that all republicans in the audience

that the democrats take a like step in
writing to Senator J. Hamilton Lewis.

still abundant in this land. he asserted.

rather than of the past, he declared.
1t is not so much flag of our

way he expressed the thought. 1T

protection by the state and stands for

TACT that Lincoln was student up TO

comparison with some of today who,

all. Lincoln was a son of the soil

opinion said Kessinger, comes Lin
coin, the railsplitter." He also showed
how other characters fall short when
compared with Lincoln.
