LINCOLN CLUB
BANQUET IS A
B. 0. P. JUBILEE
;....,'...
Annual Get-Together of Re
publicans Takes On Nature
: Southern Oregon Jubilee
With Representatives From
r: Ashland, Grants Pass . and
Roseburg. '
I
; The tenth annual , banquet of the
.'Lincoln club of. Jackson county at the
Hotel Medford last ni:lit was the us
ual, gathering of republicans in this
section,' which however, on this occa
sion assumed the proportion of a
southern Oregon rally with noseburg
and Grants Pass speakers, besides
those from Medford. In all about 500
men and women were present, Includ
ing fifty from Ashland and delegations
of about tea each from Roseburg and
Grants Pass. The others were from
Medford and various other parts of
the county. "Keep Coolldge" buttons
were at every plate.
B. P. Mulkey of Portland, former
resident of Medford and former dis
trict attorney of Jackson coilnty, de-
Hvered .the. main speech, an eloquent
address on Lincoln. George Neuner,
Jr., of Roseburg, former district attor
ney of Douglas county, and for some
. time past special prosecuting attorney
appointed by Goyernor Pierce to act In
special cases in the various counties
was another prominent speaker, as
was B. V Miller of Grants Pass, presi
dent of the Josephine county Lincoln
club, and Judge C. B. Watson and E.
V. Carter of Ashland. These speakers
touched strongly on party harmony
and enthusiasm, as did local speakers.
Fun and Embarassment
One of the most amusing features of
the banquet was when Toastmaster
Gates . Introduced Mr. Neuner as a
widely known republican who had been
wandering around in strange fields
; lately and then said: "We will now
hear a few words from one of Sir Wal
ter's persecuting attorneys."
Hear.ty laughter ensued when the
Roseburg man arose, in which he join
ed. He then launched forth into an
excellent short address in which the
memory of Lincoln, his deeds and
Characteristics were briefly dwelt
upon, and some of the recent happen
ings. In the republican party. The
speaker stopped once and said apolo
getically he was not at his best be
cause "of that introduction of Pop's."
Naturally some of the speakers, es
pecially Messrs. Mulkey and Neuner
made light reference to the Teapot
Dome scandal in the republican party,
and while deploring it expressed the
belief that with President Coolldge at
the helm ho would adopt every neces
sary measure and witli the assistance
of other nationally tried and true re
publican leaders, would do everything
In their power to purify the party, rid
It of ho smell of oil, aud restore It to
Us natural righteousness.
And naturally the above mentioned
aqd others, to take the curse oft thin
embarrassing subject and rid it of
some of its party repulslveness, dwelt
upon the connection of Wm. G. Mc
Adoo, the leading democratic candi
date for president, with the scandal.
. Former Mayor C. E. Gates, the new
ly elected president, presided as toast
master and made a hit as such because
ot his brief introductions which great
ly shortened the duration of the long
program. The banquet was ended a
few minutes after 11 p. m., making It
one of the shortest Lincoln banquets
in recent years.
The, big banquet room was profuse
ly decorated with huge American flags
everywhere and with the pictures of
the presidents from Washington to the
present time on the walls, and with
Lincoln's picture In the center over
the speaker's table, flanked on each
Bide by tbose of Harding and Coolldge.
- Another striking feature of the ban
How to luildupyour
TO be under weight often proves
low fighting-power in the body.
It often means vou are minus nerve-
power. minus red-cells in your blood,
minus neaitn,
- minus vitality.
It is serious to
be minus, but
the moment you
increase the
number of your
red -blood-cells,
you begin to be
come plus.
That's why 8.S. S., since 1826, has
meant to thousands of underweight
men and women, a ' plus in their
strength. Your body fills to the
, point of power, your flesh becomes
' Sinner,' the age lines that come from
thinness disappear. You look
younger, firmer,, happier, and you
feel It, too, all over your body.
More red-blood-cells 1 S. S.S. will
build them. '

Resolutions Adopted
Among the resolutions adopted were
ones relating to the deatlis of the lale
President Harding and D. W. Luke,
the prominent local G. A. R. man who
was one of the charter members of
the Lincoln club.
Interspersed with the program were
selections by Alford's orchestra and
vocal solos by Harry. ScougalL
The gathering was called to order
by Cole Holmes, vice president ot the
club, because of the absence of the
retiring president, Miss Grace Cham-'
berlain of Ashland, who is enroute
home from the Hawaiian Islands. Rev.
W. Judson Oldtleld of Ashland deliv.
ored the invocation. Immediately the
guests were through dining the follow
ing new officers were elected by accla
mation: i
President. C E. Gates of Medford:
vice president,. A. C, Marsters of Rose
burg; secretary, A. J. Crose of Med
ford (reelected), and treasurer, Ver
non Vnwter of Medford.
Coolldge'a Tribute to Lincoln
President Gates assumed charge as
toastmaster. Miss Ora Cox ot Medford
read President Coolidge's tribute to
Lincoln as Issued In his proclamation
January 30, 1919, when the present
president was governor of Massachus
etts. . Captain H. A. Canaday, now reg
istrar of the land office at Roseburg
then recited In deep voice and with
excellent elocution Lincoln's Gettys
burg address. Then came B. F. Mul
key's address, and the various other
speeches, including one by E. V. Car
ter of Ashland who had come to the
banquet on crutches, who had never
missed a Lincoln banquet until last
year, because of the accident which
crippled him. His remarks constitut
ed one of the very best short addresses
ever heard at a local club banquet.
. E. W. Miller ot Grants Pass and
Judge C. 11. Watson also made ad
dresses of Interest, as did Mrs. W. B.
Robinson of Medrord, and Dick Posey
of Ashland, the well known poet ot the
Rogue River valley, entertained with
some of his original poems of wit, hu
mor; satire and homely philosophy.
As usual the audience could not get
enough of this and the poet responded
to encores. . . .. .
Mr. Miller's address was mainly de
voted to the wives of the past presi
dents, In which he proposed a toast
to Nancy Hank Lincoln. Judge Wat-
son's Interesting talk, was based on
bis personal acquaintance with the
time of Lincoln, the formation ot the
republican party and the times he had
heard Lincoln speak.
'This Party of Mine," was the topic
of Mrs. W. 13. Robinson's address. In
which she urged all republican women
to familiarize themselves with pres
ent day issues and candidates, local,
state and national, so that at the spring
primaries iney can vote intelligently
and with Judgment.
The banquet closed with the sing
ing by the audience of two verses of
the "Battle Hymn of the Republic."
When Toastmastqr Gates asked if
there was any one present who had
ever heard Abraham Lincoln make an
address Judge C B. Watson and Mrs.
Hattie E. Riley stood up. Mrs. Riley,
idow of Capt. W. L. Riley,
who lived here three years
ago, and . formerly lived In,
Lincoln, 111., and said she knew Mr.
Lincoln personally, that he had visited
at their home often and that sho had
heard him talk and also debate with
Stephen A. Douglas.
Judge Watson, who formerly lived
at Springfield, 111., was acquainted
with Lincoln, often heard him speak
and had whittled on the same hitching
posts that the famous rail splitter did.

Mr. .Mulkey'H Address on Lincoln
In his eloquent address on Lirieoln
B. F. Mulkey spoke pnrtly hr follows:
'Lincoln was born nt the right time,
in the right pluce. and under the right
conditions, to make him the mnn we
honor tonight. Ho was born In' tho
south, raised in the north, lived In the
west, and studied in the east. He
came into early manhood In central
Illinois. At his north in that stnte
were tho grandchildren of New'Eniy-
Inml, New York and Pennsylvania.
nnd nt his south the grnmlchlldren ot
Virginia, for Virginia was southern
Illinois' grnndmother. In lllln6lM. the
grand melting pot for the amalgama
tion of air shades of belief, ho lived at
Its center nnd touched elbows with
both extremes."
Lincoln's honesty and sagacity were
dwelt on by the spvuker, who then
continued:.
"The party was divided. Lincoln,
the republican nominee was elected.
Lincoln had won because he was right
and this country Is finding out that
the best politics and the best political
expediency lies In open, frank, avowed
honest, statement ot positive convic
tion, with clearness and distinctness.
A Grout Politician
"This man was not only 'Honest
Abe' but was the best politician that
ever lived. Political sagacity and hon
esty In the last analysis go hnnd In
hund. When will the young men and
others of this nation learn and abide
this great truth?
."Lincoln stood squarely upon the
constitution. He ascertained what tho
futhers who framed it thought on the
great question then dividing the peo
ple. After the Douglas debates In the
Cooper Union speech in New York, he
analyzed the attitude of 'the fathers'
in the constitutional convention, and
their subsequent votes, whenever they
appeared In congresses and legisla
tures, and he arrived at the conclusion
that the fathers thought and taught
that slavery would one day pass out
and become only rudimentary. It
required the New York Tribune three
weeks to verify the facts ot that great
speech, and then it was published and
sent out as a campaign .document.
"When Lincoln clearly knew wnat
the constitution tuught on any sub
ject, there he stood. Loyalty to tho
constitution was. his political religion.
Were he living today he would try
every measure, policy, movement, by
the test of the constitution. For the
constitution was wrought just after
all classes and beliefs had fought out
the revolution, commercialism, exploi
tation, capitalism, tumultuous self-
seeking, at that moment had been laid
upon the altar of the general welfare.
and the constitution was the highest
expression of those great fathors who
had developed a fortitude and a love
for their country unsurpassed and un
surpassable. If we would get guid
ance from tho life of Lincoln we can
here and now determine that when
called upon to embark In any great
enterprise of a political nature that
we will measure it by the standards
of the constitution, as Lincoln did.
Majfsty of ChuracUv.
"On April 4th, 1860, Lincoln was
inaugurated president. He followed
the puny, vacillating administration of
James Buchanan. Arms and arsenal
were In the hands of the south. A
president of the Confederacy had been
elected. Eleven states were seceding.
He closed his Inaugural address ad
monishing the south to remain friends
and to avoid conflict, he said: 'I am
loth to close. We are not enemies but
friends. Though passion may have
strained, It must not break, our bonds
of affection. The mystic cords ot
memory stretching from every battle
field and patriot gave to every living
heart nnd hearthstone all over this
broad land will yet swell the chorus
of the union when again touched, as
surely they will be, by the better
angels of our nature.' And when the
war was nearing lis close ana Lincoln
was being again inaugurated. the
majesty of his character and the
breadth and depth ot his sympathy
was shown in the. closing words of
that Inaugural address
" 'With malice towards none, with
charity for all, with firmness, in the
right as God gives us to see the right,
'let us strive on to finish the work we
nre In, to bind up the nation's wounds.
to care for him who shall have borne
the battle, and for his widow and
orphans. To do all which, may achieve
.and cherish a just und a, lasting peace
among ourselves and with all nations.'
"Tho final test of a man is the
character test, and as we approach
this great tranquil, well poised, undis
turbed, magnanimous man, his gran
deur of character looms larger and
larger In the distant horizon. And
when the sliver queen of night dances
out through the Golden -Gate and goeB
on across the Pacific sea to hold mid
night court with her Australian Btars
there In 'barbarous Archlgelngo, In
fant peoples will, with the dawn of
their civilization, lift their hands nnd
voices In love and admiration of Abra
ham Lincoln, the savolr of his country
and the emnnclpntor of a race,''
Mr. and Mrs, E. V. Carter of Ash
land who were in Medford to attend
tho Lincoln, banquet, remained over
night In the city.
