MONSTER TRIBUTE
TO
Republican Club Holds
Notable Gathering.
PARTY'S RECORD AFPLAUDED
Optimism and Harmony Are
Present at Banquet.
FACTIONS ARE FORGOTTEN
John McCourt Evokes Demonstration
by Sounding Dcathkncll of AU
Splits in Party Patriotism
and Partisanship Combine
Oregon paid a. tremendous tribute of
love and respect to the memory of
Abraham Lincoln last night.
The occasion was a monster banquet
party at the Chamber of Commerce,
under the auspices of the newly organ
ized Oregon Republican Club.
It was a patriotic outpouring of loyal
Americans to demonstrate their affec
tions for and their appreciation of the
greatest American that ever lived.
While the gathering was arranged
by a political organization the pro
ceed Ings were patriotic as well as par
tisan. Lincoln's Praises Sway".
As one of the founders of the Repub
lican party which has guided the des
tinies of the Nation through more than
a half century of progress and historic
achievement, Abraham Lincoln was ex
travagantly lauded by a corps of able
speakers. His life's activities and tho
many noble qualities of his character
were held forth as the inspiration for
future party success, as well as for fu
ture individual success.
Indeed, the mention of Lincoln's name,
coupled with reference to the notable
record of the Republican party fre
quently aroused the banqueters to en
thusiastic roars of approval.
Optimism la I'resent.
A spirit of optimism pervaded. The
Republicans there were confident of
approaching party victory. The fact
that the various elements of Repub
licanism were gathered around a com-(
mon tabic was the subject of much
happy comment by nearly every
speaker.
Festoons-of American flags decorated
the room. A picture of Lincoln, draped
in the National colors, appeared be
hind the speaker's table. The menu
cards bore a portrait of the martyred
President.
John McCourt, president of the club,
started the proceedings soon after the
six-course meal to the accompaniment
of orchestra music had been disposed
of.
Mr. McCourt was the first to call at
tention to the fact that the many shades
of Republican faith had been blended
into one.
llirpoac Is Common.
"I see." he said, in his opening re
marks, "that we all are here together
for one common purpose. We have
'standpatters' If, indeed, there be any
such animals still in existence we have
Progressives, we have progressive Re
publicans, regular Republicans and ir
regular Republicans."
He characterized the irregular Re
publicans as those party men who regis
ter as Republicans and then help to
defeat their own party by voting for
Democrats.
He urged an in attendance to con
tinue their efforts to build up the now
Republican 'club.
Mr. McCourt dwelt briefly upon tho
career of Lincoln and his associations
with the beginning of the Republican
party.
Ho introduced C. A. Johns, who acted
