CONTEST FOR SPEAKER
OF HOUSE NOW IN ORDER
Mr.. Cannon Leading Among
Several Candidates.
Mr.. LITTLEFIELD'S CHANCES
May Make Pretty Fight With Sup
port Of the Younger Members
Against Clique"

Now that the control of the neA,
House is no longer in dispute interest
at once centers around the question OF
Speaker Henderson's successor. While
indications point to Representative Can
non of Illinois as the successful man
still it is not improbable that hot
and spirited contest might develop a
dark horse.
Representative Cannon. before the
election. when asked if he would be q
candidate for ;Ae Speakership. said IT
would be best 10 elect a Republican
House before discussing the selection OF
Speaker Henderson's successor. Mr.. Can
non is now out for the speakershir
openly and has already commenced his
campaign.
Other Candidates.
Representatives Littledeld OF Maine
Dalzell Of Pennsylvania. Payne of New
York. and perhaps Babcock OF Wiscon-
sin, chairman OF the Republican Con
gress Committee. are also working fol-
the place
Mr.. Babcock ought TO be able to show
up with considerable strength. it is said
especially with the new members. fol
they viii naturally feel grateful towa-c
him for the part he played in the cam
paign.
Mr.. Cannon is the remaining one o
the FIVE candidates for Speaker in tn,
Fifty first Congress. when after an ex
citing contest Mr.. Reed Of Maine car
ried OF the prize. The candidates op
posing Mr. Reed we're Mckinley. Bur
rows, Henderson, and Cannon. Mr.. Rec,

Reed as Speaker a1d voluntarily retire,
from the election for Congress just end
ed. thus leaving Mr.. Cannon the last o
the big FIVE Of the Fifty-hrst Congress
Chance for Pretty Contest.
This fact in itself will no doubt mate
rally assist him in the present race
The cnly thing that may operate agains
the candidacy Of the Illinois Statesman
is the charge that he belongs to tn,
Clique that has run over the young mem
hers, the lttle fellows as Representa-
tive Cushman OF Washington called III,
new termers. Representative Littlefel,
no doubt is counting on their support
As there will be a large number o
good chairmanships to give out when IN,

UNCANCELLED PoSTALS TO
BE REDEEMED AFTER AUG.

Postmaster General Payne has
promulgated an order for the re-
demption of uncancelIed and unser-
viceable postal cards at 10 per cent
of their face value after August 1.

ceived by Postmaster Thomas are as
follows:
Postal cards which are not in a
whole condition. or those which have
been treated by any process of bronz-
ing or enameling or other coating,
must not be accepted for redemp-
ton.
Each unusued half of reply pos
tai card will be regarded as single
cent.
when the redemption value of the
cards includes the fraction of cent
such fraction will accrue to the de-
partment.
when postal cards exceeding 25 in
number are presented for redemption
they must be properly faced and
banded in packages of p; and post
masters may refuse to accept them
unless so presented"
Other rules are given governing the
method of procedure on the part of
the postmaster in forwarding the
cards to the department., but are of
no interest to the public. In the past
there has been no provision what
ever for redeeming postal cards.
