 FOR UNCLE JOE Nominated Eighteenth Time. ENDORSED FOR PRESIDENT Enthusiasm at Republican Conven-
 ton at Danville. House Leader Says It Is Too Early to Talk of Presidential Candidates But Indicates He'll Accept. 

| Danville. H.. Aug 1s.-The Republi- cans of the Eighteenth District today
 unanimously renominated Joseph C.. Cannon for the eighteenth consecutive
 time by exclamation.
 There was great enthusiasm, espe- cially over the prospective candidacy of MT. Cannon for President. He had l not intended to launch boom at tho convention, but the pressure of his friends swept away his wishes in the matter.
 The conventions endorsement of Mir. Cannon was unanimous and the resolu- | ton was adopted amidst the greatest enthusiasm. Mir. Cannon said: The resolution which you have just adopted. coming, as 1t does, from thoss whom I have represented in the Na- tionnl House of Representatives for over thirty years, touches me profound ly. would be less than human did not appreciate your expression of com pliment when you mention my namc with ap '-osal in connection with tho highest office in the gift of the people. would not exchange your confidence for the gratification of any ambition I might have.
 Tt is proper fcr me to say, how ever, that we are on the eve of a cam paign t1r the election of National House of Representatives, which may Involve one-third of the personnel of the United States Senate. to say nothing of the campaign in the respective States.
 Look Out for November. "As you are aware. the election win be held in November next. In politics as we'll as in other matters, 1t Is bes. not to cross stream until you coms to 1t. The first stream to cross is in November next, and it Is necessary that we should be succeeded in crossing 1t bssore we attempt to get over the river in 1908. 'If. in November, the interests of the Republican party shall again be clothed with power in the National Congress, and the first session of the Sixtieth Congress can succeed In making approx imately as good q record as was made by the first session of the Fifty-ninth Congress, which has just come to close. coupled with the adoption of the wise administration by the Chief Exec utive and the impartial enforcement of the laws, the party will deserve, and in my Judgment. will receive the approval of the people in 1908.
 Tt Is too early to determine the per- sonnel ticket for the Presidential cleo tion. So far as the Republican party Is concerned, if will no doubt, in con vention assembled, perform that duty wisely when the time comes, and who- ever is chosen for leadership. will sure lly receive the ketrty support of those, who believe .n tie policies of the Re- publican party. of which I am most humble member.
 No man wo i'd refLte the nomination at the hands of EItat party for the highest office in the republic. but such nomination Is not to be had for the seeking"
 MT. Cannon was given splendid welcome here today on the occasion of his appearance before the convention. After the aplause had quieter enough for him to speak. he began his regu- lar address. which was as follows:
 Mir. CannOn's Address.
 MT. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
 Convention: confidence and I congratulate you on the prosperous condition of the coun- try under Republican administration The Republican Party has followed the servant who returned to his matser the talent entrusted to his care multiplied ten-fold- Clothed with responsibility for the administration of the govern sought to make a return that will ben eft those who entrusted the talent to our care. We have succeeded in mak- ing two blades of grass grow luxuri- where one grew feebly before under the Democratic administration.
 Since the election cf William McKin- ley the business of the country has doubled ard the material interests of all the people have become better than ever before in our history: aye, better than the condition of any people any where on earth in any time since his ia hn of the Republican Party as enacted into law by Congress and executed by the President. Attribute this condi- tion to what cause you may. speculate in men or measures, the fact remains that 1t exists and that there has never been recorded anywhere such industrial development and such a wave of pros perity as has swept over the United States in the last decade.
 Under the administration of the Dingley tariff law there has been a greater development in all forms of industry than has ever been reached under any other revenue law since the Government was organized. The sched- ules of that law are not sacred, but the principle there embodied Is fundament- al Since the enactment of the first revenue law under Washington down to the present time the periods of pros the periods of diversity have' been under the policy of free trade, or tariff for revenue only
 Prosperity For All.
 This remarkable prosperity under the Dingley law has not been for one class, but for all the people. It has touched the artisan, the farmer, the manufac tureI. and the common laborer of the country All have felt it's beneficent influence. and I measure my words when I say that the production from all kinds of business enterprise has doubled since the memorable year of 1896, when the country in its distress turned to Will liam Mckinley, the champion of pro- tection, as the advance agent of pros perity. The capital employed in our in- dustries has doubled; the total wages paid for labor have more than doubled in these ten years. the farmers have lifted their mortgages and are enjoy ing the emharrassments of a surplus in the savings banks, and laborers have ceased to hunt for jobs: in spite of large immigration from other lands there Is more work than workers in this country today Capital Is cheaper than C yer before. and money can be had at less interest than anywhere else in the world.
 The sun of prosperity Is shining on every part of our immense stretch of territory from the Atlantic to the Pa ' ,Nn-.
