ILLINOIS FOR CANNON
WIN Hand "UncIe Joe'' the Dcleen-
tion Tomorrow.


SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,. Mar. as
Illinois is to be placed on a golden
platter metaphorically speaking, and
presented to Uncle Joe" Cannon to-
morrow. with the best wishes Of the
republican political managers, from
governor. senators and congressman
down to the ward leaders. Tomor-
rows republican state convention,
which will be called 70 order here at
10 o'clock. will doubtless go on with
out hitch. All the machinery is
well oiled and apparently in the best
OF working order.
Governor Deneen, Senators Hop
kins and Cullom and Mayor Busse of
Chicago have been decided on as the
ones to be honored as delegates at
large, and there is not likely to be
much opposition to this program.
The convention will be composed of
1852 delegates. Many of these ar
rived in Sprinfield today.
Friends of Secretary Taft, while
admitting that Cannon men will con-
troll tomorrow's convention, declare
that great many of the delegates
from congressional districts will

punctured in the national convention.
The peculiar situation which exists
in the gubernatorial campaign has
aided Cannon.
Deneen is candidate for reeIec-
ton and has made a tentative work
ing agreement with Cannon. Many
of Deneen's friends are suspected of
beeing for Taft, but they dare not
say so. because Cannon's friends hold
the whip hand
The Cannon delegates must be
selected before the middle of April,
while the delegates which will nomi-
nate Governor will not be selected
until August If the Cannon forces
are defeated in their object OF getting
the state delegation in the national
convention. and decided to hold the
Deneen men responsible, they can
punish Deneen in the August primar-
les. The Deneen men, therefore, arc
almost compelled to deliver the
goods" to Cannon in advance.
Although Taft and many other
candidates have many friends in IL
linois, especially In Chicago, the ac-
ton OF the state committee in indors-
ing Cannon has probably met with
the approval OF majority of the re-
publicans of the state. Uncle Joe"
is highly popular among the rank
and file of the party in Illinois and
his record In congress is a source of
pride to his constituents. The COM
mittee expressed the sentiments of a
vast number of Illinois voters when 1t
said:
I'VE invite the attention Of the
country to the well-known fact that
without the cordial. earnest and con-
slant support of the Hon. Joseph
G.. Cannon. speaker of the House Of
Representatives, it would have been
impossible for the recommendations
Of the president to have been enacted
into law, and that the policy OF the
republican party, as manifested by
the president and enacted by con-
gress. cannot be better carried out
and continued than by placing the ad-
ministration of the same in the hands
OF the man whose authority and in
fiuenee in promulgating the same
has been second only to that of Pres
ident Roosevelt himself"

Nugent wants q Triple Alliance PO-
Iitieally.
The republican newspapers are
commenting quite fully on the re-
marks OF John F. Nugent before the
Democratic club OF Ada county, con-
corning his part in the last campaign.
What startled them was this state
ment by MIR. Nugent; II have freely
spent time and money for the sue
cess OF the democratic ticket. Dur
ing the last campaign | spent more
money for the success of the ticket
than was ever spent by any man be-
fore in the state.
Some of these newspapers try to
make political capital against the
democratic party for these utter
ances. II is fair to say. however. but
few of them do this. Mr.. Nugent
was the attorney for the Western
Federation of Miners before and
during the campaign.
MIR. Nugent was opposed to the
policy Of the democratic party then.
as he Is now. At that time. as now,
he wanted the Mormons and the
democratic party to combine. Mr..
NuEent did not represent the demo-
cratic party during the last cam
paign. nor does he claim that he did.
He Is very careful In his language
In that regard and avoids giving an
impression that he spent his time or
money by direction Of. or with the
sanction or approval OF. the demo-
cratic party organization.
The consensus OF opinion Is that
Mr.. Nugent spent his money to de-
feat Governor Gooding and Judge
Smith. and that he was successful In
greatly reducing Governor GOoding's

PASADENANS MAKE HEGlRA

Church Services, However, Were
Largely Attended, and Every One

PASADENA, Nov 26.-With about
half it's population gone to the races
and the football game, and nearly an
other half cone to Los Angeles for the
theaters, Pasadena was a deserted VII
lage after the noon hour today.
In the city Thanksgiving day passed
without an accident to mar its peace
fulness. Special services in the churches
during the morning brought out the
bigger portion of the population. The
largest congregation was at the First
Christian church, where most Of the
Protestant churches held a union
Thanksgiving service but the services
at both the Episcopal church of All
Saints and the st. Andrew Roman
Catholic church We're well attended.
1t is doubtful if a person went with
out some kind of Thanksgiving dinner.
The churches, various societies, the
Salvation Army and private individuals
were careful that the few needy ones
in the city were well supplied with the
materials for a dinner
In spite of the rain of last night,
which left the trails muddy and diff
cult to traverse, Mt. Wilson was the

.BANNINGS INTEND TO
PROCEED WITH WORK
RELY ON TRUSTEES GIVING
THEM FRANCHISE
Sentiment Reported as in Favor of
Granting Concession for Tracks
Ultimately to Railroad Com
pany Itself
ISnecial TO The IIerald.1

WILMINGTON, Nov. 26.-While they
have not appeared in open meeting
with the board of city trustees and
officially no action has been taken on
the application of William Banning for
six tracks of railroad from the Southern
Pacific and the Pacific Electric roads
across the water front of Wilmington
toward Mormon island, it is stated here
on good authority that the Bannings
intend to go ahead with their improve
ments. These Contemplate the dredging
and filling of 100 acres in the Mormon
Island tract and the Bannings will rely
on the trustees granting them a fran
chise at some future date, so that they
may have connections with railroad
lines.
Apparently no promises have been
made. but it has been the sentiment of
the trustees to allow them to improve
their property, and, when they need a
railroad line into the island, to grant
to the railroad company itself a fran
chise for one or possibly two tracks.
To make d regular railroad yard, how
ever, out of the key to the whole
water frontage of the city is not to be
considered at all.
The Golden Gate Dredging company's
dredger already is making a showing,
digging out the dirt from the channel
and piling it up as a dixie on the tide
land claimed by William Banning. AS
long as the dredging operations do not
interfere with the dredging for the
city's channel to the turning basin,
which will begin as soon as the contract
is let by the trustees, the Bannings'
work will go merrily on.
The electric dredge belonging to the
North American Dredging company is
in position to begin work on the chan
mel out from the Consolidated yards,
but will be kept idle until the Edison
Electric company completes its line of
feed wire through the mud flats to the
dredger. This is slow work, but will be
finished in short while, and the
dredger then will be put to work.
Some progress is being made by the
small dredger operating for the Los
Angeles Harbor company over in the
west basin. The dredge is small but
quick, and cuts a strip in as far as the
Pacific Electric tracks, which were so
hastily laid for 1000 feet in the curve
of the bay west of this. city September
%. AS soon as this cut is made the
dredge backs out, and another little
slice is cut away up to the railroad
tracks. Whether an attempt to get
across the tracks will be made when
the channel is finished cannot be
learned.

Neiehbors Report 1t as Their Under

Hotel Virginia Is Married
Already

LONG BEACH, Nov. 26.-Chief of
Police Williams spent an hour this
afternoon arraying himself in his best
bib and tucker, having been invited to
act as best man at wedding The
groom-to-be was Samuel Miller, chief
engineer at the Virginia hotel and the
bride, Miss Harriet Virgin. aged 49, is
said to have come here recently from
Denver, Colo.
Chief Williams was told the wedding
would take place at 6;15 at Justice
Brayton's office on Pine avenue, but
the chief and the justice both were LETT
waiting at the office. The couple did
not show up at the time indicated, and
nothing could be learned as to their
wherea bouts.
A long search resulted in finding that
Miller roomed at Dps American avenue.
The landlady there stated that two
women, said to be sisters. came early
this week and that she understood one
of the women was Miller's wife. This
idea she still held today, as did the
neighbors, who had seen the two
women and Miller, and all expressed
surprise when told of the proposed
marriage.
Mr.. Miller talked of when his wife
would come from Denver" said a
neighbor, and though l have not been
introduced. / have inferred that they
were married. The women have been
here since the first of this week"
At the Hotel Virginia the information
was given out that Miller was the chief
engineer and believed to be married
man.
Miller and the two women were not
at their place of residence this evening,
and an explanation of the mystery was
not obtained.

The figures for this month are made

sixty days several good sized contracts
