Excerpt from The Middle-West Advocate, Vol. 1: February 1906; Abraham Lincoln Number
As he rode along he acknowledged the spontane ous plaudits of the people with grave bows. His clothing hung upon his gaunt frame like the rags upon a scarecrow. -his long linen duster, common in those days, was a tri¿e dusty; his tall, ill-shaped stovepipe hat was soiled and his trousers bagged at the knees.
Between these two central figures of the day's doings the contrast was remarkable. Lincoln, tall and ungainly; Douglas, short, almost to st'ubbiness yet, like a lay figure in a clothing store, well formed and attractive.
