in his first campaign. But the attitude
OF the Cannon mind is not so much that
OF the Lincoln era as OF that epoch OF
fierce party strife which began with the
end of reconstruction and ended only with
the eclipse of the Democratic party dur
ing the last Cleveland administration.
In those days it meant something TO be
a party man, and it was disgraceful to be
q turn-coat. IT was the days of straight
tickets, no scratching and absolute boss
rule. The independent voter" had not
appeared to disturb politicians and the
'uplift'' and its schemes and plans was un-
heard of. Mr.. Cannon is true to the ira
ditions of his party and he has little pa
thence with new-fangled notions, unless
they will serve to advance party inter
ests. Then he is as ready to take up
as anybody could be.
The one thing he does know how to do
is to fight. He knows how to deal heavy
blows, he knows how to take them, In
1891 MIR. Theodore Roosevelt said: 1--WE
cannot escape from the fact that is was
no credit to the Republican party of the
house that Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois, should
be one of it's leaders" Yet IT was not
long until Mr.. Cannon returned to the
leadership as a victor. One of the lead
ers of the house. Henry Sherman Boutell
has said of the speaker. HE has no cant
or hypocrisy. He never poses. He never
fIatters. He never deceives." And. even
his bitterest enemies must admit that
there is never any difficulty in finding
out Just where Uncle joe stands. He
is again the center of a political fight
and the country may be sure that he
will not run away from it.

The American
Congress

The central figure in every discussion
of the American congress today is the
speaker of the house of representatives
Joseph Quincy Cannon. "Uncle Joe" is a
character He is as much of a character
in American politics as was the rugged
Andrew Jackson, the terrible John Ran
dolph, of Roanoke, or the imperious Ros-
coe Conkling. And he shares with those
three interesting historical personages
the distinction of being always positive,
never negative. Uncle Joesis a Republi-
can, therefore he hates the Democratic
party and all it's works If he likes a man
he will go to any proper length to show
his affection. II he disapproves of a man
there is no language too severe to eX-
press his feelings. Consequently those
persons who admire Mr.. Cannon accord
him a whole-souled and unquestioning
loyalty which is akin to infatuation, and
those who do not admire him are apt to
use the entire supply of invectives in ex-
pressing their opinions
1t appears that there are fashions in
Cannonism. The speaker can remember
when he was hailed all over the coun-
try as the ideal leader of the western
Republicanism-that was before some of
the 'fair-haired boys of the uplift maya
zines were born. lie also remembers
when he was denounced by large sec
ton of the press and by all Democrats
as "dirty-mouthed Cannon" Still later
the whole country adopted him as it's
uncle" and embarrassed him with gifts
of homespun suits and yarn socks, and
hand-knit "galuses," just to show that
the country saw in Uncle Joe the incar-
nation of those homely virtues which all
Americans affect TO regard so highly. And
now Uncle Joe, being the same man and
remembering all these things, is being
abused by most Democrats and some Re
publicans because he is a ''czar," and
is alleged to have decamped with the lib
critics of the American people secreted
in the same vest pocket where he carries,
ready for instant use, cigars, Vermillion

Messrs. Bryan, Gompers and LaFollette.
There are many men, no doubt who
are able to give a perfectly impartial es-
innate of Mr.. Cannon's ability and
craftsmanship, but there is none who will
do it, Either Mr.. Cannon is the good old
Uncle Joe who is standing bravely at the
head of the conservative forces fighting
Organism. Socialism and the devil; or he
is an Anticipated Tory striving to OBJ
struct every movement in the interest of
public progress and modern economics.
OF course he is neither one nor the other
he is not the only hope of conservatism
nor the only enemy of progress, for some
times he is progressive and sometimes he
opposes the conservatives. One thing,
however, is certain. He is always a Re-
publican.

So and so is young in congress. He does

four years old his parents moved to Indl-
ana his father being opposed to slavery.
At IA years old Cannon went to work
lin a country store, and saved his money
for the purpose of studying law. When
he was 20 he went to Terre Haute to
read law in the Office of John P. Usher,
who was secretary of the interior in the
Lincoln cabinet. Later he went to the
Cincinnati Law school, where he was
graduated in 1858. In the same year ne
