Cannon Called "LiveSt
Wire" in the Presiden-

Captures Illinois From Taft
and Shakes Up New

Il is becoming apparent TO politicians
an Washington that Joseph G. Cannon
is a Presidential candidate much in
earnest.
The charge cannot be made against
Uncle joe that he is too tinid 10
grasp mis- opportunities. as it is often
made against the presiding officer at
the opposite end Of the Capitol. Neither
can it be alleged against him. as it often
Is against Taft, that he does not know
the game of politics. No more can the
charge be made effectively that he is L
''reactionary, for can he not reply that
he has been part and parcel Of the
whole legislative scheme Of the Roose-
welt Administration. very necesSa "

Boomerang in Illinois.

Uncle Joe's" activity is the present
day wonder of the preliminary cam
paign. IL is only a few brief and fleet
ing weeks since the Cannon movement
was supposed to have died of hamilton.
The President was reported arranging a
plan under which the Speaker was To
be suppressed, and the delegation So
cured for Taft. Then. suddenly il was
reported that the President designed TO
take up Burton, of Ohio, and make him
Speaker, unless Uncle joe obeyed
orders.
That was the start of the Cannon
epoch of new activity. The next thing
known was the announcement from Illi-
nois that the Speaker would have the
Illinois delegation; that Deneen would
have ar unopposed nomination for gov
ernOr; that Hopkins was TO be reelected
10 his Senatorial seat. Everybody was
in the deal. There wasn't a handle left
III Illinois by which the anti-CannOn
movement could take hold.
The Speaker presently turned up in
Albany. and he and Governor Hughes
were found TO be cultivating most ami
able relations. The Speaker told the
correspondents that Governor Hughes
was the real goods. and that he was
sure to win There were intimations
about this time that a Cannon ard
Hughes ticket might sound good. The
governor was asked about il, and was
quoted as saying. naively, that stranger
things had happened"
