taneous ovation was also given to Con-
gresham Littlefield, both at bis appear
ance on the floor and when he urged his
hearers to do good fighting all along the
line this year.
The question of the resubmission of
the prohibitory law was early grappled
with by the convention, the first gun
being fired in the forenoon. The gates
were thrown wide open, and everybody
who had anything to say on the subject
had the fullest opportunity to be heard.
No gag law was applied, not even
limit being established for the length
of speeches And then after the last
had been said, the mighty convention
arose and buried resu omission, standing
by the enforcement of existing laws.
Out of the nearly 1400 delegates, only
fifty voted for resubmission. Then came
the applause, almost enough to raise
the roof, and then also the unanimous
adoption of the resolutions reported
from the committee, which we publish
I'd last week, and which we ask all our
readers to read carefully and ponder;
and then the placing of Gov Cobb on
the platform. which he practically made
himself in the Deering speech.
Gov Cobb could not consistently
stand on any other platform. The path
of honor and integrity is the straight
path, and his brief speech of acceptance
is a gem of itself and bugle call to
duty. We have not done what the
Democrats wanted us to do, and they
are disappointed. The Republicans are
full of hope as they follow their tried
and trusted leader. The great conVen-
ton was an inspiration to all who parti-
cipated in it, yea, even to those who
witnessed it, and it's influence will be
potent throughout the campaign.

Adventure at Hayden Lake

HerWegh Won Eide, the distinguished
New York violinist, who lie passing the
summer at the Morrison cottage, Hay
den Lake, and his friend and business
manager, Mr.. Eugene Woodlands, had an
exciting experience one afternoon last
week, from which, had not Nj. Wood

lde might not have escaped.
Mr.. Won Eade hooked large bass
Will fishing from wharf at one Of the
neighboring cottages and in his etlJrts 10
land the fish lost his balance and fell iu-
10 the lake. The water was some seven
or eight feet deep and as Mr.. Won Eide
IS Il very imperfect swimmer he dis
appeared beneath the surface with a
promprness which WAS appalling TO Mr..
Woodlands, who witnessed the accident
from distance. MI. Woodlands Is an
expert swimmer and the water has no
terrors for him. He lost no time in rush
ing 10 his friends assistance, throwing
aside such of his garments as he could
on the way to the water. He succeeded
after considerable fort in raising his
friend to the surface and towing him
ashore.
Nj. Won Ende had substituted water
for air in his lungs TO some extent, which
in any degree is exceedingly disag eeable,
bu, after the irritation caused by this
subsidized he found himself more the
worse for his experience. The adven-
ture, while too serious TO bear repetition,
has its amusing features in the retro
sppct and will be long remembered By
the two NV Workers among the incl
dents of their summer 10 Maine.
