This was prepresident ial. So, he wants to be president by 1859. German immigrants are flooding into the west, voting eligible german immigrants. They have their own german language newspapers. Lincoln found out that this fellow had a newspaper in the southern part of the state but his progressive views didnt fly there. He went bust. He said the name of the paper and moved his Printing Press to springfield, it illinois. Then he got into some financial t
