Uncle Joe’s' Daughter Popular.

While the insurgents ate fighting to drive Uncle Joe Cannon from the speakership of the bouse of representatives. their wives would feel very sorry to have Coyle Joe driven from Washington. They are fond of Helen Cannon, the speaker's daughter, and they frankly confess they do not wish to lose-such a charming woman. Of course the wives of the insurgents sympathize with their husbands and want to see them victorious, but they like Miss Cannon as a hostess. The speaker’s daughter has been one of the most modest and yet charmiijg entertainers in Washington for several seasons. She has managed to avoid all political disputes that sometimes get the women into disagreements and has been as cordial to the wives of the insurgents as to the wives of the standpatters.
