Speaks at Portland
Al this time, the doctors advised that
he take long rest at his Oyster Bay
home and refrain from any travelling
or other hard work. The Colonol
tried to follow this, but he felt that he
should go to Maine to deliver the chief
address at .he Republican State Con-
ventlon. To this the doctors agreed
with the proviso that he be very care
tul until then ana then not overdo. So.
IN the closing week of March. he went
to Portland and there delivered what
ne held was one of the most important
speeches Of his career.
It was what politicians call "kev
note" speech and in it he offered a
programme on which all factions of the
party might get together. The re-
sponse Of tho country to it was good
and. IN the ColonePs opinion, amply re-
pald the effort. To his way of think

portance that the party heal it's
schisms and get together for the com

 We must go forward, not back ward.
 To you who would be effec- ted by the addition of the 18th
 grade, and you who would be
 effected directly should the
 11th grade be discontinued ::
 Would you not rather that your boy or girl stay at home in school for one or two years more before you send them away to finish their education, wouldn't you prefer that they stay at home and get this schooling, even if it cost you as much to send them here as 1t did to send them away? But let us see about the expense of sending hem away to school.
 You must know that it will cost from $500 to $1,000 per year to send a boy or girl away to school. If you have the 18th grade here next year at least 30 pupils will get schooling here that can not be had should the 11th grade be discontinued then thirty times five hundred is $15,000 that should be kept in McCrory would be sent away should all of these boys and girls go away to school. But, you say, they will not all go. True, but they should and will attend school here if you furnish it for them. Let's take for our slogan: "A New High School and 12 Grades"
