This is the second of series on anec-
dotes on "Uncle Joe'' Cannon S career
in congress. He was one Of the few
men who spurned- all efforts Of his
friends to make him President, as in
this story.
BY LAURENCE NJ. BENEDICT
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, May 9.-Uncle Joe
Cannon was the man who said he
"would rather bq speaker than presi-
dent
He stuck to that creed through many
presidential elections when he was
urged to be a candidate. Cannon al
ways contended that the offieeSof presi-
dent should seek the man, and he never
could make himself believe that the
majority of Republican voters in the
country would like to see him as their
standard bearer.
In 1908, the strongest effort was
made to get Uncle Joe to become pres
idential aspirant, and in spite Of his
protests 66 votes were cast for him in
the Republican National convention.
When the balloting first started, some
one asked Cannon if he through he d
be nominated.
"No,' he said, "but they could go
further and do worse, and they probably
will.
Before that convention, friends urg-
ing Cannon to make fight for the
nomination, told him that already mil
lions of Cannon buttons had been dis
tributed, and were being worn, over the
country. =.

ANTONlTO HAS ROBRERY
AND DARING JAIL BREAK

Jose Resos was shot and danger
ously wounded and Luis Gonzales ID
at large as q result Of = jail break
at Conejos At $3.50 o'clock Friday
evening. Another prisoner by the
name OF Hayes escaped with Resos
and Gonzales, but after running .
short distance returned to the Jail
and gave himself up. George
Ortega. another prisoner pretended
to be asleep and took no part In the
jail break.
The affair took place when the
Jailor. Ben Martinez. opened the
cell to put food in for the mems
supper. The prisoners pOunced up
on him, knocked him down and fled
over his PROSTATE body. Martinez
soon recovered consciousness and
fired upon the fleeing prisoners
shooting Resos through the lung.
Ortego. Resos and Gonzales were
held for trial on the charge of rob-
bing u freight car. Hayes Is An al
legged deserter from the United
States Army. The robbery with
which the three first named were
charged was discovered Tuesday
morning OF last week, when q con-
ductor missed a dozen eggs which
he had purchased In AntOnito and
left on q truck while he made up
his train. says the Antonito Ledger.
The station agent had noticed Jose
Martinez and Jose Resos lounging
about and decided they might have
taken the eggs. He secured q con-
stable and went to resort that was
the well known rendezvous OF dis
reputable characters, and as they
entered the house. the hall door wa.
slammed in their faces. The con-
stable opened the door and found
the room strewn with shoes which
Martinez and Resos were packing In
o trunk.
Special agent Bird. OF the Rio
Grande, District Attorney J. n.
johnson and Sheriff Senon Maestes
went to Antonito to work on tho
case. and after considerable difficult
ty Ito pairs Of shoes were found.
Jose Martinez made . confession,
and later Resos and Gonzales told
the whole story OF the theft Of cases
of shoes and box of calendars from
u freight car while the crew were
switching. The freight stolen was
for delivery At Dulce. n. NJ. which
accounts for the theft not being dis
covered earlier.
Ortega was suspicioned In connec-
tiOn with the recent express robbery

NAY ERECT NEW COUNTY
HIGH SCHOOL IN SPRING

Saturday the directors Of the Rio
0rande County High School met to
elect = director to fill q vacancy
caused by the expiration OF H. o.
Wsgner's term of office. G. l.. Lill-
pop being elected. The representa-
tives from the districts expressed
themselves AZ being pleased with the
county high school. and decided that
It would not be advisable to try to
build = new high school building
this year. but considered at the
present rate Of progress the county
high school would be practically out
OF debt. making 1t possible to build
next spring.
Representatives were present
from Districts No. 1, 15, Is. 10. and
consolidated district No. 8. At .
previous meeting they had consid-
cred the question OF erecting a new
high school building. but the school
law provides that q county high
school must be organized In May
previous to beginning operations In
September. This necessitates oper-
ating the school without available
when the taxes are collected. the
levy for maintenance being made
In November. or nearly whole
school year. In view of this fact
better to postpone building for q
time as operating without available
funds adds to the expense OF main
tainance.
The committee is very well pleas
ed with the county high school,
which furnishes transportation for
number of the students, and that
the rural districts take advantage
OF the opportunity offered, is shown
by the fact that 10 of the graduat-
ing class of 2l this spring were
from the outlying districts. During
the present year it has been pos
sible to pay off many Of the regis
tered warrants. and when the Ia.
levied Is paid In all except about
$1,000 OF the first years expense
warrants which amounted to $751;
900. will be paid. The committee
decided that by deferring the build
ing this year. by another year the
county high school would be fin
sncially able to erect 4 building OF
which the patrons might be proud.
