CUSSIN' ISSUE IN CAMPAIGN
SPEAKER CANNON is HAVING
THE RACE OF HIS LIFE.
Attack on the Extensive and EN-
phatic Vocabulary of 'Uncle JOe'
Has Stirred His District From

Center to Circumference.
If the Hon. Joseph G. Cannon sue
ceeds in getting back to congress
as the representative of the Eigh-
teenth Illinois district it will be only
after the hardest sort of a fight. His
opponent for the seat is the Hon.
Henry G. Bell, who is popularity
known as Ding Dong Bell" and
who has instituted what promises to
be a whirlwind campaign against the
grizzled Speaker. That Mr.. Cannon
is the mainstay Of the trusts in con-
gress is very well known, but Mr.
Bell isn't going to attack him on his
trust record. 1t wouldn't be worth
while to assail the trusts in the
Eighteenth Illinois district, because
the trusts distribute lots of money
there in one form or another. But
Mr.. Bell is making it hot, and is
going to make it hotter, for Uncle
Joe" on account of his language. On
every stump in the district Mr.. Bell
is going to tell, in the most polite
language imaginable, what impolite
language Uncle joe uses.
In short, Old Man Cannon "cuss-
es, and he does it in a manner to
make the air turn blue and smell of
sulphur. He "cusses" when things
don't go to please him, and he
"cusses" when everything is running
as smoothly as grease. He "Cusses"
before breakfast and after supper,
and a whole lot between times. His
influence upon budding young con-
gressmen, as may be imagined, is
something fearful. Hearing the great
speaker of the house "cuss," the
budding young congressman thinks
there can be nothing very wicked
about it, and so he falls into the
hateful and useless vice with the idea
that it is something of political ac-
complishment.
The attack that is being made upon
Speaker Cannon on account of his
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1908-09-23

language is no laughing matter, and
nobody knows it better than him
self. Once before a similar attack
was made on him, and it won. That
was back in 1890 or Whereabouts.
Mr.. Cannon made a speech in the
house during the course of which he
used a simile that was regarded as
coarse and indicate. The next day
the whole country buzzed with the
scandal of it. Samuel T. Bussey,
living back in Illinois, took the mat
ter up and ran for congress against
Mr.. Cannon, with bot air" as the
issue. Mr.. Cannon was beaten, de-
spite all of his apologies and expla-
nations. At the next election, how
ever, Cannon was returned to the
house, but he was a chastened man,
in measure. He never again
"cussed" on the floor of the house.
but it seems that he has still been
singing language" around the cor
ridors and cloak rooms, right where
people can hear it. And that has
given the Hon. Ding Dong" Bell his
opportunity. If we are to have puri-
ty in politics we must have purity
in language. The statesman who
'cusses" is not above suspicion of
also smoking tobacco and drinking
cocktails with cherries in them. And
If he does all of these things mani
testify he is not a proper person to
dominate the popular branch Of the
national legislature. The Eighteenth
Illinois district is reported to be lean
ing very strongly towards that opin-
ion
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1908-09-23
THE HEARST CAMPAIGN
KFRFLUMUXES IN GEORGIA

ening up has each time thrown a
blanket of doubt over such rumors.
On the sum mentioned the state
leaders were said to be reasonably
certain that the state could be won
from the democrats, and to score the
victory, while the big pile of cash
was thought to be on the way, elab-
crate plans of organization were
formed.
One of the plans, it is reliably
stated, was to employ men who are
capable of wearing good clothes to
travel over the state and talk revolt
among the democrats. These men
would travel as drummers, and would
claim to have supported Joseph NJ.
Brown in the recent campaign. These
men would also talk revolt, in each
section, narrating how the demo-
carts were declaring for Carter in
some other section.
The writer of this has seen one
lone individual who took part in the
recent primary who says he is going
to vote for Carter in the general
election.
Another campaign method, less
ethical than the above, but which
illustrates Mr.. Hearst's we'll known
axiom that money can buy anything,
was to hire as many persons who
were closely identified with the
Brow campaign as possible. This has
even been carried to the extent of
offering places and good salaries to
rir1c ctr nh 81
the Brown campaign headquarters.
One of the amusing features of the
Graves notification meeting in Allan
ia was the spectacle of William Ran
dolph Hearst occupying the chief
place of interest flanked on one side
by his S13, 900 candidate for the vice
presidency, and on the other by his
$4,000 political agent.
More remarkable still was the vo-
ciferous applause given an invidious
fling at Joseph NJ Brown, the white
primary nominee for governor, made
/ by Mr.. Hearst's high-salaried private
attorney, Mr.. Schearn. Many recall
ing the incidents of the recent state
campaign smiled when they noticed
that the president of the Atlanta
Liquor Dealers Association was one
of the most enthusiastic applauders.
Another laughable feature of the
so-called campaign is the charge of
fraud brought against the faction
supporting Mr. Brown in the recent
campaign. AS is we'll known, the
other faction had complete control
of the election machinery, and if
there were fraud they should at least
know of it. They have never charged
any. Further than this, the registry
list of the Fifth ward in Atlanta,
known as the one where fraud could
be practiced with less danger, per-
haps, than in any other, has been
carefully checked 1t proved ninety
nine per cent. pure, and those who
did the checking declare that with
time the other one per cent. could be
accounted for satisfactorily.
The Hearst people are circulating
a list of names of registered voters in
