This did not discourage Mr.. Lillard in
the least for the same conditions pre-

as was the case at Milton, the people
only needed to get together. Everyone
was in favor Of a county fair and Of

Fortunately the board Of county
commissioners was in session, and, as
stated above, responded to the request
for aid from the citizens with 1926,
$500 fer the county fair and $26 as
special prize for the, corn exhibit to

the maintenance of the principles pro-

pendence and embodied in the federal
constitution is essential to the pre-
servaticn Of our republican institr-

Since that seemingly inspired utter

statesmen, the republican party and a
republican nation have written the
most glorious half-century Of progress

pie, for the people. We renew our al
legiance to the principles OF the repup-

cause of republican institutions estab-

1t is appropriate that we should now
recall with q sense, or Veneratlon anu

leader who was nominated in this city
and whose lofty principles and superb
devotion TO his country are an lnsplra-
ton to the party he honored-Apra-
ham Lincoln. In the present state OF
public affairs we should be inspired by
his broad craftsmanship and by MS
tolerant spirit toward men.
The republican party looks back upon
it's record with pride and satisfaction,
and forward to it's new responsibilities
with hope and confidence. It's achieve

most luminous pages in our history.
Our greatest national advance has been

Taft's Patience Extolled.
Noting his stalwart greatness in the
stress of passing events, I believe him
the finest example OF lofty patience
since the immortal Lincoln bore the
courage of vengeful tongues without
murmur from his noble heart. I can
best describe by appropriating and re-
vising Tennyson's Statesman" to
make it read:
HE. seeing far and end sublime,
Contends, despising party rage,
To hold the spirit of the age
Against the clamor of the time"
Sirs. I have heard men arrogate to
themselves the title of progressive
republicans" seemingly forgetting that
progression is the first essential to re-
publican fellowship.
Progress was pronounced at the bap-
tismal font Of our party christening,
and republican progress is the mea-
sure of American progress, orderly and
enduring.
