Shade Of Abraham Lincoini
This IS the price thar Springfield
Vas paid for INDUCING in the disgrace
OF mob law under the very shadow
OF the capitol and " The monument
raised 10 the memory o. Abraham Lin
coin. or the barharlsm that held pos
session OF ihe city Friday night, Satur
day and SaturdsT night. Governor De
neen says: 1T Il as lntolerable as II
is inexcusable. The Idea OF wreaking
vengeance upon n race for the crimes
or one OF Its members Is utterly repug-
nant 10 all notions OF law and justice.
No government can maintain IFS self
respect and permit II. Our state will
not permit H. The entire resources OF
the state will be drawn upon. II neces-
sary, 20 protect every citizen or Spring
field In his person and property, and
those who violate the law must suffer
the consequences"
