Colonel Frank Lowden Declares "Uncle Joe" Is Logical Successor. Chicago , June 15. That Speaker Jo seph G. Cannon will bo nominated to the presidency by the republican party and that he will be elected is the opin ion of Congressman Frank O. Lowden of Oregon county. Col. Lowden characterizes Speaker Cannon * as "neither a radical nor a reactionary , but just a republican , " Ho regards Mr. Cannon as the logical successor of President Roosevelt , and adds that he has yet to meet the man who will oppose the sending of a solid Cannon delegation to the next nation al convention. In an Interview Col. Lowden said : "It Is as certain as anything can bo that President Roosevelt will not ac cept the nomination to succeed him self. Men who three months ago be lieved that ho would bo compelled to accept the nomination are now of the opinion that under no circumstances will bo accept a renominatlon. Ho has taken every occasion to reiterate the dec'iratlon ho made on the night of election , 1901. The people of the country , who have never seen anything lir.tho president's record which would 'inflilco them to bellovo that it Is easy to coerce him , have taken him at his ward in this matter. They will insist that tlio republican convention carry out his policy with reference to the great measures which have become laws , regarding those corporations which are engaged In Interstate com merce. "Tho questio nthcn arises as to who Is the logical successor to Hoosovelt. Hcmcmber that so far as legislation accomplished during the last four years Is concerned President Roosevelt - volt would have been powerless with out the speaker of the house , In the popular mind the name of Cannon must be associated with these- great measures next to that of Roosevelt. "It has been suggested by some of the tariff revisionists that his stand- pattism was against him. But the pol icies of the republican party were not made by Mr. Cannon , but by repub lican national conventions. There are many evidences that there will be ti strong demand in the next convention for a revision of the tariff with the adoption of the principle of a maximum and minimum tariff. The only body In the world authorized to determine this question will bo the next republican convention. "Just what the tariff plank will bo must bo settled by the delegates them selves. That It will bo based upon the principle of protection no ono who Is familiar with the hlstoiy of the party can doubt. If that convention shall de clare for revision , with the maximum and minimum tariff , docs anyone doubt that Cannon , if nominated and elected president , will carry out that policy in the utmost good faith ? With him a party pledge is a rule of con duct to be rigidly observed. ' 'It is said that his ago is against him. It might ho so regarded If ago were measured only by years. If , how- "or , the test Is physical and mental fof. , tfv niul endurance , Joseph G. Can- So 'V , s hardly reached middle age. " ° /0 < T RAILWAY COMMISSIONER WIL LIAMS MAKES ATTACK.

CHARD NEAR8 END , POINTING OUT DISCREPANCIES Attorney for Defense Assails Testi mony and Theory of State Resting Upon It Witness Tells' of Plot to Kidnap Paulson Children , llolHu , Ida. , Juno 13. The defense cnriled the cross examination ot Har ry Oichard down to the actual erliio ) charged against William 1) . llaywood the murder of Frank Stoununhorg mill , UH It piogreHHed , assailed the testimony and the theory of the statu resting upon It. Counsel for the de fense directed their uflorts to an at tempt to cloud the earlier purposes and inovenuntH of Orchard with un certainty and Indcfliiltoiicss. Then they emphasized tlio abandonment of all crtort to kill alter On haul llrst traced Stomicnhcrg to a hotel In Ilolsu inil with a skeleton key had gained uitranee to the veiy mom In which the governtiuriih living Hero they delayed for a motmnt U > prove that Orelnird twice wiote and onie tele phoned to Hill ICastoily at Silver City to uigu him to come and Join in the ( rime , and the direct Implication was that Oichard was endeavoring to In velgle another fodciatton man Into the crime , which would bring dlHcredit and dishonor to the organization Plot to Kidnap Paulson Children. Then the Stcuitonlu rg crime was tumporurlly thrust Into the back ground anil the witness was carried over ills long Journey Into northern Idaho , and his crimes there , Including the dark plot to kidnap and hold for ransom the Paulson children , were forcefully emphasized. Orchaid swore that David Coates , former lieutenant governor ol Colorado and then a pub lisher In Wallace , Ida. , first suggested the kidnaping to I'etiibonc ami him self at Denvi.r Paulson , 0111:0 : n poor minor , had made a fortune In the Her cules mine , In which Orchard held an Interest when the property was value less , and It was believed that If his children were stolen he would "come through with $50,000 or $00,000 In ransom. " Orchard said that when he went to northern Idaho ho got Jack Simp- kins to come In on the plot , and to gether they went to Coates to renew the scheme. Coates , who was In court , was asked to stand up for Identlllcatlon , and facing him , Orchard said he was the man. Orchard was then asked If ho had not himself proposed the crime to Coates , who Immediately rebuffed him , and If Jack Slmpklns had not warned Paulson the mlnuto he heard of the plot. Orchard denied both sug gestloiiH , reiterating his first story insisted that Coates had consented to stay in the plot ami handle the money that they hoped to get from Paulson Series of Mean Crimes. Then the defense showed the wit ness in the commission of n series of mean crimes and reduced to poverty. In which he had to resort to a pawn shop , borrowing and theft to live for a long period. First he pawned ssmo jewelry and guns. This brought him $25 or $3 ' . Then with n man named Cunningham , whom ho said Vincent St. John had recommended to him as tafo and trl d , he discussed n projecV to give Cunningham the old Peabody bomb , which he still had in his trunk , for use by Cunningham on some non union men that were at the Tiger and Poorman mine. Then he accepted the hospitality of Paulson's home , at tha very time he was plotting to steal the Paulson children. After that , with Jack Slmpklns. he broke Into the Oregon gen railway station. They were after a trunk full of jewelry samples , but instead got a trunk full of shoe sain- pics. Next he tapped a cash register at Burke for $30 or $40. It was a long period of crime and poverty and hard luck , anil , summing it up , the defense wanted to know why , If he were In Idaho on n mission of murder for Haywood , Meyer and Pcttlbone , and with unlimited credit from them , ho did not send to them for mon > money instead of borrowing and stealing. Orchard replied that he did send a letter to Meyer at Butte and got $100 , hut he did not send for more because he was temporarily off the Steunenberg murder errand and away from where Steunonberg lived , and ho did not want to send for more money until he could show that he was back to work. Denies Personal Enmity. Lastly there came a showing that Orchard had borrowed $500 from Paul son , whose children he had gone north to steal , on the strength of a fraudu lent story that he was going to Los Angeles to sell mining stock ( or Coates , and that this was the money that actually paid his expenses when he wont back to Caldwell on the final mission of murder. Swiftly reviewing his meetings with his old partners , who had meantime become rich , the defense asked the witness If , disap pointed and angered at his own hard luck in selling out the Hercules mine , when Steunenberg sent troops Into north Idaho , he had not suddenly de rided to borrow enough money from Paulson to take him to Caldwell , whore ho would kill the man whom he blamed for his misfortunes. Orchard denied that this was his motive. The earlier part of the day was con- THE CONDITION THE WEATHER Temperature for TwentyfourHour * .

It Is said ho will later be tried by the Salvadorean government.
