DR.. James B. Cochrane Of Dover is
proud of the fact that he cast his first
vote for Abraham Lincoln and
walked from Bowdoin college to his
home in Fayette, so miles, to do it.
Many young men today are loyal
enough to their party to go quite a
distance by automobile or train to
vote, but few would walk SO miles.

of the World and other radicals who
attended conference here last night
called by the workers defense union
engaged in a general fight in which
score of persons were bruised and
which cleared the hall of nearly half
of the 400 persons assembled there.
The announced purpose of the meet.
ing was to inaugurate a nationwide
campaign for the liberation of all
laborers and political prisoners i'm
prisoned during the war.
! A speaker who was introduced as
"Comrade ABRAMS" precipitated the
disorder by introducing a resolution
calling for the specific inclusion of
anarchists among those whose free
dom was to be sought.
A violent debate ensued and the
chairman lost control of the meeting.
A man who began a heated alterca.
promptly hurled into the audience and

the meeting that no trouble was inn
