NO OPPOSITION TO CANNON.
PAYNE AND D4LZELL OUT OF
SPElKERSHIP RACE.

Mr.. Cannon Tells New FORK Delegation
That lie VIII Take the Post Unpledset
10 Any Man or Any Ca0se-Payns
Thanks HIS ColIeag cues for support
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Representative
Joseph q. Cannon Of the Sixteenth district
Of Illinois will be unanimously nominated
for Speaker Of the House in the Ffty-eighth
| Congress. The absolute assurance Of this
fact was made this afternoon. when the
New York delegation. upon the motion OF
Mr.. Payne. pledged its support to Mr..
Cannon.
In making the motion Mr.. Payne said
that he had been deeply touched by the
manner In which his candidacy for the high
office had been received by the people OF
the State of New York and the generous
offers Of support made by his colleagues.
In case no man had secured a majority OF
the votes necessary to nominate In the
caucus he should have been glad and willing
to make a fight for the nomination, but 1t
was apparent that the Republicans Of the
next House and Of the country we're looking
to another State and another man for the
office.
This being SO, 1t seemed to him that there
that would otherwise exist by waging a
hopeless contest and he therefore advised
his colleagues to join him in rendering their
support to Mr.. Cannon.
Mr. Payne's motion was adopted. and he
was delegated 10 conduct Mr.. Cannon to
the meeting that he might be advised OF its
action. The appearance Of the two in the
rooms of the Committee on Ways and Means
was greeted with applause.
Responding to a brief statement OF the
act ion just taken. Mr., Cannon thanked the
members for their support He said he
would enter upon the position of Speaker
absolutely unpledged u any man or to any
cause, and would he governed only by a
sense of public duty which had always been
his guide In the past.
Fe appealed for the support Of his hearers
In discha rging the duties of the high Office
10 which their favor pointed, adding that AS
the certainty of his election approached,
the weight of increasing years caused him
some apprehension, But, az always in the
past he would do the best Re could.
After general handshaking, Mr.. Cannon
returned TO his own committee room and the
meeting adjourned.
This action Of the New York delegation
Virginia delegation. and AZ banquet given
to the Pelravlvania delegation tonight
Il was agreed that Mr.. Dalzell OF Pennsyl.
wanna should take himself formally out Of
the race and advise support OF MIR Cannon.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Dalzell will enable
the New jersey delegation TO support their
second choice, Mr.. Cannon, and then the
State of Maine alone will be outside the
Cannon breastwurks.
