Abraham Lincoln said in his famous “Lost Speech” before the first Republican state convention in Illinois: “There is one desire which is uppermost in the mind, one wish common to us all—to which no dissent will be made; and I coun¬ sel you earnestly to bury all re¬ sentment, to sink all personal feel¬ ing, make all things work to a common purpose in which we are united and agreed about, and which all present will agree is ab¬ solutely necessary.” I A Paul Steinbrecher DFf’lITC’p no business can stand still, DEjVxiUiJIj but, like men, must pro- & Company Successors to George W.

Works: Franklin, Orleans, Division and Elm ESTABLISHED 1862 Page Four The Start of the “New Party” -of 1856- As the Progressive party sprang into existence in 1912 to meet the demand of the people for a “new party” standing cleanly and aggressively on the supreme issue of the day, exactly so sprang up the Republican party in the year 1856. The first gatherings of the “new party” of half a century ago parallel the first gatherings of the “new party” of the present so closely as to make their history of vivid interest today. The first national Republican meeting was a conference at Pittsburg on February 22, 1856; the first national Republican convention took place in June of the same year at Philadelphia. Both were full of the spirit of militant protege that inspire Progressives today; both showed the same triumph over the troublous questions of ways and means. The Pittsburg conference inevitably suggests the first Progressive national meeting at Orchestra Hall at the close of the recent Republican National convention on June 22, 1912. Of its first day’s work Horace Greeley wired by “magnetic telegraph” to the New York Trib¬ une: “The Republican Convention has completed its first day’s session, and has accomplished much to cement former political differences and distinctions, and here to mark the inaugura¬ tion of a national party based on the principle of Freedom. The gathering is very large and the enthusiasm unbounded. Men are acting in the most perfect harmony and with a unity of feeling seldom known to political assemblages of this magnitude. Its moral and political effect will be felt for the next quarter of a century.” From this conference issued a national convention call “To The People of the United States, without regard to past political differences or divisions.” And in response, the first national Republican convention assembled at Philadelphia, June 17, 1856. It was called to order by the Hon. Edwin D. Morgan of New York, chairman of the provisional national com¬ mittee, wlio named a temporary chairman. He had to do it. There was no one else in au¬ thority to “start things.” Had he known that this innocent action was to give the excuse of “precedent” to the national committee’s “steam roller 1 ' fifty-six years later, Mr. Morgan might have dodged the duty. All through this first convention the creation of these precedents—steps then honorable and necessary to fulfilling the will of the delegates—throws curious light upon the usurpation of power by a later national committee to defeat the will of the delegates. It was necessary then, for instance, to appoint a national committee to take charge of the next convention; but not one of the earnest and conscientious pioneers could .possibly forsee that this “hold over” title to office would be employed to force upon the convention of 1912 an unrepresentative majority. There were real problems, too, for the credentials committee of 1856, but they were honest¬ ly settled. The basis of representation was three times the electoral vote of a state, but al¬ most all the northern states sent far more than their legal number of delegates. New York sent 96 men to the convention; Pennsylvania, 81 and Ohio, 69. Altogether there were 565 dele¬ gates present. Moved by the common determination to establish a new party that should stand free of the “cross lines” that divided the old parties, the delegates solved the difficulties of represen¬ tation, of rules, and of platform. They united in giving the country a ringing declaration of principles, no plank in which was evasive or reactionary. In the same spirit they proceeded to the nomination of their first presidential ticket. On the informal or “nominating ballot,” John C. Fremont, of California, received 359 votes; John McLean, of Ohio, 190 votes; Charles Sumner, of Massachusetts, 2 votes; Nathaniel P. Banks, of Massachusetts, 1 vote, and William H. Seward, of New York, 1 vote. On the first formal ballot Fremont received all but 38 votes, and his nomination was enthusiastically made unani¬ mous. For vice president practically all the leaders in the convention were given complimentary votes. William L. Dayton of New Jersey stood highest on the informal ballot, with 253 votes Abraham Lincoln of Illinois was next with. 110. For “harmony and union” Illinois withdrew the name of her “cherished favorite” and Dayton was unanimously nominated. The ticket here named received a jubilant welcome all over the country. The “new oarty” which it headed was rejected by old line leaders like Rufus Choate, who held a social and polit¬ ical position exactly like that of Elihu Root, today. But its appeal went straight to the people. And when the votes were counted on November 1, it was found that this political fledgling had utterly destroyed one “old party” and allowed the election of the Democratic nominee only on a minority of the popular vote. The “new party” justified itself in the first test. Page Five NORTH AVENUE STATE BANK NORTH AVE.

Page Tzventy-six Progressive Party Text of Gall for National Progressive Convention Chicago, August 5, 1912 To the people of the United States, without regard to past differences, who, through re¬ peated betrayals, realize that today the power of the crooked political bosses and of the privi¬ leged classes behind them is so strong in the two old party organizations that no helpful movement in the real interests of our country can come out of either; Who believe that the time has come for a national progressive movement—a nationwide movement—on non-sectional lines, so that the people may be served in sincerity and truth by an organization unfettered by obligation to conflicting interests; Who believe in the right and capacity of the people to rule themselves, and effectively to control all the agencies of their government, and who hold that only through social and indus¬ trial justice, thus secured, can honest property find permanent protection; Who believe that government by the few tends to become, and has in fact become, gov¬ ernment by the sordid influences that control the few; Who believe that only through the movement proposed can we obtain in the nation and the several states the legislation demanded by the modern industrial evolution; legislature which shall favor honest business and yet control the great agencies of modern business so as to insure their being used in the interest of the whole people; legislation which shall pro¬ mote prosperity and at the same time secure the better and more equitable diffusion of pros¬ perity; legislation which shall promote economic well being of the honest farmer, wageworker, professional man and business man alike, but which shall at the same time strike in efficient fashion—and not pretend to strike—at the roots of privilege in the world of industry no less than in the world of politics; Who believe that only this type of wise industrial evolution will avert industrial revolu¬ tion; Who believe that wholesome party government can come only if there is wholesome party management in a spirit of service to the whole country, and who hold that the com¬ mandment delivered at Sinai, “Thou Shalt Not Steal” applies to politics as well as to business; To all in accord with these views a call is hereby issued by the provisional committee under the resolution of the mass meeting held in Chicago on June 22nd last, to send each state a number of delegates, whose votes in the convention shall count for as many votes as the state shall have senators and representatives in congress, to meet in convention at Chicago on the 5th day of August, 1912, for the purpose of nominating candidates to be supported for the positions of president and vice-president of the United States.

In five states in 1892 the electoral vote was divided: California gave 8 electoral votes for Cleveland and 1 for Harrison and Ohio gave 1 for Cleveland and 22 for Harrison; in Michigan, by the act of the legislature, each congressional district voted separately for an elector; in Oregon 1 of the 4 candidates for electors on the peoples’ party ticket was also on the democratic ticket; in North Dakota 1 of the 2 people’s party electors cast his vote for Cleveland, this causing the electoral vote of the state to be equally divided among Cleveland, Harrison and Weaver. In 1896 California gave 8 electoral votes to McKinley and 1 to Bryan; Kentucky gave 12 to McKin¬ ley and 1 to Bryan. In Maryland, in 1904, 7 of the presidential electors chosen were dem¬ ocrats and 1 republican. In Maryland, in 1908, the electoral vote was split, the demo¬ crats getting 6 and the republicans 1, but the highest republican elector received 605 votes more than the highest democratic elector.
