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.

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

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.

they could get' hold of some of that
money It might save them a long walk

' As Cooke sat In a coach at the sta

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
