His District in Illinois for
Seventeenth Time.
HIS NOMINATION
WAS UNANIMOUS
Report Of Speech Delivered by Speaker
Cannon ut Danville,
Illinois.

Associated Press to The Evening Time..
Watseka, ILL.,, Aug. 16.-If there is
any luck in the sequence of numbers.
as some persons believe, the support
ers and admirers of Speaker Cannon
may find cause for congratulation in
the fact that on this. the sixteenth day
OF the month, Uncle Joe" was named
for seventeenth term by the repub-
licans of the eighteenth district. If
Mr. cannon saw any good or bad omen
IN the 16-17-1S combination he gave
no indication of 1t, nor did he commit
nlmsef when the convention, with
shouts and cheers, made it known that
ne was the choice of his home district
for the presidency. The republicans
OF this district have met seventeen
times to name Uncle Joe" as their
candidate for congress, but never be-
fore was the choice registered with
SO much genuine enthusiasm and evil
dences of admiration for their vener-
able representative. In addition to the
regular delegates there were scores
of visitors in attendance. including a
good-sized coterie of republican poll
ticians from Chicago.
Cann0n's Speech.
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention: l thank you for this ex-
preston of confidence and congratu-
late you on the prosperous condition
of the country under republican admin
istration. The republican party has
followed the teachings in the parable
OF the wise servant who returned to
his master the talent entrusted to his
care multiplied ten fold. Clothed with
responsibility for the administration
of the government of S0,000,000 people,
we have sought to make a return that
will benefit those who entrusted the
talent to our care. We have succeeded
in making two blades of grass grow
luxuriantly under republican admins
tration where one grew feebly before
under the democratic administration.
Since the election of VIM. Mckinley
as president, the business of the
country has doubled aud the material
interests OF all the people have become
better than ever before in our history;
aye, better than the condition of any
people anywhere on earth in any time
since history began. This is under the
policies of the republican party as en-
acted into law by congress and exc
cuted by the president. Attribute this
condition to what cause you may,
speculate about 1t as you will, call it
confidence in men or measures, the
fact remains that it exists and that
there has never been recorded any,
where such industrial development and
such a wave of prosperity as has
swept over the United States in the
last decade.

Sofia. Bulgaria, Aug. l6.-The anti
Greek movement in Roumania. and
especially in Bulgaria, is daily assum-
ing greater proportions and threat
ems to become serious danger to the
peace. The Bulgarian government, it
appears. will be forced to take ex-
ceptional measures to terminate the
disturbances which are due to an anti
Greek feeling. with which the entire
populatitS of the principality is i'm
bued. The cause of this feeling is the
historical competition between Greece
and Bulgaria for domination in the
Bulkans, which was recently re-
awakened and stimulated by their
rivalry in Macedonia, rivalry which
it is alleged has been artifcially en-
couraged by the Turkish authorities
and particularly by the atrocities of
Greek bands.
