what about the issue OF Cannon

what about the issue OF Cannon
and Cannonism?" was asked.
That is going to be taken care Of. and
you can count upon il. 1t is II good pre-
dction to make ;hat speaker Cannon will
announce, long before tho campaign for
the election Of n new Congress begins
that he will no. again be 81 candidate
for speaker.
where. then will he the issue you
speak of? 1t will not exist. IT Is Upon
this basis that the warning elements
or the Republican party can be most
easily brought together. and that is what
is going to happen"
CAH INSURGENTS BE PTACATED?
This republican believed that the effect
Of tho battle Of last week would be
advantageous to all administration iegis-
lation now in Congress. He expressed his;
opinion that all republicans would now
stand solidly for the Taft program and
that the party pledges would be fully
redeemed
In the meantime, all these various
coniecturcs of party scers must await
the verdict Of time.
Much depends upon whether tho in
surgent republicans, who lined up and
prevented the crushing defeat OF Speaker
| Cannon and his ousting from tho chair
only to be rewarded last night with de-
nunciaton at the speakers hands, car
be placated.
1t was even stated to-day by a promi
nent member OF the House that secon(
assault might occur upon the speaker
to remove him from the chair, and !
| was pointed out that the insurgent
who stood by the speaker might mex
time be leading the fight to down him.

mcrman's last b.E,uous marriage. which
he entered into in Brooklyn after swear
,rg before the deputy city clerk that he
vas single when he applied for a mar
rage license.
The only reason why zimmerman did not
answer n bigamy charge when called to

Jury was necessary TO get him from Can

C;reenyille. Me, March GA very OLD
Indian tradition asserts that all hun
moose OF eastern and northern Maine
make iournevs to the west shores or
Moosehead lake at the close OF tho year
for the purpose Of casting their an tlers.
Though the story has passed for fiction
among the Caucasian residents. there are
not q few old hunters and woodsmen who
believe 1t. and relate tales about the
abundance OF moose antlers among the
maple woods e5 miles north Of this
village.
Charles Anance, a halfbreed. says that
no llled two boxcars with discarded
moose antlers six years ago and shipped
them to New York. where cutlery manu-
tacturers purchased the lot for knife
handles. He cleared $500 from u weeks
work.
The first white man who used his
knowledge on the habits OF moose to
advantage was old Cy blanchard, father
of Cyrus Blanchard. member OF
Governor Cobb's council. The old man
was the owner Of vast timber tracts In
Piscataquis county. and when the land
was sold of to settlers the town OF
Blanchard was named for him.
As he grew old he built big house
in the north part OF the town and sur
rounded It with high stone wall
browning the slate coping with dense
fence OF moose antlers. all Of which
had been picked up among the woods
west OF tho lake. About fifty years ago
when star route mail line was put or
between Blanchard and Monsoon. a post
