RETENTION OF CANNON
GOOD FOR DEMOCRACY
He is Almost Certain TO Be An Issue in the Con-
GreSSiOnaI Elections in 1910.

Not q few believe the retention Of
Cannon as Speaker Is one OF the best
things that could have happened so
far as the Democrats are concerned.
his success en- winning over the I'm
surgents" Is taken 70 mean that he
dominates the Republican party.
which includes President Taft particu-
Iarly. In the next Congressional cleo

Unless Uncle Joe changes wonderful
~ he Is expected 20 make enough cam
paisn material for the Democrats to
enable them 20 win In a walk.
The fight over the change Of the
rules developed a peculiar situation.
More Republicans wrote letters TO
their Congressman protesting against
Uncle Joe than Democrats. The aver
age Republican voter. particularly In
ehe West. considers Speaker Cannon
q weight on the party. and their
nmazement was unbounded when they
heard that President Taft was In real
ity working hand In hand with Cannon
instead Of being AT outs" with him.
as was made 10 appear previous 60
election. AS a result there Is fast de-
veloping an anti-CannOn faction of no
small proportions.
Thousands of anti-CannOn ietters
have poured into the Congressional
pOstOfIice since the adjournment OF
che sixtieth Congress. BY far the
largest percentage OF these letters
we're written By Republicans OF con
siderable prominence In their home
districts. Here Is q letter that Is a
fair sample OF the average anti-Can-
non communication. II was signed by
a delegation Of prominent business
men Of Quincy. mn, and duplicates.

But howl of dissent from the throng brought him up sharply. His face went white, and for a moment he feared the malevolence that stared at him from all sides. He looked ire quently in the direction of the distant chateau. Knives slipped from many sashes. Won Blitz was screaming with insane laughter, pointing his finger at the discredited American. While they shouted and cursed, his gaze never left the cleft in the hills. He did not at tempt to cry them down. The effort would have been in vain. Suddenly a wild, happy light came into his anx- ,ious, searching eyes. He gave mighty shout and raised his hands, command ing silence.
 Selim, clinging to his side, also had seen the skyrocket which arose from the chateau and dropped almost in stantly into the wall of trees.
 There was something in the face and voice of the American that quelled the riotous disorder.
 You foolsv' he shouted. 'Take warning! I have told you that I would not turn the guns of England and America against you unless you turned against me. I am your friend, but by the great Mohammed you'll pay for my life with every one of your own if you resort to violence. Listen! Today learned that my life was threatened. I sent a message in the air to the nearest battleship. There is not an hour in the day or night that I or the people in the chateau cannot

 Won Blitz 1eaped upon a platform and shouted madiy: Fools! Don't believe him! He cannot bring der ships here! He lies, he lies! He'- .
 At that moment a shrill clamor of voices arose in the distance, the cries of women and children Chase's heart gave a great bound of joy. He knew what it meant.
 Chase pointed his finger at Won Blitz and shouted:
 '.I can't, eh? There's British war ship standing off the harbor now, and her guns are trained'-
 But he did not complete the astound- ing, stupefying sentence. The women were screaming:
 'The warship, the warship! Fly. fyy'
 In second the entire assembIage was racing furiously, doubtingly, yet fearfully, toward the pier. Won Blitz and Rasula shouted in vain. They were left with Chase, who smiled tri- umphantly upon theip ghastly faces.
 Gentlemen, they are not deceived. There is a warship out there. You came near to showing your hand to- night. Now come along with me, and I'll show my hand to you. Rasula, you'd better draw in your claws. You're entitled to some consideration. But Won Blitz! Jacob, you are stand ing on very thin ice. I can have you shot tomorrow morning."
 Won BIitz sputtered and snarled ''It Is all lie! 1t is a trick!' He would have drawn his revolver had not Ra- sula grasped bis arm. The native law yer dragged him off toward the pier, half doubting his own senses.
 Just outside the harbor, plainly dis tinguishable in the moonlight, lay a great cruiser, her searchlights whip ping the sky and sea with long white lashes.
 The gaping, awestruck crowd in the street parted to let Chase pass through on his way to the bungalow. His man. ner was that of a mediaeva1 conqueror. He looked neither to right nor to left.
 Its more like a Chpistian Endeavor meeting than it was ten minute ago" he was saying to himself, all the time wondering when some reckless unbe- liever would hurl a knife at his back. He gravely winked his eye in the di- rection of the chateau. Good old Brittt" he muttered in his exultation.
