Of the Jan. 24 issue you administer "a shocked reproof" to them for mistaking the anniversary the Jackson Day dinners celebrate. And on page 12 of the same issue these same recidivists say "Lincoln has never had his birthday celebrated, like Jackson Day, with $100-a-plate dinners...
...triumph in itself, since in four and a half years of existence it had been generally ridiculed or ignored by the Administration. Yet its hand-picked membership includes many a New Deal friend, including Glassman John D. Biggers, Camelman S. Clay Williams, Investment Banker Sidney J. Weinberg, Merchant Lincoln Filene, Mail Order Man Robert E. Wood. Only member absent last week was Shipman Kermit Roosevelt, son of the President's fifth cousin...
Franklin Delano Roosevelt's birthday is the occasion for more organized whoopee than Washington's or Lincoln's. The first Roosevelt Birthday Balls in 1934 netted $1,003,000, the next $803,000, the last two together $353,000.

...spite of the fact that Abraham Lincoln by his Emancipation Proclamation deprived more people of property without due process than any President in U. S. history, he is the spiritual Andrew Jackson of the G. O. P. As a political saint, however, Lincoln has never had his birthday celebrated, like Jackson Day, with $100-a-plate dinners.
