following leading Labor M. P.s
talked briefly as follows: Grifhths
on hopes of Labor victory, Cross

Labor policy in Africa, Harold

minute summary of Labor pro-
gram by Hugh Gaitskell; social
reforms in housing, hospitals, pen
Sions, education; need for full en-
ployment; Labor's good -neighbor
policy at home and overseas.
Labor used animated cartoons
in order to illustrate such points
as wasted Conservative expendi-
ture on aircraft and the differ
enceS between the parties on old
age pension schemes. One pro-
gram included a short political
cartoon by the nationally known
Vicky. Another device which
proved effective was the use of
tributes to the Labor party by
prominent citizens whom the
viewers did not consider to be
connected with politics.
Conseryofiyes' TeIecost
The Conservatives followed a
different policy and depended
largely on filmed material which
had been prepared in advance.
Their series started off with a
discussion filmed seven weeks
earlier at Checquers, the Prime
Minister'S country home, among
five of the senior cabinet mem

A century ago two Americans
running for public Office set a
precedent for the forthcoming
TV duels between John F. Ken
nedy and Richard M. Nixon, be-
ginning tomorrow. Abraham
Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas
engaged in seven bareknuckled
debates while campaigning for
the Senate in Illinois. Television
and radio were unheard Of. No
jet planes sped them on their
campaigns. No public address
system aided their hard-pressed
voices. But their debates over
the length and breadth of IIli-
nOis in 1858 made American his
tory. The core of their dispute
the NegrO's place in a free So
ciety-persistS as a major issue
to the present day. The follow
ing article recreates the setting
of those historic face-tO-face
appearances. The date is Oc-
tOber I, 1858.

ASSOCIATED Press 6Jan writer
GALESBURG, ILL.,, Oct. 7, 1858.
Fiery Senator Stephen A. Doug
las. one Of the Nations most bril-
liant orators, and ex-CongresSman
Abraham Lincoln hurled the slav-
cry issue back and forth today be-
fore q vast rural audience.
The two opponents for Douglas
Senate seat - one short. dapper
and polished, the other towering,
unkempt and homespun-pum-
melled one another with words
without mercy.
Fraud. liar, slanderer, villainy,
monstrous. infamous-all these
terms and more were thrown
about by the candidates as more
than 10000 people listened. Even
SO. the discussions held to a high
level.
The throng braVed the crisp fall
air to come from far and near by
buggy, wagon. horseback and rail-
road. The visitors overflowed this
prairie town of 5000 in an atmos-
phere like that of a gala county
fair.
For three hours, starting at 2:30
pm, they stood or sat in the open
air on the Knox College campus,
coats tightly buttoned against the
raw northeast wind that whipped
the political banners and flags and
tore the words from the speakers
lips.
And in spite of all, they lis
tened.
They heard fluent Douglas,
showing the wear of the cam
paign, speaking slowly and enun-
ciating each word, his delivery and
gestures sure and emphatic.
A Country Lowyer
Opposing him was the rough
hewn country lawyer, his voice
sturdy, racing over some words,
then lingering to bear hard on a
word or phrase he wished to stress.
He fascinated onlookers by twist
ting his long, ungainly frame into
all manner of contortions as he
spoke.
Sometimes the speakers voices
dripped sarcasm. At times they
thundered like the brass 12-pound-
ers that doomed arrival of The
Little Giant" in his special rail-
road car. Lincoln, incidentally,
came to town in buggy parade.
At times the speaker would in
terrupt himself, turn to his op-
ponent and fire a question point
blank. Or ask in triumph: what
think you of this?"
Jibes from the crowd spiced the
occasion. Both candidates ap-
pealed for quiet so they could use
their allotted time fully.
Douglas. man of presidential
stature, has suffered from hoarse-
ness since the third debate and
has trouble making himself heard
in such large crowd.
Lincoln, on the other hand, a
virtual unknown outside Illinois
when Douglas accepted his chal-

Lincoln Debates:
In Modern Dress

lenge to this series of debates, has
gained in strength as he has gone
along-a tribute to his stumping
experience.
Douglas was nettled by charge
Lincoln made anew: that Douglas,
a onetime State Supreme Court
judge. is engaged in conspiracy
to make slavery national.
The PersonoI Element
Douglas complained bitterly Of
having to take up precious time
on such petty personal matters"
Why, he asked, did Lincoln per-
sist in repeating a charge when
its utter falSity is proven by the
public records?" Lincoln, he de-
clared, is an ignorant man.
Rejoined Lincoln: "Ain't the
judge playing the cuttle-fish?"
This, the cuttle-fsh, he said,
throws out black fluid to thwart
enemies.
Lincoln, too, complained of his
opponents tactics.
Il don't want any harsh Ian
guage INDUCED in," Lincoln said,
but do not know how to deal
with this persistent insisting on a
story that 1 know to be utterly
without truth. I have no way
OF making an argument up into
the consistency of a corncob and
stopping his mouth with it,"
Lincoln and Douglas have spoken
against each other many times,
although not in formal debate,
before these debates began under
a blazing sun at Ottawa August
81 before 10000 people.
Today, as usual, the first spoke
one hour, then the other followed
for 80 minutes and the first closed
in 80 minutes. They have al
ternated\ openings and closes.
On the wooden platform before
the calloused, weatherbeaten,
cheering farmers, they presented
a strange contrast.
Douglas, at As, the younger, is
barely five feet tall but his upper
body is impreSsively built. He has
large, round head, a massive
neck and his manner is that of a
man secure in the knowledge he
has been a Judge and Congressman
and now is a Senator, possibly
headed for the White House.
LincoIn's Appearance
Lincoln. 40, wears his clothes
like sawhorse, often twiddles his
thumbs while speaking, and trav-
else in hayrackS and crowded day
coaches-not without political
benefits.
Today's debate covered ground
they have gone over repeatedly.
The extension of slavery to terri
tories not now in the Union took
much of their attention.
AS usual, Lincolns Bible quota.
tion that~"A house divided against
itself cannot stand" to support his
belief that the Government can
not endure permanently half-slave
and half-free" furnished a target
for Douglas attack.
Our Government can endure
forever. divided into free and slave
States as our fathers made it -"
asserted Douglas.
In this debate, as in others, Lin
coin often calls Douglas THE
Judge" while Douglas frequently
refers to him simply as Lincoln"
More recent debates have been
marked, however, by Douglas
more frequent use of the word
Mister" in front of his adver-
sary's name.
Lincoln once referred to a Doug
las argument as being as thin as
the homeopathic soup that was
made by boiling the shadow of a
pigeon that had starved to death"
Hearing them, stranger might
think both were dense, in turn.
A recurring Douglas complaint:
"Mr. Lincoln cannot be made to
understand :"
A recurring Lincoln complaint:
Douglas never can be brought to
understand ;"

The following, which has ap-
peared recurrently at the height
of the prediction windy season
in recent years, is beginning to
make its appearance again. A
political address for all Occa-
sions, dripping with time
h0nOred cIiches, it is repro
duced here for the benefit of
aficiOnados Of campaign Oratory.
Distinguished guests, Rever-
end Clergy, ladies and gentle
men. my colleagues and COM
rades:
1t is an honor and a privilege
to address you on this occasion
today. First, I would like to con-
gratulate each one Of you as
sembled here on the attainment
of the objectives for which you
have worked so hard.
A very strange thing hap
pened to me tonight on my way
to this function, which reminds
me at this point of a story about
this great nation of ours. The
disturbing feature of all this is
despite all the bitter lessons
we, of course, know better.
AS that great statesman once
said, I need hardly remind this
audience without fear of sue
cessful contradiction that we
hand down to posterity as a
matter Of policy a few words
about your splendid hospitality
and this grand Republic.
We View With AIorm'
We view with alarm under our
present leadership and - some
may be surprised, for above and
beyond we begin to see the sun
break through. We are counting
on your help because, as you
so well know, money must be
forthcoming to our way of life.
AS we travel the long road
ahead down to the grass roots of
America there are those extrem-
lists whose voices cry out in
the night. In this worthy cause
we must not forsake, but rather
with wisdom recall that
there are those who say that
tomorrow may be too late.
Make no mistake: In our
overall approach no one will
dispute this fact-and it is a
sobering thought! 1t is perhaps
more than coincidence, and
honesty demands. whether we
desire it or not, that we face up

Television played an important
role for the first time in the
British general election just a
year ago-but without any cost
to the parties or the candidates.
Although one of the two net
works in Great Britain is COM
mercially owned and operated. no
purchase of TV time was permit
ted for political purposes.
Both the BIC and the Inde-
pendent Television Authority de-
voted listening hours to the cam
paign under an agreement worked
out with the major parties.
ALLEGATION of time was deter
mined mainly on the basis of the
proportion of votes the three chief
parties-Conservative. Labor and
Liberal-won in the previous elec-
ton. The government and oppo-
sition were each given an equal
amount of time.
AS British general election
covers only period Of about six
weeks before polling day, the
major prediction TV programs
were scheduled during the last
three weeks of the campaign. 1t
was agreed that the last day
before the balloting would be
clear day, free of assaults upon
the voters ears.
The three parties decided that
they would produce a total of II
TV 'broadcasts in order not to
bore the viewer with too much
political discussion. In contrast
to the hour-long programs which
are planned in our current cam
paign, no TV political broadcast
in Britain exceeded 20 minutes.
The Conservatives and Labor
each put on five programs-four
of 20 minutes and one of Is min
utes while the Liberals had one
quarter-hour and one 10-minute
broadcast. The Conservatives led
off and finished the series accord
ing to the House of Commons
custom which allows the govern
ment to have the first and last
word.
Proeroms in Evenings
Both the BIC and the ITV
carried the series at 10 pm. on
week days. The commercial chain
was required by law to broadcast
all these programs without the
option of choosing the ones it
preferred.
The content of the telecaStS was
left entirely to the political parties
the ,TV producers acted only as
consultants to give technical ad-
vice. Use of previously prepared
films, cooked press conferences"
or phony dialogues are all consid-
cred the business of the parties
over which the broadcasting COM
panies exert no control. However,
no spot TV programs are allowed.
The Labor Party was generally
considered to have put on the
most imaginative, lively and tech
nically proficient. telecasts. Their
five programs, based on the most
popular BIC current affairs series,
used combination of film re-
ports. interviews, animated car
toons and diagrams plus short
talks by party leaders. Politicians
experienced in TV planned the
programs on such a flexible basis
that no advance announcement
of their contents was made. But
each program was introduced by
the same Labor M. p, Wedgwood
Benn, who was chairman of the
committee that directed the oper-
alton.

~ The fate of Chicago'S architec-
tural landmark, the Garrick-on
the Loop-will guide other cities
seeking to preserve their store
houses of Americana.
= Chicago is fighting to save the
aging Garrick Theater from
wreckers because it is beautiful.
Owners want to raze the aban-
sdoned Showhouse and History
office building because it is a hope
less. money loser.
AT issue is not the fate of the
soaring, ornamented tower alone
but, the question of whether any
city has the right to deprive own
ers of full use of their property
in the name of public esthetic
interests.
Faced with the same question,
District Commissioners reluc-
family have sided with private
owners. So have most other city
administrators. Their hearts but
not their heads are with Chicago.
Despite growing legal concept
of "esthetic" interests, most
American municipalities have
dared not challenge Anglo-Saxon
traditions of law weighting pri-
vate property rights against
beauty.
Chicago accepted the legal and
fiscal challenges in the Garrick
controversy, already stirring Ma
tion-wide interest.
Designed by Sullivan
The Garrick was designed by
Louis H. Sullivan, a mentor of
Frank Lloyd Wright, and Dank-
mar Adler, an acoustics expert,
in 1892.
Statues of IL famous composers
and musicians flank the build
ing's intricately carved front. 1t
first was known as the Schiller
building and theater and featured
productions by German repertory
companies.
In 1908, the theater by then
called the Dearborn. was bought
and remodeled by the Schubert
brothers. They renamed it the
Garrick.
Theater critics called it the
flagship of the Schubert's Chi
cago fleet" Such stars as Mary
Pickford, AL Jolson, Lionel Bar
rymore, Grace George and Sir
Harry Lauder played there.
The curtain came down on the
Garrick's last legitimate stage pro-
duction in December, 1888, and
the theater became movie house.
Later the Garrick became a tele-
vision theater and in 1857 began
showing movies again.
Early this year, the Garrick
Theater Building was designated
by the Commission on Chicago
Architectural Landmarks as one
of SO Chicago structures of arch
itectural Importance.
To the owners. the Balaban g.
Katz Corp, a movie chain, the
Garrick was simply a bad invest
ment. Owners said they lost $500
day in taxes, operating expenses
and income that would be pro-
duced by the substitute parking
facility.
Was 1t Feasible?
The Chicago commission, rough
: ly comparable to the Fine Arts
Commission here, appeared to
agree. Preservation was mot fea-
sible" because the 68-year- -old
landmark had fallen into disre-
pair, the commission reported.
'' In June, wreckers applied for a
permit.
Demonstrators began to picket
the Garrick and to gather sigma
lures on petitions to save the
structure. But nobody offered to
pay the owners sales price of SIS
million.
Sensitive to opposition to raz-
ing the building, Chicago's Mayor
R. j. Daley named community
leaders to a committee charged
with saving the Garrick. Then
Mayor Daley invoked police pow

hard facts. We have no illu-
sions. This is no dream, but a
challenge!
History teaches US that the
period of greatest crisis lies be-
fore us. and especially disillu-
sioning has been our experience
in this worthy cause. Yet we
must not falter!
Where, then, shall we turn?
In our judgment we do not wish
to confuse the issue. The pri-
mary aim has always been to
understand the problem better.
I do not pretend to know the
answers. There are unmistak-
able signs, I submit to you, and
in such view we are perhaps
more to be applauded than con-
demned-as the world may one
day see.

Another and wiser man has
said it far better. for therein
lies the common denominator Of
a people who will never give up.
We should, then. pause and re-
fleet. 1t was gratifying to hear,
in our overall approach, and as
a matter of fact it is this very
spirit of unselflshness which is
beyond peradventure Of a doubt.
Whoever would challenge those
words of our revered founding
fathers, I would say to you:,
Let's look at the record as set
forth by them!
Of this we can be assured-as
those who have gone before US
and these splendid men and
women in this room whose very
presence tonight testifies. With
heartfelt thanks, and with un-
yielding determination as in the
immortal words first uttered by
my illustrious colleague, we hear
the hallowed yoices-Blue and
Gray-who made it the great
common heritage of the melting
pot, sealed with blood in the
spirit Of the dauntless pioneers.
and in this tradition we must
and we will-under Godl
1t has been a distinct honor
and privilege, and in conclusion
let me say what words cannot
express. On that note may I
leave you with this parting
thought, which I know will be
taken in the spirit in which 1t
is offered, for the die is cast
before the bar of justice and
world opinion
