Danville. 111., Aug. 7. Without the blare of trumpets 'or roll of drums, but by gumshoe methods, the labor forces of the country are preparing silently to center their poll teal battle in this ocngresslonal district. For weeks the political ' lieutenants of President Samuel Compere, of the American Federation of Labor, have Infested this district, maklna Inquiries, con ducting Investigations, and analyzing the polltcal atmosphere. As a re sult, it Is declared that the signs are propitious and that another warfare will be waged, with the object of rele gating "Uncle Joe ' Cannon to private life. ' .. . The labor union politicians are not particular as to Cannon's successor. They would prefer a candidate favor able to unionism, but would .willingly accept a foe of labor. If thereby 8peaker Cannon could be made a per manent resident of Danville. In the eyes of oGmpers, the Danville states man is the biggest barnacle on the ship of state, and the command has gone forth that he must bo removed at all cost. There Is a big labor vote In this dis trict, and the union men declare mat the outlook for the defeat of Canmn Is more favorable than It ever was be fore. Republican polltcal leaders, however, scoff at 'the Idea that Cut non can possibly bs deflated, and as sert that Uncle Joe Is safe In his berth as long as he will accept It, apd that nothing short of death 01 voluntary retirement ca remove him from the political arena.

Cooke, -the New Tork broker, who was arrested In Baker City by the government officials on a charge bt conspiring to defraud the " United Slates, as he left the county Jail this . morning for. the jnetropolls on the other side of ho continent, ' Mr. Cooke was in the custody of " Clyde Nicholson, a deputy United States marshal. He has been Indicted by the New York authorities and Is being taken back to stand trial. During his confinement Mr. Cooke has been humming "Gve My Regards ,, to Broadway" a good deal. This morn ing he was quite chipper and pert he was about to start on a long Journey ' to give his regards to the great white way himself, personally. . Mr. Coke came out to Oregon In a private car. Forty persons were his guests.. He called Oregon the land of promise. Furthermore, he promised every one of his so-called guests 129 for every II that they Invested in his scheme. The '"guests" were from Elmlra, N. Y. Some of them are still In Baker City. They don't know exactly what to do. Uncle Sam will return Cooke to New York, but he has nothing to do with the others. - It has Just begun to dawn on them It has only been a month since Cooke was arrested that they have been stung. .

Now, they argue, ir they could get' hold of some of that money It might save them a long walk and any amount of worry. ' As Cooke sat In a coach at the sta tion this morning he hummed ''I don't care if I never come back." He said he learned this was Mr. McKlnley'e favorite humming tune when he was in the orient a long, long ways from America, but not near far enough away. ."'
