G.O.P. BIRTHPLACE
CLAIMS DISPUTED
Ripon, Wis., and Jackson.
Mich., Continue “War”
in Jubilees.
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. May 25.—Now is the time
for All Rood men to come to the aid of
their party.
It is the Republican party, calling
for a champion who will deride the
Question unanswered in its 75 years:
"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 decide
for themselves its birthplace, for Ripon.
a college town in Fond du Lac County,
Wia., and Jackson, Mich., through
more than half a century have taunted
themselves each as the cradle of the
party. Today each of the rival towns '
was preparing a festive birthday party, ,
Ripon t which pronounces Itself "Rip- :
pin") for June 8 and Jackson for i
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- i
brations and accepted the honorary I
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 i
President Charles W. Fairbanks, jour
neyed 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 j
of the Republican party had been incu- j
bating in the Wisconsin city for two
years prior to the Jackson convention.
In 1852, when the Whig Gen. Win
field 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 Earle 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 i
with Greeley during the 1852 conven- j
tion and had even suggested the name j
‘'Republican,” which he saidd appealed |
to him, among other reasons, for its j
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 ineffectual groups lacking
direction and control.
Bovay retained a mental note of the
new party plan and in 1854, midway
between presidential elections, decided
to strike. During the Winter, Congress
had been considering the Kansa-s-
Nebraska bill, which would smooth the
wav 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.
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 form a
new party if the Kansas-Nebraska bill
became law.

; \ear-Riot Follows Appear
ance of Prince to Watch
“Bobbies'’ Parade.
Br the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 25. Enthusiasm
aroused by the Prince of Wales at a re
view of the Metropolitan Follce Force,
which celebrated Its centennial today,
i reached an almost riotous stage.
One hundred thousand persons gath
ered in Hyde Park to witness the im
pressive review. As the prince entered
the parade field loud cheering disturbed
his mount, a beautiful chestnut mare.
The vast throngs held their breath in
apprehension as the animal reared and
curvetted, but the heir to the throne
quickly brought the horse under control
and rode it sedately down the long blue
lines of “bobbies.”
After the prince had reviewed 13,000
marching police in front of Buckingham
Palace later, a section of the crowd
rushed forward to see the prince depart.
A police cordon was immediately broken
and in the wild rush several persons, in
cluding a woman with a baby, were
knocked down and injured.
Civilians joined policemen on duty
to renew the cordon at the palace gates.
The crowd finally responded to the
good-humored appeal by the police. ‘‘Be
sports on our day off," and order was
restored.
Even then, a crowd, composed mostly
of girls, rhased the prince's automobile
down the Mall and some of the girls at
tempted to jump on the footboard,
without success.
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
cient 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
flyiag 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.
it is anticipated that this will assure
a supply of trained flyers.
