The Time for Choosing Delegates.

The Democrat has been asked whether
it is legal to choose delegates to the
several Republican conventions before
the calls for them are issued. While it
is matter with which the law of the
state has nothing to do, it is customary,
in the call for a convention, to state that
delegates, in order to be eligible to par
t,cipate in the convention, must be
chosen subsequent to the date of the
call. The calls for the Republican state
convention to be held at Bangor on the
10Th of June, and the Republican county
convention to be held on the LIST of July,
have not yet been issued. IL they con-
tain the provision noted above-and it is
probable that the state convention call
will have it, and certain that the county
convention call will-delegates chosen
before the date of the call will not be en-
titled to recognition.

The naval history of the present war
in the East, especially the recent loss of
the PetrOpavlovsk, furnishes the text
for extended comment on the unwisdom
of building so many costly battleships
which are liable TO be destroyed in a
moment. 1t also calls attention TO the
fact that the United States navy is poor
" supplied with torpedo boats in COM
parison with other navieS. Yet it may
be remembered that a torpedo boat is in
peace sort of floating strait jacket, in
whose cramped quarters anything like
comfort for the men is next TO impossi-
BILE; and in war it is relatively an egg
shell. liable if it gets within range OF
the enemy's guns to be annihilated by a
single shot which would hardly damage
battleShip. Indeed, with the progress
of the years new force is added to that
pithy statement of Commander Vain
wright, War can not be made safe
business.

congested, causing numerous diseases,
the most fatal of which are painless and

IL is more or less current comment just
now that the recent blowing up of the
Russian battleship PetropavlOvsk, and
the accident about the same time on our
own Missouri, lead to the suggestion that
perhaps the Maine was blown up from
the inside. IL may be that the Maine
was SO blown up-no one knows beyond
a possibility of doubt; but il is difficult
20 see the line of reasoning which con-
meets the several occurrences. The
Petropavlovsk was blown up in time of
war, and all evidence indicates that
either Japanese or Russian mine was
responsible. The accident on the
Missouri occurred during gun firing and
as its direct result What is there about
either case that should suggest an inter
nal explosion on the Maine, lying at
anchor at night in a friendly harbOr in
time of peace?

"Our association should keep agreements In
violate. A fair agreement means fair days
pay for fair days work. The men who are
irving to use the union to hold their Jobs when
they are unable unwilling to do fair days
work in a workmanlike way are enemies to the

SO sure is the nomination of President
Roosevelt that probably few, even of
those specially interested in political
matters, have kept track of the pre-

convention. In fact, more than half the
delegates to that convention have been
already chosen, and a large majority of
them are instructed for Roosevelt.

of miles apart, farms at distance of
miles, the residents of a village or city,
and occupants of different rooms in a

elaborate telephone system has ever
been put in to establish communication
between people in one room. This will
be done at the Democratic national con-

newspaper tables will be supplied with
Instruments. and much of the business
