Bull Moose meeting of the First Con-
gressional district, which comprises

w. Bourke Cochran, of Port Wash
ington, and J. B. Coles Tappan, OF
Oyster Bay, a personal friend of the
third termer. The deadlock was
broken when Mr.. Tappan notified the
convention that positively he would
not accept the nomination. Mr.. Cock
ran was then chosen.

lies of Maine are of French blood.
Most of them are Democrats; many
of these are of the fourth to sixth
generation born in Maine. They are
renowned for virtue, family affection,
public spirit and industry. Some of
their churches are administered by
from six to twelve priests each. The
priests have always told their people
stay at home and work for the So
cial and political welfare of the State.
This advice has been followed.
Maine entered the Union in 1920, a
State overwhelmingly Democratic.
Her constitution embodies the wis
dom of Thomas Jefferson in his last
years. He went over it, line by line,
with the heroes of the Revolution and
of the War of 1872, who made Maine
a State. The eighth article of Names
Constitution-relative to public edu-
cation-is wholly by Thomas Jeffer-
son.
Names Constitution remains to
this hour the most advanced demo-
cratic document under which men
are governed. Under it for many
yC1lS JCiiti SOllldl1iSIh dluiiipbCo a
Maine, and 1t was a model for they
who In Europe and Latin-America
were striving for enlightened liberty.
1t is to the credit of the early Re-
publicans in Maine that they never
sought to change her Constitution
into an anti-democratic form. But
in recent years the lilliputians of
that party, in surrendering to the
trusts, nulli1ed a considerable part
of the Constitution. But today we,
whose ancestors from Maine fought
with Washington for Jefferson's prin-
ciples, see the grand old document
ono more in full being under the
protection of our noble and venerable
Democratic party.
Bad company has ruined the Re-
publican party in Maine. The party
of Hannibal Hamlin, William Pitt,
Fessenden, the Morrills, James G..
Blaine, William Pierce Frye, Eugene
Hale and Thomas B. Reed is no more.
Only a few old figures are left, like
Major-General Chamberlain, "the mo-
blest old Roman of them ALL" There
is nobility and heroism in these old
guard Republicans of Maine, as they
face defeat in September and Novem-
Der. They tend to resemble nothing
so much as the old guard at Water
loo, as the sun went down with most
of the French dead. wounded or in
flight. Then facing the hell of fire
from all points, the old guard goes
forward to win greater glory in de-
feat than came to them when the sun
of Austerlitz gilded their victorious
arms.
Many among Names Democrats of
today remember a time when it was
Democratic.
81 wonder if my fellow son of
Maine, George L. Record, remembers
speaking at a Democratic meeting
in Maine thirty years ago, when his
friend, Colonel Albert Bradbury, Han
cooks favorite artillery officer, said,
pointing to a large group of Demo-
Gratis who had helped build the Kear-
sarge and afterward served on her in
sinking the Alabama:
Gentlemen, just as surely as the
Maine-built Kearsarge, which when
she sank the Alabama had six times
as many Democrats as Republicans
on board, triumphed over Semmes, so
in time the Democrats of Maine will
sink the Republican party to obliv-
ion" G. WILFRED PEARCE.

The Peace

To the Editor of the Evening Star
Sir-In one Of your recent issues
there appeared an article on the re-
cent military movements of the regu-
lar army and militia suggesting by
inference that the sentiment of the
people at large did not, as they right
ly should not, indorse the movement.
Perhaps it is all right under the
present state of affairs hat we should
as a nation prepare and be prepared
for war.
AS one of the soldiers of this coun-
try who served three years in the
Civil War 1t seems to me that all the
energies Of the people of this land
can be better directed in the ways
of peace.
The world at large seems to be bat
tleship crazy, and if the press of
this country will universally d~iscour-
age any and all military enthusiasm
1T seems to me it will be doing a good
act.
A police force should be all that is
necessary to quell local disorders, and
an international limiting of arma-
ments would remove one of the potent
causes of war.
