JUNGLE JOE" CANNON
OPPOSED BY SON
President Writes Letter Indorsine
o'Hair, Who Unseated Former
Speaker Of House.

President Wilson has joined in the
fight against the election to the House
of former Speaker Joseph G. Cannon Of
Illinois by writing a letter indorsing
Representative Frank T. O'Hair of TILL
nois, who defeated Mr.. Cannon at the
last election.
Mr.. Wilson has practically finished
his letter-writing campaign, sending
Endorsements to democratic candidates
in number of states. He has been
assured by the campaign managers that
the elections will result in democratic
majorities in the Senate and House.
but will continue to work as much as
possible for particular candidates.
In addition to the democratic sena-
torial candidates whom the President
has already publicly Endorsed, he is
giving his support to James H. Haw-
ley, in Idaho; s. E. Baldwin. in Con-
necticut; George A. Nicely, in Kansas;
w. f. Purcell. in North Dakota; Ed
ward Johnson, in South Dakota, and
James H. Moyle, in Utah. Special in
terest in other candidates may be
shown later.
So many members Of the Presidents
cabinet are out campaigning that the
regular cabinet meeting scheduled for
today was Cancelled, and it is probable
that no other cabinet meetings will be
held until after the election.

Violation Is Forbidden

A sweeping injunction, striking at
the very foundation Of the evil Of
shipping liquor from outside the
state into West Virginia, has been
granted by Judge Reynolds at Key
eer. 1t is the biggest victory the
drys have won. It promises to
make even more difficult the bring
ing of liquor into West Virginia if
generally applied and to create even
greater respect for prohibition legis-
lation.
The injunction granted by Judge
Reynolds enjoins the American Elk
press Co. and the Western Maryland
Railroad from handling any con-
signments Of liquor that may be con-
fiicting with the state prohibitive
laws, SO far as the jurisdiction Of
Judge REYNOLDS court extends.

Strange Human Foods

The Chinese get very palatable
food from the chrysalis of the silk
worm. The poor remove the envelope,
broil the chrysalis and eat it with salt
and pepper. In the homes of wealth,
however, the chrysalis is fried in lard,
butter or oil, and mixed with the
yolk of an egg. But the strangest of
all food Is the larvae of certain fly,
common in California and known as
the Ephydra. The flies are washed on
the shore In windows and can be
collected In bushel baskets. The In
dams gather them, dry them and
grow fat on them.
