Coolidge

An interesting item is going the rounds stat
ing how Massachusetts Republican leaders train
her governors. Young men of good character
and ability encouraged to seek office in the
lower house of the state legislature. Those who
by their accomplishments justify the promotion
are advanced from the house to the senate. Here
they are given the opportunity to serve as men,
bers and as chairnen of important committees
Those whose ability is pre-eminent are re-
warded with the successive offices Of president
of the senate, lieutenant governor and governor.
las result of this systematic and thorough
training Massachusetts has been served by gov
,ernors of unusual character and ability, and has
come to be regarded as one of the best, probably
the best, governed states in the nation.
Such was the training of the man the Repub-
llican party chose to offer to the nations voters
this year for president when it nominated
Governor Coolidge of Massachusetts. Not since
Roosevelt was the running mate of Mckinley
during the latter's second term has the candi-
date for vice-president been a of such
proved character and ability.
1t marks a return to the governing principles
of the early days of our republic when American
voters are given such an opportunity to dignity
the vice-presidency by the election Of man
every whit as capable and strong as is the NOM
inee for the presidency.
In those early days the vce-presdency was
the training school Of presidents.
To prophesy is rash. However, considering
Governor Coolidge's years, he is only forty-eight
his splendid record as governor of Massachu-
sets, some phases of which earned him national
recognition and respect, one is tempted to pre-
dict that President Harding's successor eight
years hence will be this man who will preside
the senate during that period.
At least to wish so by any citizen would be
but the expression of perfectly natural desire
that the undoubted return of the Republican
party to power for another long period will usher

Most of them are of an autobiography
ical nature, in which the author tries
to justify his action In the war and
to blame other leaders and the politi-
cal parties for the failure of cam
paigns in which he participated. Most
of them agree, however, that the low
morale of the German people toward
the close OF the war was responsible
for dissatisfaction in the army, which
helped bring about the collapse. Few
of them are willing to concede to the
allies credit for their military achieve
ments and most of them try to deride
Americas part in the war. The i'm

the allied cause is a sore spot with the
authors They are unwilling to credit
the American army with the praise
it deserves.

The Soldiers Will Vote

The soldiers of the Sd Maine In
fantry, National Guard, who will be
at Camp Devens, Mass, on the pri-
mary election day in Maine, which
will take place on June 81 next, will
have the same opportunity to vote
as though they were at home The
ballots will be printed for them and
either sent there in the custody Of
the officers appointed to conduct the
soldiers election or expressed so that
they will arrive in time. Some more
than 5000 will be provided, to take
care of all parties that may be rep
resented among the boys.
The secretary of State had been
furnished with the following list of

The total number Of ballots to be
printed this year for the primary
elections in Maine will be about
100000. OF this number ss1. 2&o have
been ordered for tho Republican
tickets and SEATED for the Demo-
cratic tickets. Add to this the rising

5000 for the soldiers at Devens and
the million will be reached.
This number was taking into con-
sideration of the point that there all
along has been a possibility of the
women voting at the primary cleo
ton, but which now has become an
impossibility.
The shipments of ballots have been
going on for some time and Deputy
Secretary of State H. A. Shorey said
yesterday that they were going out
in ample season and time to spare,
even ahead of two years ago. when
the least friction appeared in the his
tory of handling the ballots.

com mission has decided to leave the
matter open and all persons having
information or DESTROYS of offering

The Legislature at the special ses-
sion in November. 1919. ordered the
Public Utilities Commission to inves-
tigate the matter of farm crossings
and cattle passes and report to the
next regular session of the Legisla-
ture. When the commission was
able to take few days from its
ings mentioned and expected. the
matter being in the interests of the
farmers. that some interest would
be shown by them.
State Master w. J. Thompson of
the Grange was called into consulta-
ton and strongly favored the line of
work. The commission drafted q
letter. setting forth the purpose of
the law and the commissions plan
of action and sent it to each of the
49O Oranges in the State, inviting
any and all to attend the hearings
To the members astonishment. but
one member of Grange appeared.
Mr.. Senate of York county, who said
he was ashamed of the fact that he
was the only representative at the
Portland hearing after the invitation
given by the commission to Grange
organizations all over the State"
The only appearances at Portland
beside Mr.. Senate was the railroad
men, Mr.. Alexander and Mr.. o.
Rourke. representing the Boston &
