Presidential Candidates

No native born American denied the
right of aspiring the presidency. Men have risen
to that height from the lowest unpromising
conditions None could have been lowlier than
Lincoln. the greatest of presidents, Andrew
Johnson who though president intended
by the people to be. But American birth is the
only qualification for the presidency; other quafi-
cations may develop later they did in
Lincoln. Still there many Americans

ton is necessary beyond that of birth.
Now here James w. who wants

Germany when the broke he failed to
keep out of it. He a book about it, adding
something to the superfuous literature already
had on that subject. The only other claim
Gerard is that he associated himself by marriage
with the family of a noted millionaire mining man
and race horse owner. We think that Mr..

horses of his father-in-law's stables, they were
some fast ones, if he expects to within the
