 I have the honor to read to you 1 messages from our national leaders the Republicans and to the Re- 1 publican Party of Alaska. whom it's leen our pleasure to know and CO., 1 operate with.
 l I think it is particularly appro- 'riate that the citizens of Alaska ;hould assemble at this time of the ear dedicated to the memory of our irst Republican President, Abraham Lincoln. While Lincoln did not live 0 see Alaska under the American lag, the negotiations which led up 0 the happy event originated dur ng the term of his Administration. It is difficult to imagine how pro- -oundly the course of history might e altered if the first Republican administration had not taken the necessary steps to acquire sover- lignty over your great Territory.
 It was during the Administration of Lincoln and his Republican sue 'essors in the White House that the Nation embarked upon the program )f development of our natural re- 'ources which has produced such eminently satisfactory results to- day. I would like to further the prophecy that under the Republi- can Administration which will take office in January 1949 that pro- gram of development will be still further expanded along realistic and effective lines, and that Alaska will come in for her full share.
 On this occasion i wish to extend the best wishes of the National Committee for the success of your gathering, and for the prosperity of the Republican Party in Alaska, and to that I would like to add my own personal best wishes.
 Sincerely yours,
 CARROLL REECE.
 Greetings to the Republicans of Alaska on Lincolns Birthday and best wishes for i948.
 HAROLD E. STASSEN. Alaska Republicans will meet on February twelfth in honor of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. On that day am speaking myself in St. Paul, Minnesota, and expect to also make speeches the same week in Illinois, Nebraska and Colorado The Republican Party is still founded on the principles proclaim ed by Abraham Lincoln, freedom and equality. It believes today ln the freedom of individuals from the bureaucratic regulation of an all- powerful state, freedom of State and local communities from interference by the federal Government. It be- lieyes in equal justice under law so that there may be no discrimina- ton and no dependence on the arbi- trary discretion of some Federal bureaucrat.
 I extend my kindest greetings to the Republicans of Alaska.
 With best wishes,
 Sincerely yours,
 U. s. SENATOR ROBERT A. TAFT. am happy to send warm greet ings to the officers and members of the Republican Party of Alaska from the Republicans of the Empire State on the occasion of the cele- bration of Lincolns Birthday on February 18th.
 Modern science, especially in the field of communications, is bring ing the people of Alaska every year closer to us who dwell south of the Canadian border. I am happy to say that our appreciation of the great resources and strategic 1m- oortance of Alaska is growing.
 We read with great pleasure of the progress made in your magnl- ficent domain and share your eag- erness to see the day when Alaska will graduate from the status o1 a territory and become another state If the Union.
 It is mighty good news that the members of the Republican Party are carving high the banner o1 the principles and purposes of the Party in Alaska. It is great service not only to the Party, but to the welfare of our entire country ana congratulate all of you on your loyalty and devotion to the great purposes through which we shall bring a better government and brighter future to our people this coming year.
 Sincerely Yours.
