Pass Resolutions Of Condemnation Of
Speaker In Illinois Conference.


CANTON, ILL, Sept. 1.-THE Cen
trail Illinois Episcopal Conference to-
day by unanimous vote adopted
resolutions condemning the actions
OF Speaker Cannon in the following
terms: I'VE deplore and condemn
the custom that gives speakers of
legislative bodies the power to con-
troll legislation. The conduct Of the
Hon. Joseph Cannon, speaker OF the
House, in refusing to allow vote
on the Littlefield bill. is worthy OF
universal condemnation and we sus-
gest that such politicians who lack
the elements of craftsmanship, should
be returned to private life.
We urge upon the people the use
OF all lawful means in securing the
defeat O fthe Hon. Joseph Cannon
as speaker Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives."

The Republicans carried all four
congressional districts by about the
usual pluralities.
The legislature will be safely Re-
publican in both branches.
The vote was the heaviest since
1888, running well up to 100000. The
gains, however, were mainly by the
Democrats, the party vote increasing
more than $4,000 over that Of 1904,
the Republican vote falling about 3
500. The Republican plurality is the
smallest recorded in a presidential
year in IS years.
The two parties split even In the

The voting was particularly heavy
in the rural districts where the DEM

Of Mr.. Gardner. among the farmers
made great gains.
The result which was much closer
than any Of the Republican leaders
had anticipated showed not only the
warmth of the contest, but the popu-

state, in the cities as well as in the
rural districts where his fame as the

law. taxation Of the wild lands and
reform in administrative methods.
But little was said Of national issues
although the Republicans through out
side speakers, sought at various
points to bring such subjects to the
attention of the People.
Local issues. however, proved more
popular and in the las, days Of the
campaign the Republicans joined with
their opponents in discussing them
and in doing so. strongly DEFENDED
the so-called Sturgis Law and urged
the voters to support its stringent
methods in the enforcement OF the
cause Of prohibition. The result Oh

denly of heart disease at the Home for
the Aged last Friday morning, was for
many years livery man in this town.
He was born in Westminster in 1921 and
came to Brattleboro when about 25 years
old. The stable which he conducted was
in the rear of the old Brattleboro House
on the site of the stable now occupied by
Howard & Yearly. On account of his
health Mr.. Smith had been unable for
many years to do any active work and
had lived at the Home for the Aged for
something over eight years. He is sur
vived by one daughter, Miss Mavarette
