Primary Law and Convention


Republicans who may be elected
delegates to the Republican State
convention to be held in this city,
April 3 should bear in mind that the
question of convention action on the
direct primary law may he reopened
al the Portland meeting and he pre-
pared to vote. not only in accordance
with their own personal views, but in
, manner to reflect the sentiment Of
the voters of the locality which elects
them.
The platform OF the Bangor Con-
ventiOn contained plank favorins
re- submission of this law to the peo-
pie. There was little or no oppOsi-
tion to the plank at the convention
and a mapority of those present and
voting believed that in voting for the
adoption of the same they were act
ing in accordance with what was the
general sentiment of the party
throughout the State.
They were never given the oppor-
tunity 10 learn whether they were
right or wrong, but during the cam
paign and after the election there did
| develop sufficient opposition to ref
erendum of the law, so that the
Legislature declined to act, virtually
regulating the platform. Members
Of the Legislature who refused TO
vote for submission Of the law
claimed that they were justified In
the stand that they took. for the rea-
son that the action of the convention
was snap action: that the plank was
not heard of until the night before
the convention and that the delegates
were compelled to act without any
| knowledge of public sentiment.
bn
that anyone is contemplating bring
ing the matter of the primary law be-
fore the coming convention. But 1t Is
almost certain that some person Will.
Thousands Of Maine voters believe
that this law is wrong in principle
and unsatisfactory of operation. They
have strong reason for so thinking.
Impe]led by their convictions on the
subject they will not rest until the
question il submitted to n popular
referendum. They will be heard In
the convention and the delegates
should be prepared to act and to act
in accordance with what they have
learned to be the sentiment OF the
| communities they represent. The
question should be discussed in
these different communities. When
there are .caucuses. II would do no
harm II the question were brought
up during the course Of business. A
candidate for the Legislature cannot
be pledged to support the platform,
| but another time no member should
be given the opportunity Of being
able to say that the convention in
passing upon the different issues.
acted without consideration and
without authority.

Miss Tarbell set out about four or
five wears ago either to confirm or
explode the accepted tradition that
Lincoln was of common stock. she
went first to bingham, Mass. where
the first Lincolns landed in this
country. From that spot on, where
the first Lincolns set foot on amer :

and prove by documents that they
are worthy of their great heir-the
kind of stuff out of which strong
sons are made.
Regarding the early life of Abra-
ham Lincoln the author points out
that before he was sixteen the chief
interest he found in labor was the
opportunity it gave him of meeting
men In the schools of south
western Indiana, Lincoln began the
training of his memory and rose so
rapidly that the community counted
him its prize boy. the one who was
sure to stand up the longest at the
spelling match, to win the debate
and to take the recitation prize.
Miss Tarbell states that the only
institution in the community outside
of the "A r G school was the
church and she proves by reference
to the church records that the
church had first place in the Lincoln
family.

BAYING TURNED TO MOANING

What has been termed 1.-THE man
hunt now on at the national
capital. is not proving as sat
isfactory to the hunters and their
hounds as those occasionally held in
the South where the hunted is usually
colored individual, a one-sided af-
fair. in which the hunters run few If
any risks.
The belligerent baying OF the
bloodhound Is tuned down to a moan
over a thistle in the foot. and the
trail has led into unexpected and be-
wildering by-paths and the scent is
becoming confusing.
Because Secretary DENLY acted in
accord with the opinion that the gov
ernment's oil reserves were being de-
pleted by private development in
fields adjoining they would hound
him out Of office without opportunity
to be heard. they would blast the
administration by reason Of some
thing which occurred in the previous
one: short sighted shouters in the
Democratic ranks raised the cry of
the chase, a political man hunt was
or in full cry.
Then something happened. More
testimony was obtained from Mr.
Doheny. the oil exploiter. from which
II appeared that Mr.. McAdoo, lead
ing candidate for the Democratic
nomination had been On the Oil pay
roll since leaving office; that Mr.
Gregory. at first selected by Presi-
dent Coolidge as attorney to prose-
cute the oil leases, formerly attorney
general under President Wilson. after
leaving that position was employed to
appear before the President and state
department regarding interests in
Mexico: that Franklin X. Lane was
paid $4,000 by Doheny. after leaving
the cabinet: that George Creel got
$4,000 on the supposition that he had
influence with Secretary Daniels. And
Doheny charges that Daniels favored
the Standard oil interests when he
knew that the Standard was drain
ing oil from under the naval reserves
It does not appear that these mer
received pay when officials OF the
government, but it is fair to presume
their influence at the national capital
was considered when their fees were
fixed. Neither does IL appear that
DENLY ever got or expected to get a
dollar or other valuable from
signing the oil leases. McAdoe
declares the dragging IN Of his name

sense 1t is. but that doesn't alter the

There were fifteen men on dead

That is, we counted fifteen at one

We refer to the Convention Of the

Fewer than fifty were on hand
when the whole convention went to
the White House to shake hands with
the President.
There were not 500 at any time, in
our opinion.

production wasn't any more rapid
century ago than it is today.
IT have never thought Of such a
thing"
That was the comment made by
Harry \. Brinkerhofl. Portland city
manager when questioned Saturday
night regarding a .umor that he
might resign his position and again
take up the engineering profession.
Just where such n rumor started no
body seemed to know. but it is GER
tain that there was a report about
the city late Saturday to the effect
that Mr.. Brinkerhoff contemplated
giving up the position to which he
was elected a few weeks ago by the
City Council-that of first manager
of Portland under his new form of
government.
An award of $4,000 jointly to the
Central Wharf Towboat company of
Portland and the SacO River Towing
company of Saco, has been made by
Judge Hale in the United States Dis
trict Court as salvage money. The
tug Cumberland and tug a. G. Prem
tiss, assisted by the cutter oSsipee,
hauled the government oil tanker An
Luac off Fortunes Rock Ledge,
April Is. last year, and took her to
Portland Harbor. The judge finds
the total savage service was worth
SIS. 900. and the balance would go to
the Ossipce if that craft was eligible.
1t cost $4,000 to repair the tanker
and she was sold for $4,000.
Outside of the loadings on the
regular liners leaving here grain
shipments from this port seem to be
at a standstiil. and the total for the
winter bids fair to be the smallest
f"r many years. SAYS The Portland
Press Herald. At the present time
the two Grand Trunk elevators are
comfortably we'll filed and 400 un
loaded cars were on the track yes
terday, but little more is now on the
way. and it is said that only one
order for 10000 bushels of grain is
all that is booked for immediate ar
rival. and as far as known not sim

for Portland loading February l..
This heavy slump in grain export is
not confined to Portland, Boston,
Philadelphia. Baltimore and other
Atlantic ports shipping only frac-
ton of the amount usually going out
at this season of the year.
On March bids will be opened in
Washington for finishing the hull of
q lightship now on the stocks at the
yard of the Bath Iron Works. Ltd.
The Bath plant of course will bid.
The hull is to have a DIESEL engine
installed which will he furnished by

to go with the ship except the DIESEL

also been requested to bid on light

ers principally the Mississippi river.
