ILLINOIS NOT SOLID
IN CANNON'S SUPPORT

Him in Same Position as Taft

Chicago, March 31-'Uncle joe"
Cannon's hopes of a solid ''favorite
son" delegation from Illinois went
glimmering last night when the First
congressional district elected two ma

vote for Secretary of War William
H. Taft. The action was taken de-
spite flood of imploring messages
from the Cannon managers at Wash
ington, who kept the wires busy for
"a hours trying to splice the threat
ered split, and it was put through by
Chauncey Dewey and Samuel A. Ettel-
son, county committeeman of the Sec
ond and Third wards. for the avowed
moral effect it would have upon the
presidential situation.
AS Mr.. Dewey phrased it, sit will
counteract the Cannon argument that
