The Republican Club in Portland, Oregon, held a banquet in honor of Abraham Lincoln at the Commercial Club. At the club, various speeches were given. Dr. Andrew C. Smith warned about the lack of military protection on the West Coast and the danger of invasion from Japan. Judge William W. Cotton spoke in favor of President William H. Taft and criticized Theodore Roosevelt. He believes that current leaders are ignoring the tenets of the Constitution in a way that is just as bad as the South’s secession before the Civil War. Other speeches about Lincoln were also given.
