ATTACK ON CANNON
IS MADE BY BRYAN
Nebraskan Denies That He Is
Worth a Million as the
, Speaker Alleged
COmmOner Declares Uncle Joe Is
the FayOrite of Predatory
Corporations

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Sept To-
Heavy personal onslaughts on Speaker
Joseph @. Cannon of the house of rep
resentatives were made today by w.
]. Bryan in the course of his travels
through Illinois.
The democratic candidate attacked
Cannon from all sides. He charged the
speaker with being the favorite of
predatory corporations. with having
strangled reform legislation and with
having falsified the facts with regard
to Bryan's wealth.
Bryan referred to what, he said,
were the many exaggerated statements
in regard to his property, but declared
that Cannon's statement of yesterday
before the Springfield convention was
the first attempt of man OF polltlcal
standing or responsibility to estimate
his wealth.
In great detail Bryan gave figures
showing how his money had been ac-
quired from the day he entered con-
gress until the present time He de-
MED emphatically that he was worth
S1,0oO,000 as stated by Cannon and
fixed the amount of his earthly pos
session at $150,000 as the extreme limit.
He had come by it honestly, he said,
through saving a portion of his con-
gressional salary and from money de-
rived from lectures and writings.
Bryan demanded that Speaker Can
non be as frank as himself and tell the
public whether he had made any money
lecturing and writing and to what
extent his money making had been
hampered by strict attention to public
duties.
Not since the campaign began has
Bryan spoken with such vehemence
and, il is said, to be the first time
that a presidential candidate ever
went out of his way to attack cam
didate for congress.
The entire day was spent in Illinois
and Indiana. Altogether Bryan made
seven speeches, the places at which
stops We're made being Mattoon, Tole-
do, Newton and Olney, Ill, and
Browns, Poseyville and Evansville,

The heat was almost unbearable.
but the democratic candidate seemed
not to be affected by it. Wherever he
went he was met by large and enthu-
siastic crowds. He left tonight for

tegrity and independence of the ju-
dietary.
Cannon then took up the history OF
the demand for anti-injunction legis-
lation and pointed out that the de-
mand for a jury trial in contempt pro-
ceedings came first after the punish
ment of Eugene V. Debs. now candi-
date for president on the socialist
ticket, but in 1894 the leader of the
railroad strike.
He referred to the calling of federal
troops to Chicago by President Cleve-
land and recited the history of the
attempt by various congressman to
pass a law in 1896 to take from the
courts the power to grant injunctions
in labor disputes and their power to
punish contempt.
He said that while the bill was
passed by democratic senate on June
10, 1895, the day the ffty-fourth con-
gress adjourned, and although the
democrats indorsed such legislation in
their platform of 1896, both actions
were accepted by the people as an at
tack on the judiciary and aided ma
terially in the overwhelming defeat of
Bryan. The republican house stood
against such legislation in 1896, and
the people sustained its action
Cannon pointed out that in 1898 the
democrats might have passed such an
anti-injunction law; that they con-
trolled both houses and had a demo-
cratic president; that Mr.. Bryan was
a member of that congress. but he was
silent regarding injunctions by fed
eral court, although a court in Louis
lana had at that time decided that
labor organizations were amenable to
the Sherman antitrust law.

the president of the merchants ex-

and pleaded with the delegates to meet
the opposition with facts and argu-

find out where they stand. Let US

Later he pointed out that many of
the largest lumber companies in the
city owned land adjacent to Islais

which is to be dredged, would expert

be filled in and would then become

SPEECHES FAVOR ACT
Several speeches in favor of the In
ola basin act, as it is to be submitted

but no opposition was voiced. II was
reported that the opposition was based
on two points: First, that 40 blocks
would provide as good a basin as Ga,
and secondly. that the revenues of the
harbor were not adequate to meet the
burden Of the projected issue In re-
ply it was shown that the 81 blocks
would add eight more miles of wharf
age. while the 40 blocks would give
but four miles. 1t was further stated
that the revenue Of the harbor would
continue to show a balance of more
than S1O0.00 annually. with which
the new bonds could be financed with
out trouble.
A report was made showing that the
assessed value Of the land which the
state desires TO acquire at Islais creek
is only szs,eO0. 1t was stated that this
could be condemned at the outside for
q sum less than $780, 600 and that It
would not be necessary for the harbor
