fAUE THKWW. POLITICAL CAMPAIGN IS OPENED BY A ROUSING LINCOLN CLUB BANQUET With over 300 men ami women or Jackson county and prominent repub licans from all parts of the state in attendance the annual banquet of the Lincoln club was held hist night at the Hotel .Medford with Rood old lashioned befo'-the-wah hilarity. Al tlio a vast majority present wen; re publicans, several well known demo crats were on hand, and seemed to enjoy the program as well as anyone else, altho during parls of ruh.nel Washburn's speech some of ihem showed signs of findiiiK the atmo sphere slightly oppressive. 'Principal interest was centered in the political speech by Colonel Wash burn who Is a favorite wit li Jackson county republicans and has u state wide reputation as a partisan spell binder of picturesque powers, exten sive vocabulary, and a genius for painting tho flaws cf the opposition In vivid, graphic and eruptive phrases. After recalling the delay in the administration declaring war the speaker called attention to Secretary of War Maker's statement in lit 17 that tho country might not send troops abroad for many months and how action was only forthcoming by the call of Lloyd George and Clemen ceau "If you ever intend to help us do' It now!" McAdoodle's llrigudc Two million American boys, said the speaker, went abroad to fight and splendidly they fought Tor .!0 a month while another army of patri ots at home under the leadership of Secretary McAdoo worked leisurely In the shipyards and munition factor ies for wages ranging frc-nt $" to per day, and kept bawling for inure. The extravagance, lethargy and in competence of the admlnisi ration, said the colonel, had so demoralized the industrial ranks of the country that strikes had followed strikes, and the people were faced with depriva tion and suffering if they failed to raise wages still more. The Peace Treaty The present situation was summed up as follows: "If republican senators are in fa Tor of the treaty, with the American izing Lodge reservations, if democra tic senators who are not muzzled and hogtled by Mr. Wilson are for it, if President Lowell of Harvard and ex Presldent Taft are for it, if the ltrit ish people as represented by Viscount Grey are for It, if the Kronen people as represented by their newspapers and leading men are for it, then you are for It and 1 am for it, and the only obstacle to ratification, complete peace and a return to normal peace conditions. Is Mr. Wilson himselt. The colonel smashed his pnllysylla hles at tile administration in his old pugnacious style and bad the aud ience in laughter most of the time. Father Powers particularly was so perpetually ci.nvulsed Unit his cus tomary complexion of ruddy health was changed to a deep magenta,1 which worried his next door neighbor Dofr V. Walker, so much he started to give assistance at one time with a glass o; water, then gave it up when something suddenly struck his funny bone and he had to stop to mend his -No. j:i collar and the back of his chair. As to Xon-Parl ians In closing the colonel paid his re spects to the administration's Fud-dee-duddies, who, lounged and loafed and wasted the poor tax payer's money, hut assured the audience that relief was less than a year off when the (I. O. P. would return to power as sure as every non-partizan was a democrat. "It makes little difference" paid the cdonel, "who the republican can didate is as long as he is inn per cent American and leu per cent republi can. These non-partizan men on the lence, who don't know where to jump need not apply. The party ladies and gentlemen is the flesh und blood, the body and soal of our government. We are not ashamed of .the republican party and haven't been for ail years, t'.ive us a 1UU per cent party man and nothing will stop us next November." y Itisliop Hughes' Address From a non-partizan standpoint the most enjoyable speech of the evening, and one of the best ad dresses ever heard insouthernOregon. was given by Bishop Matt S. Hughes, of the Methodist Kpiscopal church. Bishop Hughes said in part: "The nuriiose of tills address is ,ni euhiirv: it is an interpretation Willi 1 his aim ill view we must fix mil' attention on Lincoln, the man I'll,, sinii'eme achievement of Abra ham Lincoln was Abraham Lincoln.

"His clarity id' vision enabled him to see as he stood on the threshold of Ids career that the paramount issue was the preservation of the I'nioti. In his .iudsiiuent the threat to dis rupt the Ueimblic was a 'peril lo man kind.' lie felt that the welfare ol the whole human race was involved. Wherein lies the difference between Lincoln and Lee.
