 Other Gatherings
 In addition to the large New York Lincoln day dinner, several score Republican meetings and dinners have been arranged throughout the country over the weekend of Feb ruary II to February i4 to cele- brate the birthday of the party's founder.
 Republican celebrations of Lin- coln's birthday this year are Of more than usual significance, Ham, ilton declared. Not only do they indicate the new spirit of party har- mony but they also illustrate that the Republican party, from coast to coast, has been rejuvenated, has become alert and now presents to the nation united front.
 While the Republican Party has solidified Its forces in order to serve the Nation by pushing forward with program to restore economic res covery, the Democratic Party has been torn with internal dissension, generated by the unwise policies which President Roosevelt insists should be pursued.
 New c, o. P.
 "The Lincoln Day Dinner In New York Is a symbol of the new Re- publican Party. It started out to be Just another dinner such as the Na- tional Republican Club in New York has held every Lineoln's Birthday for years, But this year Judge John R, Davies, president of the club, sensed the fact that he had an op. portunity to demonstrate to the country the rejuvenation of his Party. He decided to strive to make this dinner q national event and in that endeaVor he Is succeeding.
 "The Lincoln Birthday eelebrn- tons this year have this Signifi- canoe; they mark the beginning of what will be an uninterrupted march to . Republican victory in i040."
