|GOMPERS GOES
AFTER CANNON
Labor Leader Invades the Dis
trict of the House
Gar Today.

Danville. ILL.,, Sept. samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. will invade the Eight
zenith congressional district of Illinois
Monday for the avowed purpose of
bringing about the defeat of Joseph G.
cannon, speaker of the national house
or representatives, who is making his
nineteenth campaign for a seat in the
house of congress from the territory in
dictated.
First Address Today.
Mr. Gompers is billed to make his
flrst address at the Lscbor day celebra-
ton here tomorrow. Two years ago he
declared his intention of seeking the
speakers defeat, and announced that
ne would make number of speeches
Tor the Democratic candidate, who cp-
posed Mr.. Cannon. However, Mr. Com
pers made only one or two speeches in
the outskirts of the district, failing to
appear in Danville, where the heaviest
TABOR vote of Mr.. Cannons district is
polied, and the speaker was reelected
by the largest majority he has had IN
eighteen campaigns, with the excep-
ton of the vote cast for him four years
ago. on the occasion of the Roosevelt
landslide.
Depends Upon the Miners.
In this county, Vernillion, is polled
the heaviest labor vote IF the entire
district. some 5000 or 5000 of these
laboring men being employed in the
coal mines situated near Danville, and
it is in this county that Speaker Can
non receives his heaviest majority. In
the next largest labor settlement or
county Mr.. Cannon is g:Y)n his next
heaviest majority and SO On Town TO
Edgar county, in which but few union
iaborers reside and which is populated
almost entirely by farmers, where the
speaker receives his ightest majority.
Despite the activity which Mr. Com
pers promises in his declaration that
he will attempt to defeat the speaker
by lining up the labor vote against
him, Mr.. Cannon is wholly confident of
reelection.
