After Joe Cannon.

The opening of the week witnessed the invasion
Of Speaker Cannons Illinois congressional district
by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and he will carry the war beyond
the gates of Danville where Cannon sits enthroned
The most considerable labor vote in Mr. Cannon's
district is po1led in and about Danve, where 5000
coal miners find employment.
Two years ago, Mr. Gompers made weak attack
the Cannon stronghold but unable to divert
any of the labor vote This time he goes into the
den of the lion and pulls its Organized labor
and the Methodist temperance organization max
ing common cause against Mr. Cannon and the
Methodsts operating through all the republican
congressional districts of the United States.
They seek to deprive him of the speakership, being
not unwilling to let him writhe in the seat of
common congressman, under the rulings of some
other tyrant.
Through the Methodist plan, the speakership of
the house of representatives may be bestowed by
direct vote of the people and another precedent
tabshed for the annoyance Of the autocratic class
to which Senator Hepburn has allied himself The
Methodists asking that republican congress
man be elected who will vote to return Mr. Cannon
to the speakers chair.
He is directly assailed in the democratic platform
and the democratic vice presidential candidate made
quite hit in directing a portion of his acceptance
speech remarks to the methods of the car of the
house.
The open and extended fight on the speaker of
the house representatives, fight in which the
democratic party finds itself strengthened by two
powerful allies, may change the political complexion
of that body and turn it over to the democratic
party.
