WHAT LINCOLN DID.


One more note of my fathers I
own handwriting. made when writing
had become well-nigh impossible for
him. of what Lincoln, his dearest
friend and greatest hero, achieved
and died for:
Turned his defeat for the senate
into. q; success for the presidency.
Took into the cabinet his rivals,
and made them his ministers. and
servants.
Conquered the rebellion.
Liberated the slaves.
Outwitted all the intrigues against
him in cabinet and camp.
Gave his implacable rival the chief
~justiceship.
Disarmed all criticism by shoulder
ing all faults.
Consolidated his party and increased
his majorities.
Held the people to their great task.
Made the strongest argument for
peace and the best defense Of war.
Gave in his Springfield prayer. his
Gettysburg address and his second
inaugural the most pathetic and elo-
quent %utterances Of his time.
Forcible in speech and faultless in
logic. he enriched the language with
new thoughts. new definitions. new
maxims. new parallels and new pro-
verbs.
Was a true type and exampler of
his country. his ace and his m
ment.
Wore honor without pride, and
welded power without oppression.
Lived like a peasant by necessity Of
birth and fortune, reigned like u
monarch by right representative in
stints native intellect, the wisdom Of
humility and love OF his fellow men.
Died q martyr. and was wept by
the civilized world.

TALCOTT SURPRISED
At O|xOMS REMARKS

IF Senator Dixon of Montana was
correctly quoted at the BANQUET siyen
at the Gardner hotel Saturday night.
when he was credited with saying that
ne did not know the men in North
Dakota who were backing Roosevelt's
candidacy for the republican nomina.
ton IN March. because he was rot
then In active charge Of Mr.. Roose-
veits campaign. I am greatly sur
prised inasmuch as chairman Of the
republican state central COMMITTEES at
mat time I was very familiar with
every step Of the primary campaign in
this state and through John Bass was
IN daily touch with Senator Dixon ali
the while" said Senator Frank s. Tai
colt Of Buffalo on his arrival in Far
go yesterday. -.
The statement accredited to Sena.
tor Dixon was indeed most surprising"
he continued. When the Campaign
first began he sent out Frank Knox Of
Michigan to become familiar with the
North Dakota situation SO that he
could report the local needs to Sena-
tor Dixon himself. 1t was on the lat
ter's advice that John Bass was sent
to Fargo to conduct the Roosevelt
primary campaign.
"Mr. Bass asked me to assist him,
which I consented to do and through
out the campaign I was constantly
with him. We were In daily cOmmun.
ication with Mr.. Dixon at Washington
80 that he could not help but have
been adviced almost hourly Of the
progress of the Roosevelt campaign in
North Dakota.
"And during the time between Mr..
Knox departure and the arrival Of Mr..
Bass I was in direct communication
with Senator Dixon myself. concerning
some of the speakers selected to ap-
pear in the state and also
ing the ~advisability Of the routes OF
clifford Pinchot. James r. GARFIELD,
Henry Allen and others.
This statement accredited to Sena.
tor Dixon that there wal some mis-
understanding regarding Mr.. Roose-
velt's backing in North Dakota last
March because he himself had not
then taken active charge has indeed
caused no little wonder in my mind"
In expressing himself Mr.. Talcott
concluded with a smile as he said:
These facts are so we'll known by
everyone interested in Mr.. Roosevelt's
primary campaign. that q statement
seems hardly necessary. as they are a
matter Of public knowledge"
