vnnn i -weni to congress 1 was an

, surgentism. There are about 18,000,000

two of them are exactly of the 'same
mind on all subjects. There was much
in . tij, air about Cannon. He Is a tall,
piatelj-xold fellow, 74 years of age, but
... a pretty active old fellow- for 74.
- "I probably -received some criticism
for the position I took, hut to us here,
it makes no difference whether Cannon
returns .to congress or not; that is left
, to his constituents. - There were, some
things In favor of Cannon that I could
not, reconcile, and among them was his
long tenure of office, which Indicates
that he must be a good , man. Every
, 'body vspoke. highly pf him,' even Pemo
, crats and insurgents paid him glowing
personal tributes. He la an honorable,
straightforward fellow, and at all ban
quets he was tendered ovations, equal
t to any president - " i
Calls Cannon Urns and Good." ' r
"I did not come here to praise Can
" non, hut, as V said before, , his long
tenure of office imbues us with the
belief that he Is true and good. Only
one man, Henry Clay, held the speaker--f-shlp

Anti-Cigarette League to Ask

Sets Pace for Others.
New Tork, July .21. "When women of
the beat families In the land openly
encourage cigarette smoking it Is no
wonder , that thousands of poor, silly
working girls are slaves to the habit.
They adopt It because they think it la
smart I shall appeal to Mrs. Alice
Roosevelt-Longworth snd Miss Eleanor
Sears, . as leaders among women, to
forego a habit that spreads havoc among
tnpse who can ill afford the tax on
health and intellect." '
Thus Miss Lucy Page Gaston today
announced the inauguration of a cam
paign In New York, to wipe out cigar
ette smoking among women. Miss Gas-
ten has devoted the greater part of her
life to fighting against those who ' dear
in cigarettes and has- been successful
In several states in , securing, the pas
sage of anti-cigarette laws.
To Writ to fiUss ' Sears.
' . Miss Gaston 'declared that the prac- i
tice of cigarette smoking among, women,
started with actresses, society women
and college girls. Now it has 'spread
to tha working girl, who thinks It Is
"smart."
"I shall write to Eleanor, Sears, Bos
ton society girl, whom I regard as the
spokeswoman for the cigarette smoking
women.'1 continued Miss 'Gaston. - "If
she Ignores -the letter I shall visit her
In personi-v"s.-',ij";'" -..j
