Cannon Boom Launched.

Cannon Boom Launched.
The Convention Of the Republicans
of the 18th Illinois congressional dis
trict at Danville, ILL.,, renominated the
Hon. Joseph G. Cannon for the eigh-
teenth consecutive time.
There was the greatest enthusiasm,
especially over the prospective candi-
dacy Of Mr.. Cannon for President.
Mr.. Cannon had not intended to
launch boom for president at this
convention, but the pressure Of his
supporters was so great as to sweep
away his wishes in the matter.
Mr.. Cannon's supporters in his own
district will likely urge the state con-
vention to make a similar endorse
ment.
The resolution endorsing Mr.. Can
non for president was adopted amidst
the greatest enthusiasm. Mr.. Can
non said:
"The resolution which you have
just adopted, coming as it does from
those whom 1 have represented in the
national house of representatives for
over. thirty years, touches me pro-
foundly. | would be less than hui
man did not appreciate your EXPIRES
sions Of compliment, when you mer-
ton my name with approval in con-
nection with the highest office i'll the
gift of the people. I would not eX-
change your confidence for the graft
fication Of any ambitions have. 1t is
proper for me to say, however, that
we are on the eve of a campaign for
the election of national house Of rep
resentatives, which may involve one
third Of the personnel Of the United
States senate, to say nothing of the
campaign in. the respective states.
"You are aware, the election will
be held in November next. In poll
ties, and well as in other matters, it is
best not to, cross stream until you
come to it. The first stream to cross
is in November next, and it is neces-
sary that we should be successful in
crossing it before we attempt to get
over the river in 1908 If in Novem-
Der the interests of the republican
party shall again be clothed with
power in the national congress, and
the first session of the Goth congress
can succeed in making approximate
, ly as good record as was made by
| the first session of the 50 congress,
which has just come to close, coupled
with the addition of a wise admins
tration by the chief executive and the
impartial enforcement of the laws, the
party will deserve and, in my judg-
ment. will receive the approval of
the people in 1908. 1t is too early
to determine the personnel of the
national ticket for the presidential
election. So far as the republican
party is concerned it will no doubt, in
convention assembled, perform that
duty wisely when the time comes, and
whoever is chosen for leadership will
surely receive the hearty support Of
those who believe in the politices of
the republican party, Of which I am
an humble member. These policies are
for of all the people. No man would
refuse the nomination at the hands of
a great party for the highest office in
the republic, but such nomination
is not to be had for seeking.'

Running Race Circuit.
o the Editor of The Amerfcan

L :
NEW YORK, Jan. To- 1906.
The successful introduction of horse
races both on the flat and over hurdles as
feature OF the Bar Harbor horse show
last August, and the enthusiasm with
which these events was received, led me
to believe that circuit could be estab-
lished for the holding OF such races in
nually.
] discussed this subject with a great
many prominent Maine horsemen last fall,
and one and all they agreed that there was
no reason why running race meetings held
in conjunction with fairs should not be-
come as popular and as important an item
as the trotting races, without which a
state or county fair would hardly be
worth notice. A year or two ago this
would have been hard proposition, but
thanks to our friends in Providence, r. L.,
and the New England Breeders associa-
ton, now organized in Salem, N. H., a
path has been cleared for us, and very
cieties will do the rest.
have made inquiry into the amounts
paid out for purses and guaranteed ex-
penses by several of the large fairs held in
eastern Maine, and am willing to prove
that three races held on each day OF a
fair and consuming in all about ten
minutes time, including delay at post, ETC.,
would cost about ne-quarter of the money
now expended on trotting.
am firm in my belief that the general
public is firing Of the old, played-out bal
loon ascension and trapeze performance.
Why not give them something new? /
appeal to those who have witnessed fiat
or hurdle race between thoroughbred
horses for anything that will cause more
enthusiasm or healthy excitement.
The Bar Harbor horse show will be held
this year on August q, % and %, and will
include four races each afternoon one
over hurdles, and three on the fat. The
Bar Harbor fair association has been
promised the support of number of race
horse owners, with whom arrangements
can be made to enter at the other fairs as
well.
shall be only too glad to hear from any
whom this subject interests, and will
answer all inquiries that may be put to
me. Yours truly,
W. Il. N. voss.
