OF QUITTING JOB
Speaker Cannon Says Reports
Are Simply "Hot Air."

Danville, ILL.,, Dec. 28.-Speaker
Cannon is evidently Of the opinion
that there is conspiracy among GER
tain Indiana Republicans to retire him
from the speakership before he is
ready. Mondays newspapers in Gin
c1nnati, Terre Haute, Danville, Chi.
cago and three Indiana cities printed
an article under Washington date to
the effect that Mr.. Cannon would not
again be candidate for the speaker
ship after his present term expired
Mr.. Cannon believes the articles
were inspired by a Chicagoan and a
prominent member of the Indiana del
egat1on in congress. Just who they
are he declines to state, but he places
them in the claim to be Republican,
class and says that is all there is to
them.
"Spouters of hot air." are the
words he used when discussing the
stories published. Speaking of the
story of his retirement Mr.. Cannon
said:
81 have no intention of retiring from
the speakership or from public life if
my constituents see fit to keep me in
public life. I am much more con-

INVASION Of STATE RIGHTS

Governor of Minnesota May Attack
Federal Corporation TAX.
st. Paul, Dec. ,28.-Governor A. o.
Eberhart may take. the initiative in a
test of the federal corporation tax.
/ Acting on the belief that it is not
only double taxation, but an invasion
of state rights, he may ask Attorney
General Simpson to take some action
looking to a settlement of the ques-
ton of constitutionality He is con-
tident that the tax inf1icts an injus-
tice.
Il have been giving the matter some
consideration" said Governor Eber-
hart, "and I am sure the tax is not
right. Why partnership concern
should escape, as against any set of
men agreeing to conform with the
laws of the state in respect to cor
porations, is beyond me, but such
seems to be the case. It is not fair

Montana Legislature Meets in Extra
Session.
Helena, Mont, Dec. 2S.-The Mon

to consider material to be used in the
new capitol wings, for. which an ap-

stone, because of it's cheapness com.
pared with the Montana product. La
Dor unions and others petitioned the
governor for special session, so that
the deficit might be made up by a reg
ular appropriation and thus use the
home product. It was charged that
the Bedford stone was unfair, but the
owner of the quarry with which a con-
ditional contract has been made has
shown that he employs only union la
Dor.
A movement is on foot among the
legislators to adopt a resolution of
approval of the state board of examin-
ers and adjourn the extra session, but
on the other hand a strong effort is
being made to secure an extra appro-
priation.

suBScRIpTIoN---S5.OO PER YEARIA ADVANCE
SENATOR xNUTE NELSON'S FUTURE

A Minnesotan who has recently
returned to St. Paul from trip to
Wa shington brings news of Senator
Knute Nelson's mental attitude re-
specting reelection. Senator
Nelson is now 81 years of age and
has been a member of the senate
since 1895. Before that he had been
a member of the lower house for
two terms and governor of the state
for one term and part of second.
Il shall not be candidate for re-
election" Senator Nelson is alleged
to have said recently in Washington.
when my present term is up l shall
be 70 years old. Minnesota has
been mighty good to me and l will
not ask for a reelection. l shall
take the position that I will accept
another term, but l. will not make
campaign for the place."
His term of office will expire
March 4, 1913, and he will then be
70 years old, with few months
added. The duty of electing his
successor will devolve on the legis-
lature of 1913, and senators to be
chosen at the next election will be
members of the senate charged with
this duty. The house members
elected next fall will vote for Senator
Moses E. Clapp's successor, but not
Senator Nelson's.
There will be no combinations
so far as I am concerned. If the
people of the state want me after
my present term has expired that
will be the only basis on which I
will be a candidate"
It is urged by his friends that
Senator Nelson is strong and virile
and that he has good many, years.
vigorous mentality before him. 1t
is doubtful, however, if he could
stand the physical strain of another
state wide speech making campaign
such as senatorial candidate. in
