How - Abe" Pulled Fodder.

business, and the Integrity Of the subject
of this sketch
1t Is well known that he lived in Spen

/ young days. He was hard working

knowledge. y man named Crawford

Lincoln felt very badly, but like an hon

liability for Its destruction, and his will
lngness to make due compensation. He
SAID he had 40 money, but would work
out the value of the book
The owner of the book said 20 him.
"Wcll, Ace, being as it's you / won't be
hard on You. If you will come over and

( Abe went over accordingly, and pulled
fodder the requisite time, aud SO tall md
handy lad was he that Crawford rcauir.
ed him to pull the fodder off the tallest
stalks, while he took the shortest ones
himself
This story is told with much gusto by
one OF our prominent citizens who nsed
to know Abe Lincoln in his younger days
IN Spencer county, and who now-sincc
the once humble lad has become the
choice of great party for the highest
office in the world--regards him with
strong affection and supports him with

More Administration COrruptions.

The Covode investigation is unplcaS-
ant business, but very useful to t e
country. The committee has smoked
out another important fraud in the mail

made proposals to carry the mails be.
tween New York. New Orleans and San
Frar cisco, for Sis, 200; David II.
johnson offered to do the service for
Sl62 900, and obtained the contract but
two days before the service was to have
commenced johnson notified the Post
master General that he could not fulfill
his contract. Barney then stood the
lowest bidder, but instead of giving him
the contract, the govern ment gave it to
Vanderbilt for 1902 800, an excess of
$4,000 over Barneys price The law
requires that contracts shall be given to
the lowest bidder: in this case it was
given to the highest bidder. 1t appears,
also. that Johnson's bid was bogus, from
the start, and was only introduced as a
means Of making the transfer to Wander.
bilt. johnson received $50, 900 for act,
ing his part. The reason for this heavy
fruad upon the treasury was that the Ad.
ministration wanted Nandcrblt's inhu.

it in this way How affective these rev.

Hannibal Hamlin.

Hannibal Iiamlin, who was nominated
by the Republican Convention at Chica.
90, was born iu Paris, Oxford county,
Maine, in August, 1909, and is now in
the 5lst year of his age lie is by pro.
tcssion lawyer, but for the last twenty
four years has been, for much Of the
time, in political life. From 1896 to
1910 he was member Of the Legislature
of Maine, and for three Of those years he
was the Speaker of its House Of Repre-.
sentatives. L. 1913 he was elected a
member of Congress, and re elected for
the following term. In 1917 he was
again a member of the State Legislature,
and the next year was chosen to fill a va
cancy, occasioned by the death Of John
Fairfield, in the United States Senate for
six years, which Office he accepted, re-
signing the Goyeruorship. This record
is an evidence of the confidence with
which he has always been regarded BY
his fellow citizens in Maine.
Up to the time Of the passage of the
Kansas Nebraska bill in 1854, Mr.. Ham
lin was member of the Democratic
party. That act he regarded as a proof
that the party, with which lie had been
all his life connected, no longer deserved
the name Of Democrat, and was treach-
erous to the principles he had so long
cherished. Thenceforward he gave his
support to the Republican party, of
which he has ever since continued a
faithful and distinguished leader.
Mr. Hamlin is a man Of diguifed pres
cnce of solid abilities, of upfnchins in
tegrlty, and great executive talent Fa-
mlliar with the business of legislation, he
is peculiarly adapted by the possession
of all these qualities, to fiji benefcially
for the country, and to his own and his
party's honor, the high post for which
he has been nominated. The name of
Hannibal Hamlin of Maine is fit sec
ond to that of Abraham Lincoln % Hi
