{ today. He received congratulations
from members of the house and from
members of the senate and from dem
ocrats as well as republicans. From
friends in other cities he received
felicitous messages, and particularly
numerous and hearty were the greet
ings that came from Danville, H.,
which is Mr.. Cannon's home city.
Mr.. Cannon. was born at Guilford,
N. c., May Z, 1886, but at an early
age moved with his parents to Indi-
ana. He began life as clerk in a gro
Gerry store. He studied law in Cincin-
natl and was admitted to the bar in
1858. He settled at Tuscola, H., soon
after and was elected states attorney
there in 1861. In 1875 he moved to
Danville and was elected to the Forty
third congress. Since 1903 he has
been speaker of the house.
If he lives through the present con-
gress Mr. Cannon will break the rec
ord in length of service as presiding
officer, with the exception of Henry
Clay. who served nine and a half
years in the chair, to Mr.. Cannon's
eight years Andrew Stevenson of
Virginia and Thomas B. Reed of
Maine served seven years each as
speaker. which is one year more than
Mr. Cannon has served, although he
will surpass them by one year if he
outlives the Sixty-first congress.
Mr.. Cannon has already broken the
record for length of service on the
floor. He is now serving his eigh-
teenth term He came into the house
of representatives March 4, 1873, and
if he outlives. the Sixty-first congress

March, 1873, to March, 1911, a period
of thirty-eight years, with the excep-
ton of two years, when he was de-
feated for the Fifty-second congress.
The next record in length of service
is that of John H. Ketcham of New
York, who served seventeen consecu-
tive terms. General Ketcham was
nominated for congress twenty times,
and nineteen times by reclamation.
He was defeated by the democrats at
three elections and at seventeen was
successful.

ment, from March, 1889, to March 4,
1909, period of one hundred and
twenty years, there have been thirty

This is new preparation and a
good one. 1t is especially valuable as
a cure for chronic and muscular rheu-

which it affords in acute inflammatory
rheumatism. Those who have used it
have invariably spoken of it in the
highest terms of praise. Lame back,
lame shoulder and stiff neck are due
to rheumatism of the muscles, usually
brought on by exposure to cold or
