McCan Davis of Springfield is a candidate for one of the two Republican nominations. Six years ago Mr. Davis made a famous pri~ *» niary campaign for the Republican nomination for Clerk of the Su­ preme Court. He kept out of the Cook County fight and made a down-state campaign. He became known as "the country candidate" .iftd surprised the old-time politi­ cians by winning a brilliant victory. The country voters flocked to his standard in overwhelming num- „ 'jers, and although there were in ill seven candidates he received in nany counties more votes than all he others combined--in some beat- ;ig his chief rival ten to one. He was elected in November, 1908, by a plurality exceeding 165,000. His term of office expires next January, and lie now seeks to go to Con- press, with every probability of success. Owing to his national reputation as a writer on Abraham Lincoln and bis devotion to the political principles of the Great Emanci­ pator, he lias been called "a Repub­ lican of the Lincoln type." He is a native of Illinois and for twenty- five years has been a resident of Springfield. In all of that period he has been closely associated with public men and public affairs. He has known every Governor and United States Senator from -the days of "Uncle Dick" Oglesby, who, by the way, shortly before his death, gave to the world through Mr. Davis the true story of the "rail movement," which had so much to do with the nomination and election of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency in 1860. He is essentially a "self-made man"--in succession a farmer boy, a country school teacher, court stenographer, a country editor, legislative . correspondent at the state capital, a member of the Illi­ nois bar, a newspaper writer and author of distinction. Ma man of brilliant mental attainment," "an all-around man of affairs." Son of a veteran of the Civil War, he has been a Republican from boyhood. Mr. Davis has an acquaintance with public men that is of national scope, and if elected to Congress his familiarity with legislative and public affairs will make him from the outset one of the most usefal snd influential members of CM> fress.
