in THE ONLY REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER IN CHICAGO BE JUST AND FEAR NO VOLTJ3IE XL. 87. CHICAGO, MONDAY MORNING, JUNIj 19, 1911. PRICE ONE CENT Republican Policies, as Emancipator Established Them, Including Protective Tariff, to Be Through Illinois Will Seek Party Control. FIXED PRINCIPLES ITS BATTLE CRY Platform Declares tor Strong Tarllf, RespoasIMe Represent stive Geverameat and MaJav-.

Iciancc of Its Cm ordinate Braacbca Body Incorporate. BY CHARLES H. WHERLEB, Behind the Incorporation at Springfield of the "Lincoln Protective League of Illlnol" there la disclosed a movement designated to organise alt Republicans who will subscribe, to th general platform tor the purpose of giving battle to alt forms of Insurgency that have sprung up in Illinois of late. The specific aim of tbe new moYement. tt was learned yesterday, is to capture control of the Republican organisation of Illinois on tbe basis of the historic principles of the party, as opposed to the so-called socialistic and paternalistic propaganda that have all but smashed the Lincoln party in these parte.

is proposed, according to the organisers of the new movement, to perfect an organ-lratton that can live and flourish under the new political conditions, wrought by the alolitton of ccBveallons and the enactment of civil service laws, by substituting fixed principles for patronage. It is now proposed the leaders said yes-teiday. to up a new party- organisation in Illinois that nd 'via battles aolely on the merits of its platform utterances. Principles These principles, as set forth lt the platform pronouncement, and which will be scattered broadcast over Illinois in pamphlet form, are: 1. A strong protective tariff policy.

2. representative government. 2. MaJneeaaaee of the three co-ordinate ''ranches of the gorwnBtent- In formulating this-declaration or principles the founders of the; movement' insist that they are merely endeavoring to resus-eltate the historic Republican principles as they were laid down by Lincoln, and as they were preserved np to the time the "hysteria of Insurgency" lately threatened the system of government founded by the father. In assuming; this attitude the prime movers tn this crusade meet the Insurgent Issue Squarely and oppose tt with the principles for which the party stood for nearly fifty years before the "aage brush" Idea of statecraft burst upon tbe scene.

Staaa Cor Protection. There is to be no hypocrisy, no sham and ao pretense In this fight, say the leaders. They will stand for tbe protective tarttt policy without offering any apologies or any excuses for It. And on this issue they will appeal to the voters of Illinois. Jf they lose, then that ends It.

and the party for the time being, as they view the situation, is wrecked and smashed on the rocks of "hypocritical demagogy." The fact that such aa organization has been Incorporated at Springfield some time since attracted little or-no attention at tbe time. Activities of the promoters, however, which have extended quietly into all sections of the state, brought prominently to the notice of many leaders down atate the past wees; the magnitude, of the undertaking and'the very Important effect It is likely to have on the reorganisation of the Republican party in this state. Will Be Fla-at let Death. As they look at the situation tt Is to be a fight to ihe death on the straight out Issue as to whether tbe Republican party as It has stood for half a century, for fixed principles of government, shall be sustained in this crisis, or. whether the "new order of things" shall brush aside this system of self-government and substitute In Its place chaos, disorder, irresponsibility and instability, The fight, it waa stated yesterday by the leaders in the movement, will be carried Into every in Illinois In the April primaries, and will be identified with the noml-nstion of candidates for state and local officers.

June 18. As the remains of the' battleship Main gradually rise like a grim gray ghost above the slowly lowering level of tb turbid waters within the cofferdam, the first discoveries are most Interesting. A curious relic of the great disaster ha been found. The explorers last night and this morning recovered plate and ether china-war In the officer' quarters.

AH were In a good state of preservation and were found piled up aa they bad been left by the stewards after the last dinner. The searchers found on the par deck this afternoon, adjacent to the port turret, a mall ammunition box, such a 1 customarily distributed about the This contained an agglomerated mass of atx-mllli-meter cartridge clip for the naval service rifle, and a number of short knife bayonets In metallic leather covered scabbard. The clip of cartridges were well i preserved, but the steel bayonets were rednced to almoat unidentifiable masse of rusaround which were clinging shred ef leather Backing. Th disintegration of the bayonets Is believed to have the result of galvanic action between the ateel aad the brass cartridge case In the medium of aea water. This gives rise to speculation regarding the effect of galvanic action on portions of the hull still under water, on which depends greatly the possibility that the hull may net retain utn-clent strength to warrant the expectation of floating out any portion.
