the Blues, finally hit the net for
their first field goal. AS Carter
and Glover went i'm this half.
so went the BrocoS. With their
fancy ball handling, the Broncoy
were able to maintains their lead
most of the half. In the final
few seconds of the half the Blues
were able to knot the count at
IL all as Lacy "Stompy Joe"

The Broncos bounced back at
the beginning of the second
half to gain commanding lead
as Banks, Gilbert and Glover
sank shot after shot from under

out six points in lead before the
befuddled Blues called time out
to get their signals straight.
Winfield, the scoring dervish
for the Blues, became a one-man
gang as he broke through the
Broncos' defense time and time
again to score for the Blues AT
ter bringing the score to 1884,
he tied the count with perfect
shot from the charity line. 1t
was WINFIELD who came back
with another free throw TOYS to
thoroughly wipe out the big lead
which the BrOncos had piled up
and changed the ScOrc-bOard

Winfield took the ball from

Winfield was high POM man
for the Blues, scoring 6 field

The Civil War practically
broke out before Lincoln took
the oath of office. 1t was a Repub-
lican government that fought
the successful war to save the
Union. Most of the opposition
came from the Democrats. In
1864 the Republican party, of
course renominated Lincoln and
chose as their vice President
Andrew Johnson of Tennessee.
Such were the beginnings of
the Republican party which has
had the support and confidence
of the people of the United States
from 1861 to the present date
a period of 80 years, with the eX-
ception of the administrations
of Grover Cleveland, Woodrow
Wilson and Franklin D. Roose-
welt, candidates of the Demo-
cratic party.
Few, if any, of the men call
ed to the Presidency surpassed
Lincoln's stature a a thinker, a
/ and "doer of the word" A love
of country and his fellow-men is
revealed in all he wrote.
Since this is the Lincoln ami
versary, it is appropriate to re-
call some expressions as typify-
ing the elevated thoughts that
served as guides in all of his
personal and political actions:

His Personal History, Birth of
the Republican Party; LincOlns
Principles-"One of the Might
lest of Earth"
BY DIR. Emmett J. Scott

BY DR.. Emmett ]. Scott
Washington, D. G. - Next
week, throughout the country,
on February IL, hundreds and
hundreds of communities will
pause to pay tribute to the
memory of Abraham Lincoln,
the Great Emancipation.
No group will enter more
heartily into the spirit of these
celebrations than representa-
tives of the race whom fate and
fortune elected as the chief
beneficiaries of Lincoln's historic
Charter of Freedom.
Lincoln's personal history is
well-known to every high school
boy and CIR, and to the intelligent
of the world. The Lincoln saga
has been told in song and story
in every nation on the face of
the globe.
His lowly beginnings, the priva
tions he endured, his poverty,
his self improvement his early
hatred of the institution of
slavery, his introduction of a
bill outlawing it's extension while
serving as a member of the Iii
nois legislature, his growth intel
lectualy, his election to Congress
his debates with Stephen A.
Douglass, his nomination. and
election as President of the
United States, and all the sequen
ces = Civil War, Emancipation
his assassination, and the
worlds acclaim of his charac-
ter and achievements are writ
into the warp and wool of A
meri-can history.
A brief review of the found
ing of the new political party
whose nominee Lincoln was may
not be amiss: 1t really had its
origin in popular meetings at
Ripon, Wisconsin, on February
%, 1854 and at Jackson Mich on
July s, of the same year. AT the
very outset it took as it's main
issue the protection Of basic
human right. the main issue
that it stood for was the proven
ton of the extension of slavery
into the territories.
The first convention was held
in Philadelphia in 1856. On the
firt ballot General Fremont was
nominated for the Presidency
The platform opposed the extern
sion of slavery into the terri
tories and favored a protective
tariff for American industry
This new party lacked effective
organization in many of the
Eastern states and, of course
it received no support in the
South. Nevertheless, Fremont
secured ia electoral votes a
gainst TIA for Buchanan. In 1855
the Republican party managed
to elect majority of the mem
bers of the House of ReDrescu
tatives.
Although the part had only beer
in existence six years it wol
the Presidential election of &c
In the convention held in Chi
cago that year it selected Lincoli
the leader of the western Repubi
cans; as it's Presidential nomine
