SPEAKER CANNON OPTIMISTIC.
Talks Encouragingly in New York Of

A dispatch from New York last night
says: Uncle Joe" Cannon came to town
yesterday, en- route to Oyster Bay
The Speaker, who is chairman of the no.
tincation committee, met many of his fell
low committeeman last evening at the Wall
dorf-Astoria. He was in fine health and

the republicans threatened to nominate
him for Vice President had passed away.

Speaker Cannon ''braced up the back

suffering from lack of confidence since Par

convention.

Babcock's Statement.
Similar statements were made by Repre-
sentative Babcock of Wisconsin, chairman
of the republican congressional campaign
committee.
Particularly in my own state OF Wis
consin," Chairman Babcock said, land in
the middle western states the farmers are
al prosperous and satisfied with present
conditions. They are getting higher prices
for their products than ever before and
they are making money. During the last
eight years the good times have worked a
wonderful transformation In the condition
or the western farmers. Now nearly all OF
them have paid up their obligations, they
are making money from all of their prod
ucts, and they putting the money in
the banks. 1t is a common thing now for
western farmers to own two carriages, and
they show other evidences of the prosperity
they have enjoyed since the first adminis-
tration of President Mckinley. This PROS
present time, and democratic friends
will have hard work convincing these
sturdy voters that they should risk the re-
suits of change in the national admin
istration."
This view was also expressed by Repre-
sentative Jesse Overstreet of Indiana, and
by various members of the notification COM

Self Government for the Philippines.


At the present moment to give political in
dependence to the islands would result in
the immediate loss of civil rights, personal
liberty and public order, regards the
mass Of the Filipinos for the majority of
the islanders have been given these great
boons by us. and only keep them because
We vigilantly safeguard and guarantee
them.
To withdraw our government from the
islands at this time would mean to the
average native the loss of his barely-won
civil freedom. We have established in the
islands government by Americans assisted
by Filipinos. We are steadily striving to
transform this into self-government by the
Filipinos assisted by Americans.
The principles which we uphold should
appeal to all our countrymen in all portions
OF our country Above all they should give
us strength with the men and women who
are the spiritual heirs Of those who upheld
the hands of Abraham Lincoln; for we are
striving to do our work in the spirit with
which Lincoln approached his. During the
seven years that have just passed there Is
no duty, domestic or foreign which we have
sh1rked; no necessary task which we have
feared to undertake, or which we have not
performed with rdasonable efficiency.
We have never pleaded impotence. We
have never sought refuge in criticism and
complaint instead of action. We face the
future with our past and our present as
guarantors OF our promises; and we are
content TO stand or to fall by the record
which we have made and are making.
Receives Congratulations.
At the conclusion Of the address Presi-
dent Roosevelt held an informal reception
and received the congratulations of the
committee on his speech.
Among the invited guests were Chairman
George B. Cortelyou, Gov. B. B. Odell.

For the Comfy Of Nations.


We earnestly desire friendship with all
the nations of the new and old worlds; and
we endeavor to place our relations with
them upon basis of reciprocal advantage
insead of hostility. We hold that the pros
perity of each nation is an aid and not
hindrance to the prosperity of other nations
We seek international amity for the same
reasons that make us believe in peace with
in our own borders; and we seek this peace
not because we afraid or unready, but
because we think that peace Is right as we'll
as advantageous.
American interests in the Pacific have
rapidly grown American enterprise has
laid a cable across this the greatest of
oceans. We have proved in effective fash
ion that we wish the Chinese empire we'll
and desire its integrity and Independence.
Our foothold in the Philippines greatly
strengthens our position in the competition
for the trade of the east; but we are gov
erning the Philippines in the interest of the
Philippine people themselves We have al
ready given them a large share in their
this share as rapidly they give evidence
of increasing fitness for the task. The
great majority of the officials of the islands,
whether elective appointive, are already
native FilipinoS. We are now providing
for Legislative assembly. This is the first
step to be taken in the future; and it would
be eminently unwise to declare what our
next step will be until this first step has
been taken and the results are manifest
To have gone faster than we have already
gone in giving the islanders a constantly
increasing measure of self-government
would have been disastrous.

Belief in Reciprocity.

We believe in reciprocity with foreign ma
tons on the terms outlined in President
McKinley's last speech, which urged the
extension Of our foreign markets by recip-
rocal agreements whenever they could be
made without injury to American industry
and labor. 1t Is singular fact that the
only great reciprocity treaty recently adopt
ed-that with Cuba-was finally opposed al
most alone by the representatives Of the
very party which now states that it favors
reciprocity. And here again we ask that

pairing their deeds with ours. On this Cuban
