The Orleans county Republican
rally held at Derby Line on Tuesday
to stir up enthusiasm for large Re-
publican vote in November was per-
haps one Of the most unique political
meetings ever staged in the interests
OF anv party. Just over the interna-
tional border in Canada, at the Has
kell Opera House, the speakers adj
dressed their audiences, telling Yer
monters how the United States
should be run, while standing OH Ca
madam soil. Another feature Of the
assembly was the attendance of wo-
men, who nearly outnumbcred the
men in the audience. The gathering
was further distinguished by the fact

history OF the Republican party.

received his political training in a
University where he helped to devel-

of chaos.
president Wilson was writer of
history who believed that the Senate
would supplicate the chief executive
in matters involving the foreign pol
