Old Friend Of Lincoln

The men who personally knew Abra-
nam Lincoln become fewer each year.
but there Is none who during the time
in which the martyred president rose
to prominence saw more Of him than
J. G. Stewart, veteran photographer
Of Bloomington, Ill. In 1857 Mr.. Stew
art was in business In Springfield. He
recalls many interesting events in the
career Of Lincoln and says when he
first knew the "railsplitter" that Mr..
Lincoln exhibited negligence as to
dress. The future president usually
went about with one trousers leg
caught on the top Of one Of his high
boots. Mr.. Stewart belonged to the
Fremont party and following its de-
feat signed a call to organize the Re-
publican party in Springfield. Among
the names signed were those Of A. Lin
coin and Shelby NJ. Cullom. The first
meeting was held in Mr.. Stewards gal
lery. The organization was called the
Lincoln club. During the presidential
campaign in which Lincoln was the
nominee for president Mr.. Stewart
made over $4,000 pictures of Lincoln.
