Lincoln in the mid 1830s move to the little town of New Salem, Ill. Shortly after moving to New Salem he ran for a seat in the State House of Ill. He lost his first campaign, however he was proud of the fact that of the 300 votes cast in New Salem, he recieved 277 of them. In his next campaign for the State House he easily won simply because he was better known throughout his district. So the conclusion you can make is that people who knew Lincoln thought very highly of him.
