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

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.

A theory which has considerable sui
port is that McAdoo, Palmer and Co

that Marshall will loom as "the Hart

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

candidates and who is also lookei
upon with suspicion by some of th

McAdoo, regarded most favorably b

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

netted 21,000 replies, It Is stated the

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 .

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

Its year of suffering, the Virginia, the
first vessel to be built In North Amor- i

In 1G13, the French Jesuits organ- ^

its principal points. Including Cape i
Elizabeth. 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
