Mr.. CANNON TELLS A STORY.

Before going 20 White Plains, Speaker
Cannon called on Chairman Sherman at
the headquarters Of the Congressional
Campaign Committee yesterday after
noon, and 10 the reporters there made
few remarks about the campaign.
My experience" he said, has been
that il is before dinner that men and
beasts grow demonstTative. not after
dinner
Ten years ago we had our greatest
political excitement and our widest
demonstration. That was before dinner
The people were trying to find out how
10 get the dinner. Since 1900 we have
had trouble only with those whose bust
ness II Is to aSitatc. There are quite a
few of them, but they remind me OF
General Grants story Of the coyotes
down in Texas.
THE whole camp was kept awake one
night by the coyotes. The soldiers were
satisfied that there were millions Of
them. A few soldiers went out 10 get a
shot and they found just three coyotes
each on his own hill making all the
noise.
1T seems 10 me this year that the agi-
tators are busy and noisy. but they are
not making much headway. Our people
are too busy TO be disturbed by profes-
sionaI agitators. They just go ahead at
tending to business and let the agitatOrs
