For the first time in the history of a big political convention in Maine, women will have a prominent place and some of the best seats in the Republican State convention here next Thursday. The convention will be held in the Auditorium, the home of the Maine musical festivals, and the raised seats at the back of the stage seating the big chorus at festival time will be assigned to the ladies at the convention of which there is room for nearly 1,000. Plans now contemplate a parade of convention delegates, headed by the Bangor band if the weather and conditions of the streets permit.
