Cannon Highly Popular.

Mckinley, with his amiability, was
an exception to this aforementioned
rule. Similarly, Speaker Cannon, with
his rough and rugged personality, his
keen sense of humor, his blunt hon.
esty and various other Lincolnesque
traits, has created no antagOnisms in
congress. but. on the other hand, be-
comes more highly regarded the longer
he serves.
His strength to the republican party
in 1908, provided his physical condi-
ton continues good, will lie in his abil-
ity to inspire public confidence in re-
publican principles, and, in the fact.
that his own personality will be a
guarantee of righteous and safe admin
istration of governmental affairs. The
democratic party may drift so far from
sound moorings in that year as to
make the nomination Of some such
man as Cannon highly necessary.
All these thoughts are going through
the minds of the speakers friends in
Washington, and it will be strange II
a good many of them are not brought
to the surface at the anniversary din
ner although, as has been stated, the
dinner is not being arranged with a
view to anything of this kind. but
rather as personal tribute to the
speaker from his colleagues, republic
cans as we'll as democrats.

UNCLE JOE IS MENTIONED
Deemed Logical Candidate For The
Presidency.
'HE WOULD STEM DEMOCRATIC 1St
ONLY OBJECTION THAT HAS
BEEN RAISED is SPEAKERS
SEVENTY YEARS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 70
Sneaker Joseph G. Cannon will be ~
wears of age on May Z. In the evening
of that dav a dinner in his honor will
he given him by his colleagues of the
house of representatives. At the head
of the committee that is arranging the
dinner is Mr.. Tawney, of Minnesota.
Primarily, this event will be purely
nersonal and complimentary in char
acter. and will not look beyond the
floor of the house and the associations
which Mr.. Cannon has established
there through his long and honorable
service. Obviously, however, it Will go
beyond this somewhat narrow limit,
and if is now conceded that the
sneeches which will be made at the
BANQUET, and the atmosphere when
will surround it, will stamp the aralr
as the Inauguration of boom for Mr..
Cannon for the republican nomination
for president in 1908.
The dinner, from this viewpoint, will
come at a true psychological moment.
The presidential field, on the republl-
can side. is an open one. There are
no favorites. no candidates who stand
out prominently from other candidates.
It is held that the speaker can enter
such a field with perfect propriety, and
also with a fine chance Of success.
Age Only Objection.
The only possible objection TO Mr.
Cannon is his age, and yet nobody who
sees him day after day in Washington
believes that he will not hold his vlgor
safely through the presidential quad
riennium. And should he fail to DO SO
strong man nominated for the vice.
presidency would save the country and
the party FROM trouble.
If the speaker were ten years young
err than he is, it is believed in Wash
ington that nobody would seriously
question the propriety of his nomlna-
ton. Washington believes he woulc
carry off the honors without serious
opposition If he were failing physical
lv or showing any signs of failing
talk of his availability would. of course
cease to be heard. But being sound as
a bell and of the type that has always
commanded the confidence and esteem
and love of the American public, the
arguments in favor of his nomination
are being advanced with a good deal OF
compelling force in the quiet capito
lobbies
These arguments are almost certain
to be marshalled in a series of forcetu
speeches at the anniversary dinner be-
fore an audience that will represent
the country as a whole, and the effect
of such a presentation may be ire
mendous-especially so in view OF posi-
tive candidates and the threat to the
country which the democracy, with Its
trend toward socialism, may carry into
the campaign. 1t may easily happen
that the republican party will feel COM
PEELED to turn to some such man as
Cannon in a desire to avert disaster
not only to itself, but also to the coun-
try.

Five Took Short Cuts.

OF the presidents since the civil war,
five have not had this legislative ex-
perience. Grant came to the presi-
dency from the battlefield. Hayes had
never been a member of either house
of congress, and did not know public
men as represented in that body. Ar
thur had a wider acquaintance with
public men, but he, too, was without
legislative experience, which was
source of weakness, and helped prevent
him from securing the presidential
nomination in 1884. Cleveland was
without this legislative experience,
which fact, coupled with his tempera-
ment led him into numerous contests
with congress, more particularly with
the senate, and made his White House
career seem unsuccessful, at the time.
Roosevelt also came to the White
House without legislative experience,
aside from a term or two in the New
York legislature when a very young
man. and this fact accounts for good
deal of the more or less open friction
which, from the beginning of his ad-
ministration, has existed between him
and congress. Congress insists that he
does not understand legislative pro-
cedure and not understanding it, that
he violates the proprieties daily and
almost hourly, and is lacking in the
proper respect for the law-making body
as a whole.
A congressional career, on the other
hand, has on numerous occasions, oper-
ated as a handicap on public men with
presidential aspirations. A forceful
man in congress, especially in the
house. is almost sure, in the course
of a long and distinguished service, to
arouse antagonisms which operate
against him as a candidate for the
presidential nomination. This ex-
plains why Sherman died with his
ambition unrealized. And what is true
of Sherman is true, also, Of Blaine,
Edmunds and Reed. Blaine received
the nomination, but hatreds engender-
ed by debates on the floor of the house
had much to do with his defeat at the
polls.
