CANNON'S WARNING
CONGRESS CANNOT AFFORD
TO MAKE MISTAKES.
Speaker of the House Denies That He
Has Presidential Aspirations, and
Gives Party a Hint.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-Congressman
Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois, who is
the guest of Congressman Joseph Z.
Sibley, of Pennsylvania, on q cruise
through the Thousand Islands on Mr..
Sibley's yacht, is quoted as saying in
an interview, in reply to questions re-
garding his possible candidacy for the
Presidency:
AN 1 a candidate for the Republic
can nomination for President? No. l
have not the bee, personally. Would l
accept the nomination? No citizen has
ever declined it or ever will. l would
rather contribute to making the next
session of Congress a success so that
my party will deserve and win sue
cess in 1908, thar have the Presidency
rendered to me on a golden salver.
Now I want to make this point" he
said further. IF Congress does not
act wisely at the next session; If 1t is
not actuated by calmness and patriot
ism; if 1t makes great mistakes and
fails to meet the approval of the rea-
soning American public, there will not
be much need for the election of dele
gates to the next national convention
IF the Republican party,
1.-The great masses are not talking
politics now" concluded the Speaker,
They are busy. Their ambition is to
see mat nothing is done to make them
idle. This country is very prosperous.
There is the old state of uneasiness
in Wall Street, but Wall Street should
look into the country wher the fac
tories and the FORCES are going; where
the farmers are harvesting their crops
and sending them to market; where
well paid men are putting forth enor-
nous production for our domestic mar
kets and for the markets of the
world" he said in conclusion. 1T
would be a crime If Congress should do
anything at this time to upset business,
and it might make mistakes in half a
dozen ways"
