Lamar Tooze Tells Banquet Meeting Republican Party Today Stands For Same Principles as in Lincoln's Day The republican party of today stands for the same principles of truth and honesty that it did in Lincoln's day, declared Lamar Tooze, Portland attorney and party leader who spoke last night at the 32nd annual ban quet of the Lincoln club of Jack son county, and he urged his listeners to "pick up the torch which Lincoln held high and fight for these principles." The banquet, held at the Elks temple In Ashland, was attended by about 160 persons. Tooze added that the republi can party was organized to up hold the rights of the comman man, and the enslaved man, and that under the party's leadership the country grew and prospered. The coming of the new deal and "Its strange philosophy" changed our government to a species of state socialism and giant bureau cracy which Is ending Individual liberty and freedom, Tooze de clared. Return Needed The duty of the republican party is to convince the people of this country of the necessity of returning to the principles of Lincoln, Tooze said, and to show them that this is possible under an "honest and liberal" interpre tation of the constitution, and without "promises which the federal government cannot right fully fulfill. "The new deal purchased the people of this country and paid them with their own money," Tooze said. "The new deal pro ceeds on the premise that Amer P.O.

Republicans have more confidence in the Ameri can people. We don't believe it is the duty of government to serve on every board of direc tors in the country." Enmity Fostered The republican party recog nizes the right of the laboring man to organize and to bargain collectively, Tooze said, but charged that under the new deal labor had been led to believe that the employer us the natural enemy of the employee. Lincoln recognized that the happiness of the average person depends largely upon the production of the nation, Tooze declared, and said there is no ''inherent con flict" between labor and man agement and that there should be a genuine partnership. "La bor racketeers depend upon In dustrial strife for their liveli hood," he added. Changes Realised Republicans further realize the changes in the international, social and economic picture, Tooze said, saying that the party must sincerely support UNO, but should work for maintenance of an adequate army and navy. This country, while convincing other nations of our sincerity in international relations, must at the same time suffer no appease ment, Tooze said. Tooze, veteran of both wars, was introduced by George Car ter, retiring president of the so ciety.
