lelement ef our citizenship.
His judgment Always unerrine.
Fer over thirty years he has been
q member of the House Il Representa-
Itiyes, and during the past ten years he
has been tho most CONSPICUOUS and In

MIR. Cannon is by no means an old
man. HIS step is as elastic, his eye as
bright his intellect as keen, and his
enthusiasm as buoyant as that of the
youngest member of congress No
matter how exacting the work or how
Hong the hours of labor. nothing seems
TO make inroads on his wonderful en-
ergy and vitality.
