UNCLE Joe QUITS
Veteran Congressman VIII Not
Again Be Candidate.
Intends to Retire Is Declaration
Made by Cannon.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Uncle Joe
Cannon, oldest member of the house,
announced today he would not be a
candidate for reelection as repre-
sentative from the Eighteenth Illinois
district.
The former speaker announced his
intention to retire from politics in an
eleven-word statement which read:
81 am not a candidate for election
to the Sixty-eighth congress"
Reports have been current for some
time that he would seek another term
but in reply to inquiries, Mr.. Cannon
always declared he had not made up
his mind as to his plans. The Hi
nois representative, one of the most
picturesque and widely known figures
in congress. will be Sc years old next
May Z. He is serving his twenty-third
term as member of the house, dur
ing eight years of which he was
speaker.
While Mr.. Cannon in his statement
gave no reason for his announced in
tention of retiring from public life,
close friends declared that he had
made the decision in the belief that
his health and age made a less strenu-
Gus life advisable. He is expected to
retire to his home in Danville, Ill,
after serving out his present term.
Il am going back to Danville to
pass the remainder of my days after
my present term in congress expires,
said Cannon. II have business inter
ests there that I have neglected. At
my time of life, think it better to
retire from strenuous work of the
house"
Cannon's announced intention of
not entering the Republican primaries
at Danville, III, as candidate for
the Sixty eighth congress came like a
bombsehll in Washington, where he
has 70 iar nd Taint
figure for a half a century.
| He was first elected as member of
| the house in 1873, and has served al
| most continuously ever since.

This decision reached by the admin

ton soon to be urged upon congress
by President Harding. The president
and his cabinet are anxious that con-
gress enact q law without delay TO

between Secretary of State Hughes,
Attorney General Daugherty and Cos.

custodian.
President Harding has been in
/ formed by his advisers on the ques-
ton that provisions of the peace reso-
! luton gives sufficient authorization
for his government to hold the seized
property until provision has been
made for the satisfaction of all claims
against Germany.
