toned as Joe Cannon's
Successor.

A Washington dispatch says that all
ready politicians are discussing who
will succeed Uncle Joe Cannon as
speaker in 1911. Among the half dozen
names mentioned is Judge Crumpack-
er. Said that the Cannon machine.
which will control the situation. is
very favorable to him.
The Washington correspondent of
the Indianapolis Star. in speaking of
the possible successor of Cannon for
the speakership. has the following to
say of the congressman from this dis
trict;
Representative Crumpacker Of In
diana is having a speakership boom.
1t is not large or f1ourishing as vet.
but it may grow. No one doubts his
ability to fill the job. He got one vote
for speaker in the republican caucus
the other night and he has that for a
nest egg. There was a time when
Crumpacker was the most uncompro-
missing insurgent in the house, but he
has become tame and docile and is now
on very good terms with the Cannon
organization. which undoubtedly will
have something to say as to who shall
succeed Uncle joe"

into the lobby of the Houenden hotel
last night and ended the search which
hundreds of detectives have been max

agent for the kidnapers. Mr. WhitIa
is known to have carried $4,000 in
cash to the meeting place. He refuses
