Lincoln Douglas debate observed in Quincy park anniversary
The fifty-seventh anniversary observance of the Lincoln Douglas debate drew over two thousand people to the drill hall of the new armory on Jersey street where U S senator J Hamilton Lewis of Illinois spoke on the debate and its causes and effects. A park gathering near the boulder marks the historic site, and a tattered flag once flown at the debates was shown. Lewis argued the central issue was state rights versus a central government, linked to slavery and the unity of the nation, and warned of future tensions after the current world war. He received a warm reception and was hosted by local leaders at several events before departing for Cape Girardeau.
