UNCLE JOE" TO RETIRE
AT THE END OF TERM

"Uncle Joe" Cannon, oldest mem
Der of the house, has announced he
would not be a candidate for re-
election as representative 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 re-
election to sixty-eighth congress"
The Illinois representative is one
of the most picturesque and widely
known figures in congress. He will
be SO years old next May z.
He is serving his twenty-third
term, during eight years of which
he was speaker.
While Mr.. Cannon gave no reason
for his announced intention to re-
tire, close friends declared he made
decision in the belief that health and
age made less strenuous life advis-
able.
He is expected to retire to his
home in Danville, H., after serving
out the present term.
