or Douglas, nor whether | was a DEM
ocrat or a Republican. l wasn't
moren nineteen at the time, and we'd

see my folks. I'll pay expenses So,
l says, all right and mp we went to
Salem and called on the old folks.
THE old man was great Lincoln

Salem, and the next day he said,
There amt much going on here to-
day, boys, but it's election day in New

wouldn't have nothing but that he
would get a lot of new toys for me,
and when | came out of the store |
was rugged out from boots to a fine
new beaver hat.
1--WE walked around awhile taking
in the sights. Buses and cabs and
wagons of all kinds were running up
and down Broadway filled with men
and covered with great big canvas
signs, some reading Vote for Honest
Abe and others Vote for the Little
| Giant Well, it seemed that these
buses and wagons were taking the
men to the polls to vote for their can
didates, and while we were standing
there on Broadway LOOKING at the eX-
cited people, a man who was stand

It would be a good chance to see the
city and that we would all go; so the
man says, Yes, everybody come and
vote for Ola Abe
I'VE got in the bus and rode quite
a ways and then got out at a place
where there were a lot of people with
white slips of paper, and the man told
us to wait a minute, and pretty soon
another fellow comes up and gives
each of us a slip of paper and said
. That's your ball" with your name
