League of Nations Weakening. By E. F. CLIPSON. The aftermath of the Republican natfteaal convention has been somewhat sou tine as aftermaths of that sort go. The usual congratulations have been extended to the winners with evidences ?f good sportsmanship and pledges of party fealty on the part of the near winners. Inasmuch as victory fell to Ae right or conservative wing of the P?rty some dlgruntlement was to be from the lpfr nr nrmrrpsslve uriog, but so far, this has not been Manifested to an unusual degree. Progressive candidates and leaders prominent in the convention, have with a few exceptions, maintained silence, and tte assumption is that they are in seclusion. receiving first aid treatment far their wounds. Talk of a bolt Is not . nearly so voluminous as it was following Ike convention of 1916, and is not lerHving serious consideration. This * not merely opinion, but a fact gleaned from the news/Of the day. Several eminent Progressives, notably Senator Canyon of Iowa and Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin, climbed into the band magon within 24 hours after the convention. As a rule losers are treated sympafeetically and charitably, but this fight has developed the unusual spectacle cf one of the minor contenders venting Ids spleen upon the campaign and supporters of one of the big figures among Ike defeated. Nicholas Murray ButIkr, head of Columbia university, who evidently assumed that because the 3few York delegation supported him in Ae convention he was the boss of that state, has attacked the forces of Maj. Ceo. Leonard Wood as boodlers and stock gamblers who attempted to buy She presidency. He refrains from any attack on General Wood personally and indeed adopts a patronizing atti P?de toward that gentleman. General Wood and his principal campaign contributor, Col. William Cooper Procter, a man not associated In the public Mind with stock gamblers, but rather aa an affluent and somewhat prosaic manufacturer of a soap that floats, k?ve come back characteristically and rftriolically. The burden of their reply is to the effect that Mr. Butler Is a fakir who would not be able to recognize the truth If he had it under a magnifying glass. In the use of forceful and searing words it must be acknowledged that they have the better the argument. The Incident Is the ?m!y discordant note that has so fnr ieveloped in the band wagon and the jmly thing out of the ordinary in convention aftermaths. The bulk of oplnien as expressed in dispatches and editorials Is that college presidents may he men of much book "larnin'" and iigh ideals, but frequently very short *b political wisdom. Palpitant national Interest now aWfts to the Democratic conclave at San Francisco. All Indications are rt*t while there will be less external beat than at Chicago, Internal forces. "Srvs and ambitions will provide quite jw much combustion. Among those TWisonabl.v certain to he placed in mmmiation are William G. McAdoo of Vetr York. James M. Cox, governor of Ohio; A.

Bryan 1b also a posslblllt although he has not made any posltiv statement as to his attitude towar the nomination. A theory which has considerable sui port is that McAdoo, Palmer and Co will deadlock the Son Francisco cor vention much as did Wood, Lowde and Johnson the one at Chicago, am that Marshall will loom as "the Hart Ing of democracy." He has the goo will of both pro and anti-admjnlstri tion forces In the party and his ow state?Indiana?is expected to suppox him in the convention Just as Ohi supported Harding. Many who believe that the electlo will hinge on industrial and economi problems, regard Cox as the logics man. They also believe that the foe of his coming from the same "pivotal state as Harding will be an advantag< Their chief claim for his strength I his record while governor of Ohio a an advanced proponent of labor am social legislation. McAdoo's support ers rely upon his record as adminls trator of the treasury department an the railroads and his other varied ac tivities during the war, and minlmiz the effects of the title "Crown Prince which detractors have placed upon hit as the son-in-law and political heir o the president Palmer, while not s strong with labor as some of the othe candidates and who is also lookei upon with suspicion by some of th prohibitionists, is probably, next t McAdoo, regarded most favorably b the administration. He relies conslt erably upon his record as custodla during the war or alien property an later as attorney general. That It will be an Interesting cor ventlon Is certain. And they do sa that an effort will be made to get wet, or at least n\o!st, plank Into th platform, which assures that >Ii Bryan will be heard from. Most of the talk of a third party I the campaign is centered in the ai nouncement of the "Committee of Koi ty-eight" of an Intention to meet i Chicago July 10 to nominate cund dates for president and vice presider and formulate a platform. Inasmuc as this committee is made up of ind viduals who must be classed as th extreme left wing of all parties, fei vent, radicals so to speak, It must rel for* Its support upon the discontente elements of other parties. It remain to be seen whether this would dra^ more largely from one of the old pai ties than the other. In a questior nalre sent out by the committee whlc netted 21,000 replies, It Is stated the Senator Robert M. LaFollette of Wii consin was far ahead as a choice fc the presidential nomination.

STATE HOLDS CELEBRATION i i Coast First Visited by John Cabot In 1498?Maine Blazed Path to Na- j tionai Prohibition ? Produced Many Men of Note. Portland Me.?One hundred years 1 ago Maine became a state of the Union, and this year the event Is to tie official- i ly observed with a great celebration, the principal feature of which will take i place at Portland from June 28 to July 5. - .i While Maine Is only a century old as j a state, In reality the territory was one of the first settled sections of North | America. A colony had been estab-, Hshed on Its shores 16 years before the pilgrims landed' at Plymouth, j Mass., In 1630. The Maine coast, bar- 1 rtng, of course, possible discovery by the early Norsemen, was first visited, i It Is believed, by John Cabot, the Eng- ' IjRh explorer, In 1498, only six years after the discovery of the new world i by Columbus. In 1501 the Portuguese . explorer Corte-Real, came to Maine, ] awl 1G 1524Vatl^nG.iur Rail aft, sull- j Ing under a French commission, cruised j - *? * rrtr _ >.l ^ aioug tne coast, in rom u apuuiuiu, Gomez, discovered and named the Penobscot river Rio ^le las Gomez, or Stag river, and In 1526 the French explorer Thevet visited the territory and returned to Europe with a story of Morumbega. Maine's mythical city. It was In 1565 that the renowned son of Great Britain, Sir John Hawkins, came to Maine, and two years later three survivors of his second expedition crossed Its Interior, the first white iren to visit any part of the present sfote away from the coast line. In 1602 Captain Bartholomew Gosnold explored Its southwestern shore, and In 1603 Cnpt. Martin Prlng, a British trader discovered Casco bay. on which Is now located the city of Portland. First Settlement The premier attempt at settlement was made In 1604 by Sieur de Monts, the famous French explorer, who established the first colony In what Is now the United States, north of Florida. within the borders of the present stiite of Maine, on Neutral Island In the St. Croix river, near what Is now the city of Calais. The renowned Champlaln was a member of the party and cruised along the Maine coast as far east as the Kennebec river, naming Mount Desert Island. After a 'terrible year, In which the majority of the purty died from exposure and disease, the colony was obliged to give up Its existence. In 1007, the first English colony was established at Popham, at the mouth of the Kennebec river, by George Pophum. This and the colony of Jamestown, Va., founded the sa.me year were aI 4 I-1- "1ervfflnmnnfo tho hih utsl ejllkliaii oriucu^iiiji vmj utv j Atlantic coast.

He was the first to apply I the name New England to this north- I eastern section of the United States. 1 Only three years after the landing 1 of the Pilgrims Capt.
