THOSE VliO
(Scrlpps News Association) '
.Washington. Feb. 14 Ever sine the
Civil war, men in public life have prided
themselves, when otherwise their physio
gnomy was painfully plain. In resembling
Abraham Lincoln. Just now there are
three men in Congress, that lay rival
claim to being th only real,, genuine
replica of Lincoln and their various frlonds
never let an opportunity pass to press
their leaders merits.
Representative Cushman, of Washing
ton, said to be th homliest man . on the
floor of th Hous. Is now sailing under
the nicknam of 'Th Lincoln of the Pa
cific" while Speaker Cannon and Sena
tor Cullora, both from Lincoln's state are
bushman worthy contestants. Its a
pity, people say, that they did not Iwe in
different age that each might strut upon
th stag and speak his piece, "Behold in
m that which mad Abe Lincoln, Lin
coln," and pass on to retirement unchal
lenged and in peace.
No on thought so much about Cush
man resembling Lincoln when th Wash-
ingtonian cam to th Hous. In fact few
people in th capital thought much of any
thing about th new member, as is nearly
always th case when the "kid" member
arrives. But, on day Cushman mad
them sit up and tak notic. Ha made a
speech i that set th 'country giggling.
Cushman was in th limelight. Than it
was seen that h was a No. 1 Lincoln
that is Lincoln whan he was smooth
faced. Th next time Cushman let loose
his wit in th Hous. every on acknowl
edged they had always thought he looked
like Lincoln..
Speaker Cannon has almost enough re
nown from his position to satisfy his van
ity. The speakership was the goal of his
life. He is quit modest about resemb
ling Lincoln. Within the last month Sec
retary of War Taf( met Speaker Cannon
at a reception.
"Yourssembls Lincoln, Mr. Speaker,
trior vry day," said th secretary.
"Whisper that Mr. Secretary," was th
raspons from Cannon. "Should Unci
Shelby hear that it would break his heart
Don't you know that has been his stock in
trad for twnty years?"
Senator Cullom has a cut way of ac
knwledging hi resemblance. When any
one reminds him of the resemblance to
Lincoln he invariably responds: "So many
people hav told me; I believe ' he was
considered the homeliest man in Amanca.
On day a Quakeress asked Cullom to
do something for her.' '"Friend, thee
somewhat resembles Mr. Lincoln." Sh
repeated her request and it was granted.
As shs was leaving, she said: "Friend,
the very much resemble Mr. Lincoln.'
