Today the Republicans of Maine will
assemble in State convention at Port
land. The large attendance of dele
gates already on the ground makes it
certain that this gathering Of repre-
sentative Republicans will be one of
the largest in the history of the State.
1t goes without saying that Governor
Cobb will be enthusiastically re-nomi-
mated. and nothing is more certain in
politics than that he will be reelected
in September by a rousing majority.
He has shown himself an able. cour-
ageous. and upright Chief Executive.
His party has rallied around him with
a unanimity and enthusiasm that is
proving decidedly diSconceriing to the
Democratic leaders who were. so noisy
ia their prophecies but few short
weeks agn. Moreover he il constantly
receiving assurances Of support from
voters who have. u"t. heretofore. acted
with the Republican party.

1t is to be regretted that the Senate
judiciary committee finds the Con-
stitution a bar to the enactment of
national law regulating insurance.
This will make it all the more i'm
portant for the various states to see
to il that the interests of policyhold-
ers are properly safeguarded. One
fact, however, was conspicuOusly
brought out in the recent New York
investigation. viz, that the leading
companies under fire in that state were
amply able to meet all their financial
obligations and still have a handsome
balance left. AS a result of the stir
ring up of the insurance question there
has been a marked Improvement in
methods of administration, and life
insurance in this country today, is,
doubtless, upon a better basis than it
has been for the last half century. Peo-
pie who have hung on to their policies
will get the benefit of this improve
ment in increased dividends.
