stead, as said, is an influential
man. In the days OF Abraham Lincoln,
Halstead thought that Lincon's head
ought to be chuoked against the wall and
his brains Knocked out, or something like
that. That was complimentary TO Lin
coin In 1863 Halstead thought Grant
was drunken fool who ought to be
kicked out Of society. That was compll.
mentary to Grant. After Grant was
elected president, Halstead thought he
was dirty, corrupt old scoundrel, who
I ought to be ousted by the people OF the
= country. SO in 1872 Halstead sup.
