Gov. Johnson of Minnesota is loom
ing up strong as candidate on the
democratic ticket, for the presidency
of the United States to succeed Theo-
dore Roosevelt. Gov. Johnson has
the endorsement of Henry Watterson
who speaks of him in glowing terms
and believes him TO be the most avail
able man in the party. Should he re-
ceive good word from W. J. Bryan,
it is predicted that his nomination
would be assured without much op
position.

Lincoln.D Douglas Debate Fifty Years After.

Chicago Journal: FOrty-niDe years
ago the whole country was absorbing
ly interested in the debate that was
going on between Abraham Lincoln
and Stephen A. Douglas. Lincoln was
an ex-representative in congress prac.
ticing law in Springfield, ILL.,, and
Judge Douglas was United States SEN
ator from this state, whose seat Lin
coin was trying to take. The debate
ended with Douglas reelection. at
the cost of the friendship of southern
democrats and the consequent
weakening OF his position, and two
years later made Lincoln president of
the United States.
No political debate that has ever
taken place in this country was so
widely interesting or so momentous
in its effects as this, and the Illinois
Historical society therefore does we'll
TO be preparing for a semicentennial
celebration next year in the towns
where the Little Giant and the
Railsplitter' had their meetings.
This celebration will commemorate
one of the greatest intellectual battles
ever fought by man, and at the same
time will reawaken interest in the
personalities OF Lincoln and Douglas
and in the events that led up to the
election of Lincoln, the civil war,
and the dreadful tragedy that marked
its close.
In the light of history, Lincoln
stands as one of the greatest men the
world has ever known, alongside Of
such heroes as Alexander the Great.
Julius Caesar, Oliver Cromwell,
Washington. and Napoleon; and Illi-
nois is right to be proud of him.
Though many able men have been
produced on this continent, only one
shares his position of greatness, and
the names of Washington and Lincoln
will go down to posterity linked to.
gether as those of the two pre.eminent
citizens of the United States. The
passing of time has reduced Judge
Douglas apparent size very greatly.
but still he was "a strong man and a
true patriot, and he is worthy to be
remembered in connection with Lin
coin, for without the debate between
the two the course of history might
and doubtless would have been much
changed.
The Hinois Historical society is
doing public service in arranging
for next years celebration. A renew
al Of Lincoln's pure and patriotic per-
sonality in the minds of the people is
badly needed in the present state of
American politics, and it will un.
questionably do great good to COM
memorate the Lincoln. Douglas debate.

The state fair is asking for reduced
