Returns are Mill incomplc e. but enough figures have been obtained to show that he will probably have a plurality of nt least IO.'OO. This estimated to be hi the deffercnt cotinties iu his district, as so lows: Vermilion, 6JMMI; iorqon's, 1,."<«): Kankakee. 2.000; Edgar. 700; Clark. 200. and Cumberland, 100. The result has been something of a surprise even to tln> friends of Cannon. The light made against him by v« loin church Organizations., the Anti-Sabx-n League, and orgjinlzcd labor, co-.’pled with the fact that the Democrats him for thc flrst time since 18113 a complete organization In this district, led the Republicans to lieifc.ve that I’nnnon’v plurality would not be over 3,000. In the heaviest union labor sections, however, Oanmm received as huge a vote •she ever received before, and tn s me wf them he made decided gains.
