CISSXA PARK. Ill, Aua;. ! Sp- 'elat.) "Cncle Joe" Cannon today be- Kan what he expects will be his last rampalan for election to Congress from the district which he has repre aented for so many rears, and as i representative from which he has risen from the position of an obscure coun try lawyer to be one or the cotnmana Jna- naores In American even in world's politics. Speaker Cannon began his campaign for renomlnatlon here today wun speech to the old settlers of Iroquois County, assembled for their annual re union. His address was a description of the contrast between the old times and the new and his references to the great political questions of the day were Indirect. ThrouR-h It all ran a note of defiance to the forces that have already stripped him of much of his power and that are laying: plans to re lieve him of the last vestlara when Con gress reconvenes. Address Rreatliea Defiance. Declaring- that be did not "long- for the good old days" he Indicated that he would die as he .has lived a -stand patter" from the ground np. The per oration, the last two paragraphs of his address, was perhaps his most slxnlrt- cant utterance of the day. n dosing, he said: I may not see you attain In the nature of things. This Is probably the last ok! settlers' meetlns I will ever attend In the goodly county of Iroquois, bnt the craves of my forebears are in Indiana nd Illinois and my grave when I come to cross over will be found at Danville.

"And while Kanxaa will take care of Itself for two yeara to come, at least. b K -. i In Ink r - r rif it mm msm have taken care of it heretofore for the last 10 yeara of Its history." Speaker Gambols on Platform. Before going to the assembly grounds there was no Indication from the speak er's actions that be was about to an nnunce tlie rendition of his swan song. When the time for going to the assembly grounds was announced, he arose and rspered like a young lamb as h waited for the other members of the party to start. When the chairman announced .htm. he vaulted to the center of the plat form in one leap that would have done credit to a high achool athlete. Pushing- back the long sleeves of his Thlacit alpaca coat, he thrust his arms forward and gased earnestly Into the faces before him, msny of which he Knew well from previous hsrd-fought campaigns. Among the men In the audi ence were many who remembered when "Joe" Cannon made his flu run for Congress and tholr upturned counten ances held nothing but an expression of fympai liy and good will. This is a country' where land sells from il&i to IK an acre, where Demo crats are scarce as hens teeth and where m-urgency Is an unknown quantity. 4 Tariff Critics Rapped. In hia opening remarks he announced that he had not come to discuss politics, but ss he warmed up he took a few flings at the critics of the tsriff. the persons who believe that the railroads should be regulated by the Oovemment. the advo cates of conservation and the calamity hna-lem la general. "In the old days dressed hogs asold at fl. a hundred." he said, "and quinine was tM an ounce. Now you can get better qufnine for 55 cents an ounce. Sugar eUI at nearly a dollar a pound.

"Second The intention to introduce the bill forbidding the presence ot re ligious 'organisations was communi cated May :s to Cardinal Merry del Val. the irfipal secretary of state, who. at that time, agreed thereto, and who has not since denied that he did so.
