unnecessary PUNISHMENT upon him in

unnecessary punishment upon him in
dealing with this little incident.
And were it not that everyone con-
nected with the news department OF
the Tribune knew that The Herald S
/ statement was correct, and the fur
ther suspicion that the paragraph re-
ferred to was prepared at the sugges-
ton of some very near friends of Mr..
Cannon, if not by MIR. Cannon himself.
it would be allowed to pass unnoticed.
MIR. Cannon had no choice in the
matter of his selection as a delegate TO
the convention and until after the list
of delegates were read he did not
know that there were two places TO
fill. He had been crowded OFT once by
his ward delegation after his name
was placed on the list. 1t was no Sc
cret in the convention that Mr.. Can
non had been left out, not only for
delegate to the state convention, but
that he was turned down as perma-
nent chairman of the convention. Just
before the convention was called to
order Mr.. Glasmann learned OF the two
vacancies which occurred on the di-
vision of the delegates, one to each
five in the convention. This gave the
city tWenty-eight and the country
twenty-five. but as the city had been
allowed thirty-three it left one extra
delegate to each ward; but two of the
wards, the First and Fifth, did not
know of the extra allowance, hence
the two delegates were not reported.
GIasmann said Cannon had been
crowded out, and he wanted him to go,
but was doubtful about the Fifth
ward fellows selecting him if it was
left to them, SO he said to the gentle
man who called his attention to the
- - a. i -, Heaxr
the convention select two at large.
When the matter came up Mr.. Hal
version. who was to place Cannon in
nomination. was rather slow, and two
other men, S. L. Ives and w. F.
Critchlow were nominated, and mo-
ton made to declare them elected. Mr..
Halverson then said the Fifth ward
was entitled to one more and he NOM
mated Cannon. Glasmann said: 81 can
not entertain that motion unless it is
made as a substitute for one of the
other names or one of the other gen.
tlemen withdraws." at the same time
nodding at Critchlow, and that gen.
tleman withdrew. r. C. Linsday,
GlaSmann man, then moved to Substi-
tute Cannon's name, but no one sec
onded the motion until GlaSmann said:
DO I hear a. second?" pointing to f. ].

onded and Cannon was elected. Not
by his choice as to mode. Not be-
cause it was the will of the conVen-
ton, because the convention would
have elected the first two men
nominated had Glasmann desired to
crowd him out, but because it was the
desire of Glasmann. Everyone present
so understood it; the press representa-
tives, including the gentleman who
represented the Tribune so understood
it, and SO understanding he would not
and did not write the false statement
regarding Mr.. Cannon's election which
appeared in that paper yesterday
morning. Prominent Republicans who
witnessed the proceedings of that con
vention said Saturday and say today
that they are surprised at Mr.. Cannon
accepting of the position coming in the
manner that it did Regarding the in
timation that Mr.. Cannon was elected
at large at his express desire, is not
according to the facts in any Aparticu-
lar; he could not and did not make a
suggestion which that convention
would follow or did follow.
