WASHINXGTON, B, C; MAY 26 1 929—PART TI. 11 G.0.P. BIRTHPLAC CLAIMS DISPUTED Ripon, Wis., and Jackson, Mich., Continue “War” in Jubilees. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, May 25.—Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party. It is the Republican party, for a champion who will decide the question unanswered in its 75 vears “Who founded the G. O. P.”’ But the good Republicans who cele- brate the party's diamond jubilee anni- versary this year will have to dccide for themselves its birthplace, for Ripon a college town in Fond du Lac Coun Wis, and_Jackson, Mich, throu more than half a century have vaunted themselves each as the cradle of the Today each of the rival towns reparing a festive birthday party Ripon (which pronounces itself “Rip- pin*) for June 8 and Jackson for July 6 President Hoover, whom the disput- ing cities would cast in the role of Solomon, with Solomon's wisdom, de- clined invitations to both of the cele- brations and accepted the chairmanship of each Jackson's claim is formal, resting on the fact that a convention there on July 6. 1854. framed the first State ticket and platform under the name “Republican”: in consequence whereof numerous statesmen, headed by Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks, jour- neved to the Jackson shrine on its fiftieth Republican anniversary. Presi- | dent Taft dedicated a memorial tablet there in 1910 But numerous reputable historians, | in and out of Ripon, held that the germ | of the Republican party had been incu- bating in the Wisconsin city for two years prior to the Jackson convention. In 1852, when the Whig Gen. Win- fleld Scott was overwhelmingly defeated for the presidency by the Democrat Franklin Pierce, many insurgent Whigs decided that the spirit had passed from | the still ambulant corpse of their party, | and expressed determination to abandon | the carcass. Prominent among these was Alvin Farle Bovay of Ripon, a delegate to the Whig convention and a friend politically of Horace Greeley. In later life Bovay asserted that he | had discussed the idea of a new party with Greeley during the 1852 conven- tion and had even suggested the name “Republican,” which he =aidd appealed to him, among other reasons, adaptability to the divers tongues of immigrants then swarming at America’s gates. The need of a new party to oppose the Democrats was apparent to many at the time, for the forces opposed to the extension of slavery were hopelessly divided in inefectual groups lacking direction and control. Bovay retained a mental note of the new party plan and in 1854, mfdway between presidential elections, decided to strike. During the Winter, Congress had been considering the Kansas- Nebraska bill, which would smooth the way for extension of slavery into the Northwest Territories and repeal the Missouri compromise of 1820, until then regarded as sacred. The North was in- flamed. 5 Bovay canvassed the citizenry of Ripon and gathered them into the Congregational Church on February 28, 1854, for a political mass meeting. The | townsfolk adopted a resolution pledging themselves to meet again and for a | new party if the Kansas-Nebraska bill became law. honorary Rector Goes to Hospital.

Airplanes for Reservists. Interest in flying is to be encouraged in Italy by the distribution of 1,000 airplanes to reservist air officers. The government recently arranged for a competition among the airplane build- | ers for a small and low priced but effi- clent airplane and when the selection shall have been made, 1,000 of these machines will be ordered and distrib- uted as delivered. The recipient must undertake to do a certain amount of fiyiog each month. He may use it for pleasure or business, but must show so many hours in the air. If he fails to do this he must surrender the machine, which is then turned over to another reservist. If, however, he has fulfilled the conditions for four years the ma- | chine becomes his personal property ard his ownership is unrestricted.
