: Mr.. Cannon then switched back to the

cusSed coal, sugar, and collars and cuffs
The New York Sun was read at some
length whereat everybody cheered.
/ The extract referred to, was an account
OF the banquet given to Congressman Will
I son IN England. Although Mr. Cannon
used all his dramatic oratory at this point
tn9 applause was fiat, very fiat.
Inc speaker recited a speech by a
| poVerty-Stricken iron worker of San Fran
cisco, who, according to Frank. must
nave been most highly educated. 1t was
q sad tale. 1t has been told often
! papers have printed it several times and
/ attributed 1t to various speakers. al
though Frank claimed the credit of being
man who. relator said, had Soaked
! everything he had his children's jewerly
and his wife's Sunday dress. and all be-
cause the Wilson bill was passed and the
| London chamber of commerce gave its
author a banquet.
Continuing. MIR. Cannon said that Utah
was 'plunging down the decline into
community bankruptcy and that in a
short time the sheriff would use his paper
of tacks in putting up notices of writs Of
Fl ia on front doors.
1t may be that the reporter taking Mr..
CannonS speech is mistaken. but If Mr.
Cannon did not say that the salvation OF
an apology is due.
At this point the man in seat 276 went
to sleep and Colonel Trumbo smiled.
Mr.. Cannon then estimated the amount
of salt in solution in the Great Salt lake
at 5000. 100000 tons and told how the tariff
prevented the erection of salt works on
the shores of Americas dead sea.
The man in seat 277 also went to sleep.
Mr.. Cannon took up what he pleased
to call the false issue which included
orb than
party
Colonel Trumbo smiled once more at
the mention of statehood.
The speaker put a quietus on the
colonel at this juncture by giving John
NJ. Zane the credit of defeating the home
rule bill by writing an enabling act.
Then here occurred an episode.
'Who is entitled to the credit of giving
Utah statehood?' said Mr.. Cannon.
And a chorus of big bass voices in the
gallery exclaimed:
"Rawlinsp'
Then half the house cheered and the
sleepers in seats 276 and 2T woke up
Frank wasn't looking for this and for
several minutes was somewhat discon-
certed.
He got his breath when small boy up
stairs said go it pretty" and replied,
'My friend that is what Mr.. Rawlins
says himself.
And everybody, no not ALL say half in
the audience. cheered again.
Frank continued, land l think you
ought to give him the chance to run q
monopoly on the assertion.
Mr.. Cannon then said the credit for
statehood was due to the various con-
gressmen from Florida to Texas
The orator showed to his own satisfac-
ton that the Democratic party took the
church property away, disfranchised the
Mormons and kept shot guns in Missis-
sippi for the sole purpose of shooting col
ored men; while in New York City it
levied taxes upon sin to the amount of
$40, 600 600 per year for party purposes.
