honors and plenty cf the goods which madu
Milwaukee famous served to assuage the
thirst of the merrymakers.
While Chef Mitchell and his "kitchen me
chanics" were preparing the royal feast

registering close to the century mark and
several big campflres, over which the flshi
and other edibles were being cooked, were
getting their good work in, a program of
rports and an alleged base bull game ware
pulled off.

a member of the Council Bluffs lodge, who
is a perfect Adonis in both feature and
form, carried off the prise for the hand
somest Eik at the fishbake. As a result

The petition asserts that the liabilities
of the company are $5,600,000 and place
the assets at 18,000.000. The troubles of
the company ara alleged to be due In
a large measure to an Inadequacy of cap
ital, coupled with the financial depreaslon
at last fall. The bill asserts that the
company Is unable to meet its obliga
tions. Coincident with the receivership pro

attorney representing the Glrard National
bank of Philadelphia on a claim for $13,
000. This amount Is alleged to have been
obtained from the bank by means of
fraudulent misrepresentations. In a state
ment made by W, V. Booth, president of
the company, the receivership is de
clared to have been rendered necessary

Statea.
DANVILLE, 111.. Sept. 11.-Speaker J.
G. Cannon last night opened the campaign
for re-election to congress In his home
town. Almost his entire address of nearly
two hours was devoted to the labor ques
tion. He paid hia respects to Samuel Go pi
pers, president of the American Federation
of Labor, who spoke here on Labor day
and attacked Mr. Cannon, inviting union
workingmen to vote against him.
Mr. Cannon plainly said he would never
vote In congress for tha boycott and some
other things demanded by Gompers, in
eluding an anti-Injunction law that would
make fish of one and fowl of another.
Mr. Cannon waa greeted by an audience of
6,000. He was escorted from his home to
the theater by the Cannon Escort club, an
organisation that has taken an active part
In every campaign here for twenty years.
Speaker Cannon said In part:
I appeal from Mx. OomDers" sttemniaH
domination of myself and others In con
gress. Especially, I appeal to that great
body of fair-minded men, unionised for
tne bettering or tnelr condition, who would
scorn to ask legislation for themselves dif
ferent from that which applies to all other
cuiiena.
Mr. Qompers haa heretofore waged his
war against indlvlduls. but now ha seeks
virtue of his reat enwer over the non
partisan organisation of which he Is head
to place Ha membership in the attitude of
voting ror ana supporting Mr. Bryan,
against Air. rait, ana, in tne event of Mr,
Gompers success, the republic Is to be
brought uroder the domination of Mr.
Byan's policies, which I believe to be de
structive to the best Interests of the Ameri
can people. ,
Mr. Cannon then referred to his opponent
Mr. Bell, and noticed that Mr. Bell ap
proved Mr. Gompers in order to gain the
labor leader's support. Mr. Cannon then
turned to hia support of the especial friends
of labor. He pointed out that John Sharp
Williams had said that a party's record
consisted not alone of its platform declare.
tlons, but of Its actions. Mr. Cannon asked
what the democratic party had done for
labor. He said that of the statutes for the
benefit of- labor, the most had been jstssed
when the republicans were in control, lie
cited mar.y labor laws passed by the i
publicans.
Look to the Record.
If the working man wants ii further
lilustruUou, said Mr. Cannon, tus to where
liihor laws nave ueen enucted let him go
over laDor legislation or our slates. He
will rind tnem must errective where re
publlcuns have been In control. It fit
from the south that some of the com
plaints of convict labor conflicting with
tree laDor, or peonage, or tack or laws
fjr laborers, or long uours for tha laborer,
will-out regulation, and also of child la
bor. If the democratic party snotild
come into control of the federal govern
ment It would be the members from the
south who would control the democratic
rarly In the huune and senate. Just as
since the civil war. There has not
been for many years a democratic speaker
who did not coiau from the soutu and
there will not be a democratic epesker
In the near future vliuae election will
not bo dictated from the south. This Is
not said for the purpose of drawing
lectional lines, but to show that a demo
cratic congress wlil leKislate in harmony
with the views of the majority in ma
jority caucus and that majority from the
lOUtll.
Organized labor has Its strength In thu
north and west and it has secured legis
lation an already enacted by the repuoil
ean party, nation and state. If organ
ised labor ucceptsd the profeosed friend
ship of the democratic party as genuine
It will need appeal to democrats In con
gress, who give much heed to the ap
peals of labor at home in the south where
irganlxed labor has never been Influential
enough to procure satisfactory laws.
Ilryaa and His Heirship.
Mr. Cannon then took up the claim of
Mr. Bryan to the heirship to the political
republican administration. Hu was
amaxed that Mr. Bryan could find any
similarity between himself and President
Roosevelt. He went on to point out the
various great and good tilings that Roose
velt had stalled or finished during hi
administration and pointed out that Bryan
had been opposed to Mr. Roosevelt j on
every issue that had arisen In this coun
try. He said that Mr. Roosevelt had ever
been distinguished by hlj nervous energy
la doing things, while Mr. Bryan had
fought the dragons of his own hallucina
tion as valiantly as any knight of olj
and been aa devoted a crusader as Don
Quixote, but he had never shown any in
herited qualities that would justify bis
