Special to Times-Republican
Des Moines, Oct. 4.-Announcement
of the program for the homecoming
at Knoxville includes not only Hon.
Joseph G. Cannon as one of the speak
ers of the occasion but also Senator
Cummins John P. White, president of
the Iowa United Mine Workers, Con-
gresham Jameson, and Lafayette
Young. The affair Is to an be an all
week one Speaker Cannon is expected
20 address the pepole tomorrow. Tues
day, afternoon at o'clock. John P.
White will speak Wednesday after
noon and Senator A. B. Cunmins
Wednesday asWnoon. Thursday Con-
gresham w. D. Jameson. of Shenan-
doah. the only democratic congressman
from Iowa. will speak. and Friday Hon.
Lafayette Young will speak.
Tuesday there will be a farmers
parade and during the week at inter-
walls there will be athletic fetes and
other amusements. The banks are all
to close each noon during the week and
mercantile establishments will close
part of the time during the week so
that the festivities will be entered into
on big scale.
While the rest of the state is giving
its attention almost exclusively to the
| Cannon feature of the Homecoming, the
people of Knoxville are considering
that merely as one of the features of a
big holiday week Political significance
of Cannon's visit is lost sight of by the
people of Knoxville in the midst of the
elaborate preparations for the big cele-
bration.
1t is generally taken for granted that
/ it is more than possible for Speaker
Cannon to say things tomorrow TO
which Senator Cummins on the day
following will be forced to reply. In
this case it is taken as more than nat
ural that Lafe Young. who has been
attempting to whitewash Cannon and
supply him with wings in the hopes of
persuadng the people to throw roses
at him instead of brickbats, will feel
called upon to close the argument with
the Simon Pure standpat doctrine.
