KAYSVILLE Farm crops In some sections of this state are reported to have been damaged by the frost which covered a large portion of northern Utah recently, according to information received In Salt Lake. Reports received from parts of Davis county indicated that the tomato plants had been damaged to some extent, while Information was also received that some fruit in the south of Salt Lake county had been Injured. PROVO Frosts, which struck this section and Utah county, following a slight snowstorm recently, have done sonslderable damage to the fruit crops of the section, according to reports coming Into the Utah county agent's office. The strawberry and tomato crops in the county were quite severely nipped, and it Is estimated of the crops that practically will be killed. Beans and other early crops also suffered quite extensively. PLEASANT GROVE Utahs strawberry crop this year covers 1300 acres, or about 100 acres less than were harvested last year, the annual strawberry crop report, released by Frank Andrews, statistician of the United States department of agriculture, shows. If the yield per acre this year is the aame as the average for the past few years, 1929 production will amount to 2,340,000 quarts, compared with 2,800,000 quarts in 1928 and in 1927, the reports says.

"In this achoolhoiie March Lit, IK54, was held the Drat mass meeting In this country that definitely and poaitively rut loose from old parties nnd advocated a new party under the name Republican." In celebration of that event there was held on the rnmpus of Rlpon col loco, centering about that historic achoolhouso, recently, a pan-cat depleting the growth of the Ropuhlicnn party nnd a celebration of the diamond Jubilee of the party. The prlnelpul speakers at this event were Juntos V. Good, secretary of war In I "resident Hoover's cabinet, and Walter J. Kohler, Republican governor of Wisconsin. Residents of Jackson, Mich., In support of their clulin to the honor, will take you to a group of oaks standing at Second and Franklin streets and tell you that here the Republican party was born on July 6, 1854, when the mime Republican was adopted by a convention of state delegates. Whether the Republican party was born on March 20, or July 6, 1854, and whether Its birthplace was Rlpon, WIs., or Jackson. Mich., Is relatively unlaiportnnt, compnred to the event Itself, the critical era In our history during which It took place and the slgnfl-can- t aftermath of that event. The Republican party whs born at a time when the dispute over slavery was Ht Its height. It grew out of the growing opposition to feta very as an Institution especially In the states which had been formed from the old Northwest territory. In accordance with the famous ordinance of 17S7 the Northwest territory was to have no sluvery within Its boundaries after the year 1800. The ordinance gave to the owners of fugitive slavbs the right to recover them even after the runaways Imd escaped , beyond the Ohio, but ns a matter of fact the "undergrounds railroads" which aided escaping slaves to their freedom were active throughout this territory. The northern part of the territory was once known as Mlchlgnn and Included the present stntes of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and a part of Dakota. Wisconsin became a state In 1S4S and from its beginning ns a commonwealth was dominated by ardent foes of slavery. Two years after Wisconsin became a state there enme to the town of Rlpon from New York a man who was to give Rlpon Its claim to the title of "birthplace of the Republican party." He was A Ivan Earle Rovay, born In Jefferson county, New York, July 12, 1818, and a lawyer by profession. Bovay soon became a leading citizen in the little hamlet of Rlpon and his best friend was Jedediah Bowen, the principal merchant of the place. There were only about a hundred voters In Rlpon at the time but they had a wide choice of parties for It was at a time In American history when the lines which separated the traditional Whigs and Democrats were breaking down and new parties were constantly being formed. Bovay himself was a Whig and an eloquent and ardent one. He was not so partisan however bnt that he recognized his party was likely to crumble at any time from the discordant factors within it. The dispute over slavery was becoming more acute all the time. The gieot leaders who had sought some way of reconciling the differences between the North and the South over the slavery question were In their graves and the threat of disunion and possible civil war was already looming over the horizon. It seeuis that In 1852 Bovay sugested that a strong antislavery prrty be formed to be called the Republican party. He broached the subject while on a visit to New York city to Horace Greeley, the famous editor of the New York Tribune. But nothing came of the suggestion at that time. Two years later matters reached a crisis when on January 23 the famous Kansas-Nebrask- a bill was Intmduced Into congress. Kansas and Nebraska were to be admitted as territories with power to do as they pleased about slavery, despite the facr that He Missouri Compromise of 1820 had fcrbldd.'D slaves In any states or territories north n &i HrfYvr cty&VA CArjrcrJ--irou- r- of the line 3d degrees 30 minute. In Its final form the bill de I a red the Missouri Compromise, lnoeratlve and void" because It was "Inconsistent with l!)e principle of nonintervention by congress with slavery In the state and territories a recognized by the legislation of I850." When the Kansaa Nebnieka bill was Introduced, Box ay wrote to Greeley as follows: "Your paper Is now a ower In the land. Advocate railing to-gher In every ehoollioue and church In the free slate nil Ihe opponent of the Kaiisaa-Ne-rutkbills, no n alter what their party afflllution. I'rge them lo forget previous organization and to ! bound logcihi-- r under ihe name suggested to you at J.oe Joy's hotel m 1852. I mean ihe name of Republican. It Is ihe only one which will serve all purpose, past and future Ihe only one that will live and lust." During February of that year Rovny culled again nnd again lo foes of shivery lo rully under Ihe banner of a new parly. Lute In Hie month he gathered together In Ihe Congregational church at RIon a group of those who believed as lie did. On March 20, a mass meet lug was culled in district aclioolliouse 2. a small white frame building. Of the hundred or so voters In Rlpon, Itovay was iihle to get to III meeting. They were a varied lot so fur a political atlillatlon was concerned Whigs, Democrats and To them Bovay offered Ills resolution that a new party to lie railed Repuhlienn be organized at once, bused on the opposition to slavery. As a result. Ids suggestion was adopted and the town committees appointed by Hie Free-Soi- l and Whig parties were dissolved. A committee on organization was appointed, consisting of three Whigs, one r and one Democrat. They were Bovay, his friend Jededluh Bowen, Amos Lopcr, A. Tlionms, nnd J. Woodruff. Considering the slow process which usually represents the evolullon of a political party, the growth of the Republican party was swift Under the leadership of Stephen A. Douglas, who was ambitions to be the Democratic Presidential nominee In 1S50, the Kansas-Nebraskbill was passed In May, 1S54. Immediately fierce opposition flamed up In the North nnd during the summer It continued to burn. It Is t this point that the claim of Jackson, Mich., to being the Republican cradle conies to the front On July 6, 1S54, there was held in an oak grove on the outskirts of Jack-soa state-wid- e representative mass meeting, acting as a state convention, assembled In response to a enll signed by several thousand citizens of of all who were Mlchlgnn Inviting the opposed to the extension of sluvery. The chnirnmn of the committee of resolution, Jacob M. Howard, wrote and supported a platform of considerable length which was unanimously adopted. R denounced slavery as a relic of barbarism, a great moral, social und political evil" and declared that It was the purpose of the fathers of the Republic to prevent the spread of slavery. It also asserted that It was now the duty of congress to carry out this purpose by restoring the restriction on slavery luid down In the Missouri Compromise. The delegates also resolved that postponing and suspending all differences In regard to political economy or administrative and be known as Repolicy, we will publicans until after the contest be determined. They also earnestly recommended that there be called a "general convention of the free states and g such of tbe states as may desire to be represented, with a view to the adoption of other more extended and effectual measures In resistance to the encroachments of slavery." The name Republican was also used later In a Wisconsin convention as well as at state gatherings In the East, held In New York, Massachusetts, Vermont and Maine. The new gained strength during the next two years as It drew to Its standard various elements from other parties. The Whigs had suffered a defeat in 1852 which had demoralized them and had practically shattered that party. Then. also, there had risen the American party or the Afi American party, commonly known as the Know Nothings because of the reply they made when asked about details of their organization and supposedly secret ritual. This strange body, founded on racial and religious prejudices, had succeeded In electing governors In several states and had sent nearly a hundred representatives to the bouse of representatives. The Know Nothings were a conglomeration. Some of them favored the extension of slavery, while others opposed. There were also the Free Signers committed to the abolition of slavery by political means. The Free Soil party had been connected with the Liberty party, wbicb bad much flfty-llire- e Frec-Soller- Free-Selle- a n sluve-holdin- pn-r.t- Ihe same view, and al-- o It bad taken over a faction of the New York liemncrats, called tbe Barnburner. bemuse their extreme view were compared to the ollry of a man who burned down hi barn to get rid of the rat. The Free Sollers flung wl.Je their motto, "Free Soil. Free Speech. Fri-- e laibor and Freemen." To the growing new party of the Republican came tunny kind of pollilml f.iltli who had th common lind of opiirioti to sluvery all or Kuhnum" n eti. Some bad been Whig, some Democrats. other bad turmd from such short-liveorganization as the Free Sollers and the Know Nothing. An Informal convention, which might better tie culled an organizing committee, wn held In Pittdiurgh early In lS5d, at which the name Republican na the title of a national party was firmly fixed. Among those present at this convention were Horace Greeley and Abraham Lincoln. The enmpuign of 185(1, the first one In which Hie Republican party officially participated and. Incidentally, suffered Its first defeat.

Indeed, after angry debate, most of the antlslavery delegate withdrew, leaving the southern wing In control. With a platform that attempted to divert attention from the slavery question by crying up the foreign peril, the party went Into the rampalgn with Fillmore and Donalson as Its candidates. The Democrats tried hard to present an appearance of harmony. Since the doctrine of popular sovereignty waa to be their major plank. It was expected that either the Little Giant," or Pierce would be the nominee. But the North ao opposed the proceedings In Kansas that the lenders were passed over by a man less closely connected with recent domestic events. As minister to England James Buchanan had been abroad during the most trying times. His availability was enhanced because his name was linked with that aggresaive foreign policy which had been employed to distract the country from Internal troublea. Acceptable to the South, he could be supported also by the conservative elements of the North. The Whig party, practically defunct, contented Itself with indorsing the candidates of the American party. There was thus need for a party which .would stand against the Democrats and the extension of slavery. This need was fitted by the Republican party which had grown with surprising rapidity since 1SS4. To It had thronged a miscellany of malcontents, a fact of which Its rivals made the most. In spite of Its heterogeneity, the party showed remarkable solidarity. Assembling In Philadelphia on the anniversary of Bunker Hill, the delegates, passing over the more prom--Ineleaders such as Chase of Ohio, and Seward of New York selected John J Fremont of California, a young man little known in politics, but with a record as an explorer of the Far West. The platform vigorously denounced the proslavery and jingoistic activity of recent yeara. The Republicans launched a campaign that in vigor and spectacle resembled that of 1840. With "Bleeding Kansas" as their cry, they appealed, through the agency of newspaper editors, such as Horace Greeley, of the New York Tribune. James Gordon Bennett, of the New York Herald, Henry J. Raymond, of the New York Times, and Gen. J Watson Webb, of the Courier end Enquirer of New York, to the Northerners' dread lest the Buchan-eers- " expand their domain of slavery. The opposition played upon the widespread dislike for the Abolitionists as a means of discrediting the Republicans. The eccentric personalities of the reformers, their extravagant acts and still more extravagant words were a heavy burden for the new party to carry. As the campaign developed It appeared that the Republicans were too sectional in their appeal and not sufficiently organized to carry the country. Buchanan gained many adherents who had become alarmed by the apparent radicalism of the Fremont followers Fillmore took occasion to announce that Fremonts election would endanger the Cuion. In the South, it need hardly be said "black Republicanism" was identified by many with all the isms in the dictionary. The contest was rather close.
