LINCOLN WAS
DARK HORSE IN
GREAT CONVENTION
Famous Republican Conven-
ti0n of 1860 May Have
Repetition This Year
(By Associatd Press)

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE conven,
ing of the Republicans in Chicago
June to nominate candidate for
President recalls afresh at this time
the Republican convention opening
mere 60 years ago~which nominated
Abraham Lincoln. 'This was the Sec
ond national Republican convention
and the first of manv which have
since been held in Chicago.
The convention assembled on May
16, 1860, and Lincoln was nominal
ed on May 10, the third and last day.
After his election feeling aroused by
the slavery issue ran quickly into civ
Il war.
4 Relics of the campaign of 1860, in
cludin~ the oil paintino Of the "rall
splitter, are preserved by the CHI
.ago Historical Society. f.. +.
Wood, field secretary of the society
has just pre~ared what he regards
as the most complete account of the
events of the convention of 60 ears
ago. In t-..s he calls attention to
Addison G. Proctor, of Ann Arbor,
Mich, who, Mr.. Wood believes, is
the only surviving delegate of the
convention.
Chicago in 1860 was nromising
city of 10000 not quite 25 years old.
It had won the convention by the of
fer to build the largest assembly hall
in the country and fill it at everv ses-
sion. Accordingly the "Wigwam"
arose at the southwest corner of
Lake and Market streets, occupying
asspace 100 by 1870 feet. 1t was a
temporary wooden structure costing
a little over the estimated $5,000.. The
balance was made up bv charging rs

Home Store
Service
No. 7

In buying from a store in this
place a person gets the personal
service of men of unusual
ability. 1t takes brains to run a
retail store. A lot of people are
always trying it and failing. The
merchant must be good organ
sizer, have a grasp of system and
detail, must have sound practi-
cal Judgment and general intel
ligence.
When man has made good
on these tests, he must have good
sense and ability. He places all
that at the command of the COM
munity, and goes the limit to
give the best service in his
power. The majority of success
full merchants have ability
enough to make good in positions
that would command more
money, but thew prefer their own
independent rosition. When you
buy of them, therefore, you get
the personal attention of men of
intelligence and capacity. which
is great help in Getting the
most for ones money.
