Satisfied With Speakership and Is Not
After Vice Presidency.

Washington Nov. 2S.-Speaker Can
non SHES at the suggestion advanced
by some of his friends in the house that
he should be candidate for the vice
presidential nomination of his party.
His disinclination is not a surprise to
the Illinois delegation in congress- as
the members We're We'll aware of his
sentiments. The following statement
was issued by one of the speakers
friends today, with MIR. Cannon's en-
dorsement:
1t goes without saying that any citi-
zen of the United States might Well
feel gratified to be thought worthy to
go upon the presidential ticket as car
didate for vice president. There are
many great and good men in the party
who, from every standpoint. will be
good candidates. SO far as Mr.. Cam
non Is concerned. substantially his life
work has been in connection with the
house of representatives.
"As speaker of the house the full mead
is concerned. is satisfied. Even If he
should be considered an available can
didate his nomination would not he
thought of for moment. He is now
organizing the house for the work of
the Fifty-Eighth congress and not
with any desire to take the chair now
so admirably filed by the able and ac-
complished senator from Maine"

feeling toward me. on the part of my
countrymen, which your Initiative has
brought out. Your advocacy In the
Eagle for my nomination for the pres

have caused me to hesitate as to the
time and manner of a declaration on

such declaration should seem nee
essary or proper.
I'm the midst OF 1t all and In full
view of every consideration presented,

obsriin Carter, Who Was Convicted Of
Stealino From Government.

Se0AbtU9 GToW SovGrUbu9t1Ss
Chicago, Nov. 2s.-Oberlin NJ. Carter
formerly captain of engineers, in the
United States army. was released from
the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth.
Kas.. at mightnight, and started at once
for Chicago. where he arrived today.
Carter will visit his brother, Stanton !
Carter, who is Chicago dentise. The
ex-capta1n's mother may also be in
town.
The prime reason for coming here.
however, Is to assist his lawyer. Hor-
ace G. Stone, in preparing evidence in
the civil case, by which he hopes to
obtain belated vindicadon. The case
has been pending for several years, and
the government, thru Special Counsel;
Martin Erwin. has been planning to
secure about 100000 in valuable bonds.
which Carter is said to have received
from Greene & Gaynor. contractors.
whose work in Savannah harbor the
then captain Of engineers had been of
ficially inspecting.
Attorney Stone received letter from
his client yesterday in which he said:
.'At the coming trial in the federal
court in Chicago it will be shown be-
yond cavil that every dollar had was
properly received by me; that all
ways served my country Loyalty and
intelligently: that the work intrusted
to my care was property, successfully
and economically done; that always
did my duty as an officer of the corps
of engineers. and that, altho crimes
have been committed against me, my
honor is unsullied.'
This is said to be the first comment
Carter has made on his case. Attorney
stone in long statement issued last
evening commented on Carter's con-
y!ction. which he said was unjust IN
every respect. Mr.. Stone declared that
the extra money Carter expended at
Savannah came from Mr.. Wescott. his
father-in- and intimated he would
prove, II necessary, that the govern
ment. having threatened suit against
Wescott, came to an understanding by
which he was to say he had received
the bonds from Greene and Gaynor 70
turn over to his son-in-law.
Mr.. Stone also expects to show that
the bonds actually were Westcott's
The original receipts given
Westcott by Carter, the attorney says
are now In evidence, and abundant
written evidence Is now in or going IN
to prove that everything Carter spent
or had In excess OF his salary came
from Westcott as gifts at a time when
westcott never left Carter without put
ting his arms around him and kissing
him."
Oberlin NJ. Carter was sentenced by
to four years in federal
prison, September. 1899. BY good be-
havior he succeeded in reducing his
time by ten months.
