SCI The Shadow Of Toe Cannon.

j Following are extracts, from an edi-
torial that appeared in the July is,
1903, issue of the Odebolt Qa.) Chron-
icle (Rep.):
Is Joe Cannon to be conceded the
speakership in the event of the repub-
licans carrying the house at the COM
ing election?
This is pertinent question. Upon
the reply, or failure to reply, hang
enough votes to determine the election
of president.
Let US treat Cannon charitably. if
you will. as charitably as his best
friends would treat him. and what
must be said of him?
HE is the most inveterate foe of
Roosevelt policies in public life; and no
man in either house is so detested bv
republicans who have followed Roose-
velt's leadership and who supported
Taft for nomination because they look
ed to him to carry on the work begun
by Roosevelt.
What happened during the last ses-
sion of congress? Under an abomin-
able system which began with Tom
Reed. and was later reduced to p.
science by Cannon. the speaker of tn.
house played the part of an autocrat
Nero's fiat was never more absolut,
than Cannon's decision for or against
legislation. When Roosevelt recon
mended legislation with the approval
OF nine-tenths of the voters of this
country Cannon tilted his cigar ane
tersely announced that he opposed ii
and therefore it could not be consider
ed. When it was absolutely certain
that majority of the members of both
parties in the house and senate desired
the passage of a bill abolishing duties
on wood pulp and printing paper, Can
non and his creatures on the committee
on rules-the republican nominee for
vice president among them efiantly
announced that they cared nothing for
the opinion of the public; that no meas
ure affecting schedule of the Ding
ley bill should come to vote-and none
did.
Everyone knows that Cannon tied
the hands of the president and defeat
ed every reform measure proposed at
the last session of congress.

Charles Dunn, who was arrested

After further elaboration and dis
cussion among the attorneys for the
city and for G.. w. LaPlant Wednesday
night, the lawyers got together on the
dam proposition. and as a result Judge
Parker today issued DEGREES in all of
the eleven cases growing out Of the
dam litigation. The dam cases
are settled. The DEGREES and or
ders of court set at rest the follow
ing issues involved in the litigation:
The right of the city of Marshalltown
and the Marshall Ice Company to per-
petuary maintain the dam Is estab-
lished and confirmed by separate de-
crees.
All adverse parties, including the
riparian owners, are perpetually en-
joined from entering upon the prem
ises to remove the dam or interfere
with the water level or with the main
tenance of the dam by the city or the
ice company.
The right of the city to use the water
power Is established.
"A clear title from LaPlant to the
real estate wherein the dam Is To-
Gated is conveyed to the city.
The confirmation, by decree, Of the
rights of the city to use and main
tain the dam, is contingent upon the
citys Installation of flood gates with
in three years time, according to the
terms of the stipulation Of settlement,
as ratified by the council. In the mean
time provision Is made whereby the
CITY will regulate the flow Of water
thru the mill race.
The city valves all claim for damn
ages on the bond put up by LaPlant.
The bond Is exonented and the sure
ties are released.
Van Law Wins Point.
The principal point won in the set
Element is the right Of the Marshall
leo Company to be recognized in the
maintenance of the dam. This Is the
contention for which Mr.. Van Law.
representing the city. held out upon in
the final settlement. Mr.. Van Law has
insisted at all times that the city's
best rights came thru the ice company
by a conveyance to the city from the
ice company Of an equal right to main
tain the dam. In order to protect this
right thus conveyed he insisted that
the litigants concede the right OF the
ice company to maintain the dam, the

Mr.. Merrill was in response to my IN

tack made from a source outside the
republican party in a primary contest
between republicans. He stated to me
the facts, which statement, upon re-
quest, he reduced to writing without
qualification or reservation as to the
use to be made of it. His statements
was written by himself, upon his own
typewriter, and by the use of his own
selection of words. Upon the same day
two leading citizens of State Center
told me that Mr.. Briggs. an employe
in the printing office of the Enter
prise, had stated to them that this
same article had been printed at adj
vertising rates. That 1t was printed IN
the same issue, and in a column ada
cent to the letter of announcement is
sued by Mr.. Ingledue, is apparent from
the paper itself.

Since that time have the statement OF
another prominent citizen OF State

written statement was given me. stated
that the contents of the statement were

them into this personal controversy.
II can procure evidence that the at.

possibly manifest in the variance OF his
