The resolutions follow:
Resolved. That we the representa-
tives of the Republican party of the
State of Maine in State convention as
Sembled re-affirm our faith in the time
honored principles of our party. We
pledge the maintenance of the prohibit
tory laws Of our State, the pride and
glory Of the founders Of the Republican
party in Maine, so successfully en-
forced in their generation. We demand
a like impartial enforcement Of said
laws.
Resolved, That, with full condolences
in the people of Maine. we favor the re-
submission of the fifth amendment Of
the constitution. by the next Iegisla-
ture under the provision OF Article x
providing for amending the State con-
StiJution.
The suggestion of returning the res
olution to the convention with report OF
| action was objected to by Mr.. Haines
Ct Waterville, who said that such a
suggestion was entirely unnecessary
and out of the ordinary. F.. +. Rounds
of Portland sustained Mr.. Talbot's sug-
e"stion, saying that the committee
should report on the resolution, whether
faVorably or otherwise. Mr.. Haines
moved that an amendment be adopted
in connection with Mr.. Talbot's original
motion striking out the portion refer
ring TO instructions to the committee
and the amendment was adopted The
original mot. on to refer, as thus amend
ed. was then passed. z

The Afternoon Session.

The afternoon session Of the conven-
ton was called to order by Chairman
Frye at 150 O'Clock. Hon. Charles +.
LittIefeld was called to the platform
and he was again received with great
applause. Congressman Littlef1eld
thanked the convention for its generous
reception and said that it was partic-
uarly gratifying at this time to be
here and to meet the delegates. | want
to thank you for the ovation 1 received
this forenoon. Such a mark of appre-
citation goes to help out the discom-
forts which l have had during the past
few weeks l want to say that not
withstanding the difficulties that seem
to be in the way of the Republican
ship of State, all of the Republican
states Will receive Il heavy majority.
From now on in this campaign the time
has passed when the Republican CO.
horts are to stand on the street to
receive the shots of the enemy. The
Democrats will be vanquished as they
always have been. The Democrats in
their convention in Bangor got togeth-
CT very funny platform. They said
they have an abiding faith in the peo-
pie of Maine. If this is true. 1t is a
preoursion of the Democratic defeat
in the State Of Maine.
"rhey demand resubmissi0n in or
der that it may be settled for century
and be removed from political agita-
ton. 1t is self-murder They ask
shall the State of Maine be honest?
Where would the Democrats be IL the
State Of Maine was honest? Cyrus Da-
Wis said that resubmission means IL
cense for the State Of Maine but the
platform says that it means its remov-
al. You pay your money and take your
choice. If a man votes for Davis he
votes for the platform interpreted by
him. We will strip from the Democra-
cy the mark of hypocrisy. welcome
the discussion of resubmission at this
convention because the Republican par
ty favors free speech and any man has
a right to voice his opinions. We will
thrash the question out here and when
we adopt our platform we will have ore
on which we will stand and on which
we can meet the enemy. That Is all
that I have to say on that particular
question. When we will nominate
Governor Cobb at this convention we
will rally behind him and give him a
great majority because his attitude Is
beyond criticism While this may be
