Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. -. Praise of
Abraham Lincoln's ability as an orator
was sounded yesterday by William
Jennings Bryan, one of the principal
speakers at the centenary exercises
here. Mr.. Bryan paid high tribute to
the martyred president.
'Lincoln's fame as a statesman and
as the nations chief executive in its
most crucial period has SO overshad
owed his fame as an orator that his
merits as public speaker have not
been sufficiently emphasized" said Mr.
Bryan. when it is remembered that
his nomination was directly due to the
prominence which he won upon the
stump; that in the most remarkable
series of debates known to history he
held his own against one of the most
brilliant orators America has pro
duced; and that to his speeches, more
than to the arguments of any Other
one man, or in fact, of all other public
men combined, was due the success O
his party-when all these facts ar,
borne in mind, it will appear plain
even to the casual observer, that TOT
little attention has been given to tn,
