The Marshall republican. [volume] (Marshall, Saline County, Mo.) 1899-1914, 1910-01-21
Lincoln Day
Dinner Planned
Young Republicans of State to
Celebrate at St. Louis.


The Joint banquet OF the Associa-
ton OF Young Republicans of Mis-
souri, and the Young Mems Repub-
lican Auxiliary of st. Louis, to be
held on Lincoln Day, February 12,
in st. Louis, will be the most i'm
portant gathering of party work
ers prior to the convention to be
held in jefferson City next fall for
the organization of the committees
and to draft platform.
While the banquet is primarily to
bring about better ac luaintance
among Republicans and for the ex
change OF ideas on organization it
will afford Republicans a chance to
discuss informally the issues upon
which the campaign is to be fought
out next fall. No resolutions af-
fecting party policies will be adopt
ed. Most OF the candidates for
state offices will make their an
nouncement at this time. The
meeting will afford an opportunity
for the country Republicans and
those living in st. Louis and the
other large cities of the state to
become better acquainted.
The only outside speaker at the
banquet will be Frank Hitchcock,
postmaster general of the United
States, who has accepted an in
vitation to speak. The state speak
ers will be Charles Nagel, secretary
OF commerce and labor; Senator
Warner, Gov. Hadley, founder of
the Young Republicans Associa-
ton; Walter S. Dickey, chairman
Of the Republican State Committee
and probably speakers represent
ing the st. Louis Auxiliary. The
banquet will be held at the Plant
ers' Hotel.
The state speakers in their
speeches will outline in some meas
ure at least the issues upon which
Republicans are likely to make
the campaign next fall to increase
the party's representation in Con-
gress for control OF the Legislator,
and for the election of the state
and judicial officers to be chosen.
The better regulation OF the pub
lie utilities of the state, home rule
for the three large cities, construc-
tive legislation looking toward the
conservation of the states natural
resources and the development OF
the unsettled sections, and the bet
ter .regulatioY OF the liquor traffic
to be brought about through
strengthening the local option laws
are some OF the things the speak
ers are likely to touch upon in
their addresses.
No iron gavel, with handle short
or long, will be necessary to create
and maintain harmony at the meet
ing of Missouri Republicans, as was
the case at the recent Democratic
"harrnony" meeting in Kansas City.
SSSoS "a iotOftou, PtSoAdCht VI thS
Young Republicans Association,

OF that association the afternoon of
February 70, when officers for 1910
will be elected including presi-

ISOLATION from each district will
