That was theAtext OF Uncle Joe Canuon's
lang address td a crowd that stood on the
tanbark along the side lines; filed the
GALLERY and im~pAovised balconies and oc-
oupied all the seats Of the big building with
the execution OF q few at the extreme rear
of thu hall. They cheered the name OF
lincoln. They yelled themselves hoarse
at mention of Mckinley. They Missed the
name OF Hearst. But most Of all they
cheered for Uncle Joe and ~applauded the
cheerful optimism that p~ervaded his speech
ms no outlined the upbuilding OF our country
under a protective tanff.
Sneaker Cannon came upon the stage
promptly at 8 o'cloGS. He was followed
nv the Hon. J. Van Vechten Olcott, can
didate for reelection to Congress from the
district in which the hall ia sltuated-the
Fifteenth Congressional. non James
r. Watson, Congressman from Indiana, ana
Congressman William 5. Bennett. Herbert
Parsons reached the platform a Few min
utas later. Congressman Olcott presided
and introduced Mr.. Cannon in a very few
remarks.
Congressman Olcott mentioned Mr..
Hug : name during his brief ~troduct
Of Speaker Cannon and the Gubernatorial
candidates name brought forth a storm
of cheeps. Everybody was supplied with
an American flag, and they stood up and
waved them enthusiastically.
There was more Jumping up and nag
waving when Mr.. Cannon advanced to the
speakers desk, a Hughes button decorating
his black frock coat. Scarce had he begun
his address when the camera brigade I'M
limbered for action and as Mr.. Cannon began
to speak there was a mighty Dang mat
upset the nerves Of many women in the
audience and which caused Mr.. Cannon to
get mad clean through.
Il trust one will suffice" cried Uncle Joe
Az the smoke doated toward the rafters and
then he went away back and sat down
glowering.
.Put him out" yelled the crowd at the
camera man. while Uncle Joe sat at the back
Of the stage and looked terrible things.
4 hope there will be no more pictures
taken while Mr.. Cannon is speaking said
Congressman Olcott, coming to the front
OF the stage. Then Uncle Joe got up and be-
gan all over again and went on without
further heavy artillery interruption.
The speakerlsaid in part:
1.-Two weeks from now from the Atlantic
70 the Golden Gate IS 900 900 people are to
exercise their sovereign power. In this
country Of ours in the future AZ in the past
our supplies will be according TO our de-
AAn N~@NKn a~I
faulty we must put up with the supply until
we get under the law another chance to cor
rect our mistakes. And in the meantime
we must suffer for our mistakes
At this point Mr., Cannon got his second
and final interruption when the band out
side started up The Red, White and Blue"
Cant you stop that bandP" asked the
speaker irritably; and there was some
laughter from the audience.
Three cheers for Uncle Joe!" cried some
one as if TO make up for the annoyances to
which the speaker was put. They were
given with a whoop.
That's a tune we all have in our hearts"
Mr.. Cannon said with a smile. but just
now | want TO get into your ears
With the remark that he remembers the
important happenings of the country for the
last fifty-five years, Speaker Cannon now
outlined by illustration and statistics the
rise in resources and industries since his
boyhOod. He told Of the growth Of the
railroads, the building OF the West, the
increase in the output OF American FAC
tories till our industries and natural re-
sources, developed and diversified by the
sons and daughters of our land in field and
factory n mine, are equal to one-third
of the output Of the entire globe" Jap

one or two or six newspapers, a somebody
