BABCoeK is NOT IN THE RACE
In Favor of Cannon for
Speaker.

MILWAUKEE, Nov. 15.-The Wisconsin
republican congressional delegation. at a
conference this afternoon. offered their sup
port to Congressman Babcock for speaker
OF the Fifty-eighth congress. Mr.. Babcock,
however, declines to be a candidate and
favors Congressman Cannon OF Illinois.
The delegation decided to follow Bah
cocks lead and support Cannon In ad-
dressing the delegation Mr.. Babeock said:
1.-THE speaker OF the Fifty-eighth congress
should, in view of the present environ
ments, be selected with peculiar care, and
with serious regard for party harmony In
republican policies. He should be chosen
without mourning obligations that might
weaken the organization OF the house, so
that he would be free to use his best judg-
ment TO make the organization the strong
est possible, TO the end that public meas
ures may be considered without prejudice
and to the end that the greatest good may
be accomplished for the greatest number.
THE first and most important thing to
be considered is a harmonious organization,
one that will bring to the speaker all the
elements Of strength in the party. This
east has several distinguished gentlemen
whose, names have been mentioned for
speaker, among them the Hon. S. e. Payne
and Hon. ]. S. Sherman OF New York, Hon.
John Dalzell Of Pennsylvania. Hon. C. Z.
Littleield Of Maine, and in the middle west
Hon. Theodore z. Burton Of Ohio. The
west proper has but one announced can
didate, Hon. Joseph G, Cannon of Illinois.
the veteran leader Of the house. ripe in ex-
perience, courageous, wise and above re-
proach, whose highest ambition would be to
faithfully promote the success Of repub-
lican principles. to give due heed to public
sentiment on the great questions that con-
front us now and that are likely to be con-
sidered, and to maintain that cooperation
of the house with the senate SO necessary
to wise and careful legislation.
"If l should enter the field as a candi-
date It would be a long drawn-out contest
that might leave scars that would in the
end prevent that harmony Of organization
which, in the public interest, should be pre-
served, especially in the west.
AFTER considering the subject from all
standpoints, including those which I have
mentioned. I have concluded not to enter
the list of candidates for the speakership."

In answer to. further questions he said the
men should be paid for every pound OF mer-
charitable coal produced.
Then he denied any knowledge Of the
union having inaugurated a strike because
Of the employment Of nonunion men, but
admitted that local unions had suspended
work on this account.
Lawyer Believes In Unions
Mr.. Maoveagh told Mr.. Mitchell in open
Ing his cross-examination that he was not
opposed to the proper organization OF la
Dor. He thought that where employers
were large corporations IL might be to the
interest OF the men to combine.
Then he asked the average rate OF wages
paid in the United States.
Mr.. Mitchell could not tell him.
Then you are not competent TO tell the
commission upon what you base a fair
standard OF American living. except in a
sentimental way? ?" retorted counsel.
Il think l am" replied witness.
Turning to another question, MIR. Mac
Veagh asked who would pay the advanced
price of coal II the advance was granted.
who would stand for this Increased
cost? Don't you think the poor would be
the real sufferers?' he queried.
II suppose the operators will make the
poor stand for it. We are not responsible
for that" responded Mr.. Mitchell.
The commission adjourned until Monday,

Later in the day there we're two minated
debates, one over the resolution against
the ship subsidy bill and the second over
that opposing the isthmian canal.
The committee on resolutions reported
favorably on the motion concerning the
subsidy bill. and the convention was about
to adopt It when William ]. Gilthorpe of
the Brotherhood Of Boiler Makers and Iron
shipbuilders took the floor to speak in its
favor.
He declared that the passage Of the act
would result in the increased employment
Of skilled labor and enable this country
TO construct ships as eheaply as foreign
countries. The American marine required
protection and he urged that the report
OF the committee be not concurred in. ,

Or. Redmond. a specialist is the study

the new discovery for the cure Of piles.
was the most remarkable remedy he had
ever seen or tried In one respect. and that
WAS the instant relief experienced in all
cases, no matter how severe, from the mo-
ment he remedy was applied; this was the
more surprising 10 him because he had
carefully analysed the preparation and no
trace of opium. cocaine or similar poison
could be detected.
Physicians look with great favor upon
the Pyramid Pile Cure. because 1t is rap
idly taking the place Of surgical operations
and because 1t is so simple. so easily APP
piled and contains no mineral or other
poisons so commonly used In pile cures.
Or. Esterbrook reports that the Pyramid
Pile Cure not only cures the various forms
OF piles. but never fails to give immediate
relief OF the first application. no matter
how severe the pain or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles for
years are often astonished al the instant
belief experienced from the first applica-
ton. Another important advantage Is the
fact that anyone can use the remedy with
out detention from business or interference
with daily occupation.

KELVIN.
Earrinrton's majority, 50.


There was considerable discussion IN
regard to the smaller holders who
would personally vote and in regard
to the proxies, for, though Donaldson
and I were perfectly agreed, Jim Bum
differed from us very widely. He be-
lieved that Of the $50 shares which
had credited to Kelvin in the above
table at least one-half would so to US,
thus making the result Of the election
sure. I don't know how he could so
far deceive himself, but he was per-
fectly sincere in his opinion and per-
sisted in crediting US with the votes Of
men who were as sure to vote the hei-
vim ticket as Kelvin was himself.
Among them were two members Of the
present directory Of the company. 1t
was they who had objected to moving
the Office, as I mentioned somewhere
in the early part of this narrative.
1t will be remembered that Donald
had made a startling prediction in re-
gard to Bum and that it had been YER
lied by Bunn's redemption Of his stock
which had stood in my name. But l
had received Runn's solemn pledge
that this stock should not pass out Of
his control, either by sale or proxy, and
that it should never be voted against
me. He was a stockholder Of record
at the date prescribed, before the cleo
ton, and counted upon him with the
same certainty that I counted upon
Donaldson or Archer.
When my table had been made up
and sufficiently discussed, showed It
to Donald.
"This may be al right, Uncle John"
said he, "but / will bet million dol
lars against q teaspoonful Of east wind
that it won't come out that way. How
ever, if you win you don't care what
the vote is"
'I'd like to know what you think it's
going to be-" said I.
"I'm ashamed" said Donald. Its
silly for me to pretend to know any
thing about it."
Bum was hitching about in his chair.

ing said he. I'D like to know wheth-
er you think the same way that I do
about it,
