CONVENTION PLANK

A plank strongly condemning the

platform at the Democratic state
convention, which will be held at
Lewiston. Wednesday, March II. 1t
was learned Tuesday. The plank. it
Is said, will be pretty stiff one and
will leave not doubt Of its meaning.
The plank will probably contain a
re-iteration OF the principles of law
as laid down by Section three of Ar
tcle 1 OF the constitution relating to
religious freedom. The plank may
contain repetition of the one adopt
ed by the Democratic National Con-
vention In 1865 which was Greeted
toward the Know Nothing move
ment.
1t Is understood that planks favor
ing legislation encouraging the de-
velopment of Maine Water powers by
private capital Under proper restric-
ton for use in this state. q declara :
ton that the paramount issue for
Maine voters to consider is the in
dustrial upbuilding of the state. and

cal self government. will be presented
for the consideration of the conven-
ton.
1t Is expected that the convention
will also adopt pianks in the plat
