ncle Joe” Cannon Gets ovation in House Like Hero

“Uncle Joe" Cannon, of Illinois,

down the center aisle

lerl-laUve hall In the world recently amid a heartfelt acclaim such as is accorded only to heroes, record breakers and champions. He was of that in the mind? of score? person? who crowded the galleries and in the eciogistlc expression? of those speakinic for "epresentatlres of 110. 000.000 American people. He hardly appeared a veteran forty-three years, nine months and tweoty-flTe days service in the House of Representatives He had exceeded by a day the recor dof Justin Smith

Morrill, of Vermont.

He was a rare picture to behold, his erect carriage and hlr. Arm step scarcely betraying t -at he was In bis eighty-fifth year. Probably his fine white hair and historic beard alone revealed to the average spectator in the gallery that he was In the House long before they ever saw the light day—before there wen any telephones. any airplanes and when General Grant arms President. "T ncle Joe” seemed entirely at home. He laid his manuscrip on the tai’e for a moment and looked about. The k^ptaiuse subsided, be turned -lightb. spat on the floor back of him and began to speak. His voice not as strong a? used to be. but it

steady and dear.

I "I realise that it is a rather long itme that I have been here, but it has not seemed long." he said, "for time never drags in the House, and the realisation of years that have come and cone comes to me only when I look into the faces of my colleagues and

note th’ changes.

"Tbe year 1871 was a memorable one in many respects. Vesuvius had a violent eruption that year, and General Sherwood and 1 were elected to the House There were other happenings—the organisation of the German Umpire and the French republic, the emancipation of slaves in Pcrto Rico, the connection of Australia with the rest of the world by cable, the great Boston Are and the Geneva award of tbe Alabama claims, but these rented the world :.t large, while the election of my 'riend and colleague. General Rherv ood and myself was p--r-sonai and I am glad he was here with r« to to share with me the doubtful honor of older statesmen. “Speaker Gillett and Mr. Clark were approaching the polls that year." be said, “and Jim Mann, at sixteen, trying to decide whether he would be a farmer or a lawyer Rainey and Mondell were beginning to figure life in percentages and the ambitions of Claude Kitchin and Nick Longworth at the age of three were centered about their first pants.” Admitting that he had be n in Congress off and on longer than other members, Mr. Cannon declared he not the veteran in continuous service. “Gillett. Clark. Munn. Butler. Green, of Massachusetts; Moon and Sims Vnntk with me In that line." he addd. '•pecan o I had two vacations which I did not seek and those four years were the longest years that have intervened since I first came to WashingHe made reference to other members of the House, pointing out that that more than 100 among them had nc< been born when be entered the House. His brief address w?s concluded with ? gracious bow. “I thank you." he said quiteiy. ”1 thank you with all my heart."
