CANNON FOR SENATOR.
Plan TO Side Track Uncle Joe in
Speakership Fight.


Washington, March 15.-Gossip at
the capitol for the past few days has
been to the effect that Speaker Can
non can secure the nomination for
United States senator from Illinois If
he desires it. According to the rumor,
deadlock over the selection of senator
from Illinois is due Indirectly to the
fight on the part of the insurgents in
the house and those opposed to Mr..
Cannon for the speakership.
1t has been said that Mr.. Cannon
would not accept the speakership if
the present rules are changed, but the
understanding has been that, in that
event Mr.. Cannon would take seat on
the floor of the house.
Mr.. Cannon who is 73 years old. has
a, notable career in the house, where he
has served almost continuously since
the Forty-third congress, beginning in
1873. He has been speaker for the past
three congresses.
In event Mr. Cannon should be elect
ed a senator the situation in the house
would become very interesting. Accord
ing to the custom of electing the Oldest
Bingham of Pennsylvania, who has
served in every congress since 1879
would be elected speaker. Mr.. Payne,
the Republican floor leader, is chair
which has framed the tariff. and this
arrangement might be advised by those
who would oppose his selection
Friends of Mr.. Cannon approached
regarding the rumor that the speaker
might be named by the Illinois legiS-
lature for the senatorship. declared
that they believe it would not be char
acteristic of Mr.. Cannon to accept the
nomination, which would compel him
to give up his fight against the lin
surgents" who desire to change the
rules of the house, which Mr.. Cannon
has upheld.

back-do you know I think that's
why they shot him from behind?
1.-THE law on reasonable doubt is a
good law. If you have a doubt of
their guilt tell you as the counsel on

against the law of Tennessee to go up
