SPEAKER CANNON.
Why His Nomination for Vice Presi-
dent is Favored.

Representative Browniow of Tennessee
favors the nomination of Speaker Cannon
for Vice President as Mr.. Roosevelt's run.
ming mate in the coming national cam
-paign.
"Since the death of Mr.. Mckinley" said
Mr.. Brownlow today, 'the fact has been
brought home forcibly that In selecting our
candidate for second place upon the ticket
we must choose a man made of genuine
presidential timber The exigencies of the
case are such as to force US, in self-pro-
lection, to select man for Vice President
who will not simply be a fgurehead in the
Senate and qualified only for the simple
duties of that position, but man who can
step into the Presidents shoes If he Is
called upon TO do SO, and fill the Office with
credit and ability. Such a man is Mr..
Cannon. OF course the post of Speaker is
second only 10 that of President, and the
vice presidency by itself is inferior. but at
the same time, II any contingency should
arise whereby the next Vice President
should be called to the governmental helm,
Cannon would fill the bill to perfection. He
could guide our national destinies in
manner satisfactory to every one, and the
country would be safe in his hands. Fur
thermore, ii is certain that Mr.. Cannon
could add strength TO the republican ticket
in Illinois. l do not regard Illinois as
being so safely republican as some observ-
ers claim. 1 think that Indiana Is far
safer Out In Illinois the constant clashes
occurring between labor and capital is caus-
ing great concern from a political as well
as a social and humanitarian standpoint
In Chicago the conditions are drawn to
point of severity which augurs of no as
sured safety for the republican party of the
state There is no telling just how Illinois
will go at the next election. With Mr..
Cannon on the ticket this condition might
be ameliorated to a considerable extent
and practical assurance given that we can
maintain our supremacy there.
"Mr. Fairbanks would also make an ideal
candidate for the vice presidency. He
would command strength for the ticket In
sections where Mr.. Roosevelt is alleged to
be held in some degree of disfavor Mr.
Fairbanks is made of presidential timber
He is a comparatively young man, and
might feel constrained to wait for 1908,
when he will, in my opinion, stand ex-
cellent chance for the main nomination.

MCCALL COMMIT TEE
PRELIMINARY HEARINGS CON-
cLUDED TODAY.
Impressions" of Members Not to Be
Given to Public as
.ai4 Yet. a,ki3i

The Mccall investigating committee
completed its preliminary consideration
of each case mentioned in the charges
against congressman" report at it's morn
ing session. today. The committee has
been considering these cases in execu
tive session for several days. The i'm
preston of the members of the commit
tee as expressed at the time in each in
stance has been recorded by a stenog-
rapher.
This impression, Chairman Mccall states,
is not necessarily the ultimate conclusion
of the committee. Besides considering
each case, the committee has, been classi-
flying the cases as it proceeded. 1t is
understood that many of them have been
eliminated from further consideration on
the ground that they contain absolutely
nothing which might be considered CEN
Surable. The committee has not decided
what the next step in it's procedure will
be.
The invitation to members of Congress to
present their views their own cases has
resulted in large number of replies. These
replies in many instances have contained
| the information that the member was sat
isfied to let his case stand as recorded in
the report. In other instances additional
papers and correspondence have been sub
mitted that the full transaction might be
passed upon.
The committee has summoned no wit
nesSes, and has not decided whether any
are to be called or, If they are called, who
they will be- If Chief Inspector Cochran
were in the city he undoubtedly would be
asked to appear before the committee. Mr..
Cochran is ctained in st. Louis indefi-
nitely.

acceptance of that appointment are not en-
tirely to his liking, but he will accept the

necessary authorization is afforded. 1t also

THE SWAYNE CASE.
Report in Impeachment Proceedings
Being Drawn

Representative Palmer who is drawing
the report on the Swayne Impeachment
case, expects TO submit his report to the
house the latter part of next week. 1t viii
be decided then by the house managers
when it shall be called up. 1t is optional
with the house to accept the committee re-
port and order the impeachment or to lay
the report on the table.
Leading republicans of the senate said
today in private conversation that If the
house directs Impeachment and brings the
case to the bar of the senate they do not
see how 1t will be feasible to do other than
act upon it Immediately. Trial of a federal
officer by impeachment is of rare occur
renee, and Is considered a matter of the
highest privilege Many senators are dis
inclined to daily with such high question
or to delay adjudication of the case. In
view of the rather sensitive condition OF
representatives and senators on matters
touching the honor and integrity of Con-
gress and the government service at large
the result of recent developments, it is con-
sidered doubtful whether the senate will
consent to laying itself open to the charge
that it was derelict in acting upon an in
dictment of such grave character brought
against federal official.

Cleveland Apathetic.

Tribute to Roosevelt.
"Your appeals to Young men should not
be solely to their selfish, material interests,
but TO their patriotism as well. If we. as a

the character of our candidates as well as
the soundness of our principles must be
beyond question. Our national candidate,
President Roosevelt, belongs distinctively
to this class.
"By his fearless and conscientious dis

Jealous and constant devotion to the high
est interests of the public at home and
abroad, by his fidelity to the principles of

Americanism he has shown himself worthy
of conspicuous place in the illustrious

failure is to impeach the intelligence of the

Cleveland's Attitude on Trusts.
Trust legislation. it's progress under sew

former President Grover Cleveland in re-

principal points of Secretary Shaw's ad-
dress. He said:
mo sooner was the result of the merger
case announced than the opposition fnaug-
urated widely varying and inconsistent
tactics to rob the administration of the
fruits of its victory. The most amusing
effort to avoid comparison of republican
and democratic administrations. to the
great advantage of the former, appears In
a recent interview by ex-President Cleve-
land. He does not claim to have recon-
mended any antitrust legislation during
either of his administrations. He does not
claim thst any antitrust legislation was
passed during either of his administrations
He does not claim credit for any litigation
ever instituted to suppress any trust or
combination during either of his admins
trations. He simply seeks to explain why
nothing was done, and he places the re-
sponsibility therefor upon the courts and
