Wabasha Herald: The press reports
state. that Hon. James A. Tawney is
pushing Speaker Cannon's candidacy
for the presidency. Cannon is the
prince of protectionlsts and believes
that if the tariff is to be revised that
it should be revised upwards. This is
consistent with TaWney's vote and
work in congress IF the republicans
in the First congressional district want
a revision of the tariff they can't. vote

He has always stood for the highest

ahead OF the breast evince desire to do
business with the tunnel company. The
latter can operate the tunnel at a large
profit, without making any futher efforts
to induce Gilpin county mine operators
to utilize the big tunnel enterprise.
Some time latter in the twentieth cen

it's numerous homemade millionaires,
will awaken to the fact that the tunnel
might be a desirable thoroughfare
through which to operats her mines, and
at that time the tunnel company might
be so busy in handling traffic that it will
not have time to continue the tunnel for
the benefit of the Gilpinites. The tunnel
equipment. operated with electric power,
is now in excellent condition, and the
various companies using the tunnel to
gain easy access to their ores. promises to
tax the capacity of the transportation
facilities within the next few months, as
we'll as utilize all of the available power
