Proceedings Thursday

Portland, Me-, March 26.-The CALL
ing of a convention to undertake a
revision of the Constitution of Maine,
the members of which shall be elected
without party designation and the
work of the revision to be submitted
to popular vote at special election
for that purpose alone is favored in
the platform of principles adopted at
the biennial convention today of the
Democratic party of Maine. President
Wilson was praised and the national
administration commended, especially
in reference to the Mexican situation,
one of the resolutions being: I'VE
particularly commend It's devotion to
Christian principles ard high ideals
in its refusal to recognize a cruel and
bloody assassin as the duly constituted
head of a sister republic"
That the Democratic party "abso-
lately believes in temperance, in law
and order and i'll enforcement of the
law" and prohibition wherever pro-
hihition is practicable" is asserted.
Recognizing the fact that Statewide

practicable, we demand the submission
of the prohibitory amendment to the
people, and advocate its repeal in or
der that the city or town may be sub
stituted for the State as the basis of
laws designed to control or abolish the
liquor traffic law.
The resolutions favor more liberal
pensions to soldiers widows and the
early enactment into law of the Nc
Gi1licuddy bill for the monthly pay
ment of pensions by n coupon system,
truly equitable distribution of the
50 100000 highway bond issue and a
54-hour work week for women and
children in mills and factories. A re-
cancellation between William r, Pat

tee, and Former Mayor Edgar F.
Hanson of Belfast, whose opposition
last September was credited with
bringing about the election of John A.

the third district, followed by the an
nouncement that Mr.. Pattangall would
again he a candidate. took place early
In the convention while an effort to
unseat Mr.. Hanson was being made.
The two were cheered as they clasped
hands across an American flag and a
picture of President Wilson, in full
view of the 1900 delegates and specta-
tors.
Speeches were made by Chairman
Pattangall United States Senator
Charles F. Johnson of Maine, Former
Senator Obadiah Gardner and many
other party leaders. The four candi-
dates for the Democratic nomination
for Governor at the primaries in June
occupied seats upon the platform.

Democracy's Platform in
Maine for 1914 Campaign

The following is the result of the
work of the committee on resolu-
tons:
1.-THE representatives of the Demo-
cratic party of Maine in convention
assembled, rejoice in the glorious
achievements of our great national
party in the administration of the af"
fairs of the nation and to that pure
patriot, wise statesman and honest
and fearless executive, Woodrow Will
son, and those associated with him
in their accomplishment we extend
our sincere congratulations and ex-
press our fullest satisfaction.
THE Democratic party under brave
and wise leadership has merited the
confidence and the support of the
American people regardless of party.
In one short year of power it has
realized the hopes of the nation.
at has fulfilled not only it's own
pledges but pledges repeatedly made
and repeatedly broken by the Repub-
lican party.
Its record of deeds is nobler than
it's record of words it's fulfillment is
greater than its promise; its faith
full stewardship of public affairs is in
glaring contrast to that of the party
which so long
" Has kept the word of promise to our
ear
land broken it to our hope
at, has exalted patriotism above
party, the national welfare above Sec
tiopal advantage, justice and human
ity above selfshness and greed.
"It has driven the lobby from the
halls of Congress and opened it's doors
to the people.
TT has revised the tariff, steadily
downward. from beginning to end;
1T has taken taxes from the food
shelter and clothing of the poor and
placed them on the surplus wealth of
the nation;
1t has admitted free of duty articles
of prime necessity: reduced the duty
on all articles daily used by the av-
erage citizen; and imposed the high
est taxes on articles of luxury.
.It has legislated not for million
aires, but for the people; not for Wall
Street for the farm, the factory, the
mine and the shop, for the great army

agement of the American people, have
controlled legislation.
TT is NOSE remarkable that the
very things which have been accomp-
lished had been promised by the Re-
publican party but promised by that
party never to be kept. 1t had prom
Used a revision of the tariff, but seeur-
ing power it had diselaimed any pur-
pose of revising it downward in the
interests of the people and disregarded
it's most solemn platform pledge to
give the people relief from ubiquitous
and exorbitant high tariff rates. 1t
had promised to reform our archaic
banking and currency law, to check
the growth of monopolies and trusts,
but had accomplished nothing.
1.-THE Republican party, composed OF
patriotic men and good citizens, has
honestly believed that the greatest
prosperity could be secured in the ma
ton by legislating for class, and that
the prosperity conferred upon this
class would filter through them to the
great masses of the people. The DEM
ocratic party has been opposed to such

when relating to women and children en-
ployed in mills and factories Whereas
out prisons and county jails are wholly
inadequate and have no proper accommo-
dations for women offenders, provide no
means for the kind of care and training
which they should have, and, believing
that there is need in the State today for

men to which delinquent and criminal
women can be committed for proper care.

methods successfully used in other states,
the Democratic party is in favor of es-
tablishing reformatory for women.
I'VE favor such legislation as will ex-
pedite the administration Of justice in
our courts"

All Clogged Up?
Here's Quick Relief
A Simple Remedy to Correct
Constipation Before 1t
BECOMES Chronic.

Very few people go through life with
out some time or other being troubled
with constipation. Thousands injure
themselves by the use of strong cathar-
tics. salts. mineral waters. pills and sim
liar things. They have temporary value
in some cases, 1t is true, but the good
effect is soon lost and the more one
takes of them the less effective they be-
come
physic or purgative is seldom neces-
sary, and much better and more perma-
nent results can be obtained by using
scientific remedy like DR.. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin. II does not hide behind a high
sounding name, but is what 1t is repre-
scented to be. mild laxative medicine. 1t
is SO mild that thousands of mothers give
it to tiny infants, and yet it is SO COM
pounded, and contains such definite In
gradients that 1t will have equally good
effect when used by a person suffering
from the worst chronic constipation. In
fact, among the greatest endorsers of
Syrup Pepsin are elderly people who
have suffered for years and found moth
ing to benefit them until they took Syrup
Pepsin.
1t is a fact that millions of families
have DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin con-
stantly in the house. homes like those CT

light night. Before starting, III
| lighted a cigar and then entered
the buggy and took hold Of THU
reins. The impetuosity Of The
horse forced him to hold the reins
with both hands.
AS he sped along, the smoke
rushed from under his nostrils
and curled beautifully over his
shoulder. The drive took some
thing over an hour, and, on a.
lighting from the buggy, he was
surprised to find that his cigar
had not lost any in length, Hnf,
though in his mouth and puffed
vigorously for an hour or more,
it was still as long as it was when
he started. On examination, he
found that the cigar was not
lighted and had not been burned
at all But he thought he had
been having glorious smoke all
the way. In fact, his nostrils
were still putting out great vol
umes Of smoke; that is, the cold
air vaporized his breath, which
made him think that he was
smoking.
Right there and then, he says,
he decided that smoking is an I'M
mitigated fake, and he quit it.
But, If every body follows his ex-
ample, it will hit Tampa severe
blow and we hope enough people
will continue to smoke to main
tain the prosperity of our South
Florida metropolis.
