CANNON SURE ' TO J CHOSEN He Will Once More Rule Supreme as Speaker of National House. HIS JOB SOUGHT BY OTHERS

SEVERAL. CONGRESSMEN INCLUDING BURTON, FOWLER AND TAWNEY WOULD TAKE PLACE "LAME DUCKS" NEED AID.

Special to PalladiumWashington, Nov. 7. It is the judgment of members of congress who have cwme to town since election that "Uncle Joe" Cannon's re-election as speaker of the house cannot be pre- ' vented. In other words, the republican majority in the house la larger than the number of anti-Cannon republicans; at least larger than the number of .republicans who have sufficient backbone to stand out and make a fight against the speaker. Whether there will be any organized attempt by republicans to defeat Cannon remains to be seen. There probably will be. as not a few of the republican members-elect are pledged to the constitutencies to vote against him. There are a number of republicans willing to make the race against Cannon, provided there is any prospect of success. Representative Fowler," of New Jersey, chairman of the committee on banking and currency, has announced himself a candidate for the speakership, but his candidacy is not likely to be taken seriously by a large number of his colleagues. Indeed, if the Cannon forces control the organization of the next house, Mr. Fowler is very likely to lose his chairmanship. Two other speakership possibilities are Theodore B. Burton of Ohio and Judge Walter Smith of Iowa. Unless Mr. Burton should be elected the successor of Senator Foraker he would stand good chance, of being the "insurgent candidate for speaker

should the Cannon opposition go X.6

the extent of naming a candidate. It is known that Mr. Burton harbors speakership aspirations, and were there any promising prospects of his succeeding Cannon he very likely would get out of the senatorial race. Should neither the speakership nor the senatorship come to him, it Is accepted belief he will have a place in Taft's cabinet or get a desirable diplomatic post. Tri connection with the speakership the name of "Jim" Tawney of Minnesota, at present chairman of the house committee on appropriations, has been m"ch discussed lately. Ab Tawney is a hard and fast Cannon roan and one of the present speaker's most trusted lieutenants, it is not to be supposed that he would become a party to any attempt to overthrow Cannon. But should it appear that Cannon could not be elected, Tawney would be a very acceptable compromise candl- , date.

The New York legislature being safely republican, there is going to be a mighty interesting fight for the senatorial seat now held- by Thomas C. Piatt. If the Roosevelt influence were sufficiently potent to dictate the selection of the next senator from. New York, the choice undoubtedly would fall to Elihu Root, secretary of state. But, while the president was able to force the party leaders in New York to renominate Governor Hughes, there is considerable doubt whether he could

control the legislature. When the legislature meets, Mr. Roosevelt will be very nearly at the end of his term or office and about to depart on a year's absence from the country. The legislature, therefore, is likely to insist upon making its own choice for senator. If Mr. Root Is the president's first choice for the senatorship, undoubtedly has last choice is former Governor I Prank S. Black, who has been one of the most caustic critics of the administration. Yet Black is a candidate for senator and will have a considerable following In the legislature. Whitelaw Reid, ambassador to Great Britain, also is understood to aspire to Piatt's seat, and among others "mentioned" are Timothy L. Woodruff and J. Sloat Fassett.

When Judge Taft becomes president one of his first duties will be to care for a considerable number of "lame ducks' who were victims of some of the mysterious phases of the election. Quite a number of premlnent party workers, having been repudiated by their constituents, will be relief. The friends of some are already busy pitching out desirable berths for them. For instance, Representative "Charlie Landis, of Indiana, who was badly mangled at the polls, Is being boomed for public printer. Landis is chairman of the house committee on printing, is a practical printer himself, and knows a lot about the working? of the big government print shop. He will have a lot of congressional support for the place. A twice-lamed duck Is James T. McCleary. After long and rather conspicuous service In the house, he was

defeated two years ago. President

Roosevelt felt sorry and appointed him second assistant postmaster general.

McCIeary thought he saw opportunity

to regain his congressional seat, resigned the job and made the race again

this year. Again he was defeated. Un

doubtedly his friends will endeavor to

have him cared for, but the new administration may not be able to see it that way, especially as Mr. McCleary is a tariff stand-patter of the most pro

nounced type.

Washington was much"lnterested by

the news that Governor Cummins of

THE THE A TER

Servant in the House Gennett. Those who wish to understand In advance the symbolic "meaning of "The Servant In the House." which will be the Thanksgiving offering at the Gennett theater, will be interested in the following explanation written by its author: "The big symbolic meaning of the play which I "wish to convey," says Charles Rann Kenedy, "Is, Christ as the touchstone of life and the solution of all human difficulties, religious, social and personal; not merely by the inspiration of sentimental fancies about him, but by the impelling to deeds that carry out His will. I have tried to bring out the symbolism of Manson's personality more emphatically than any other in the play. The jam episode at the beginning of the first act is a theatrical trick utilized for the conveyance of a paychological subtlety. It is used to catch the attention of the audience, and create an atmosphere of mysticism. In the scene when Mary first suspects Manson's identity, will be found one of the symbols used to show that Manson is indeed the son of man. ''Who are you?" she asks, with the dawn of knowledge shining from her face. "I am," he begins, when the sound of a bell from the church checks hhs speech. It is the sanctus bell that echoes the chimes in the hand of the acolyto as the host is elevated. Manson's eyes turn to the alter beyond the door. Then with deepened humility he answers her question "I am the servant in this house." An equally significant symbol lies in the fact that Mary is the only one who recognizes the bishop of Benares In Manson the Butler. Hers is the clear vision of innocent childhood. Remember the verse from the New Testament: 'Except ye become as little children ye cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. The symbol of the servant becoming master is quite obvious, as Is Manson's answer to the Bishop of Lancashire' southburst: 'If I could have my way with you, I would have you publicly whipped. I would visit you with the utmost rigour of the law. I would nail you up, air, for an example. 'I have encountered similar hostility before, my lord says Manson significantly replies, 'from gentlemen very like your lordship.' The Bishop of Lancashire' of course is Manson. The symbolism of his personality is shown by his use of every power for his own end, and the episode of the five pound note that recalls the buying and selling of Christ Also he is blind and deaf has eyes to see, but sees not; ears to hear, but hears not.' The symbolism of the drain that led to the cess-poll under the church is frequently misunderstood. It is not an attack upon the foundations of religion or established churches. It means that religion is' fettered by the mouldering coffins and decayed bones of the past; that we are not worshiping a dead Christ who once was, but a living Christ, eternaly present. Old ideas, old prejudices, dead statements, a greater veneration forthe forms of religion than for the practical application of Christ's teachings must be removed by the 'Drain Man.' It drives home the fact that many who loudly profess their faith in Christ are the worst of atheists, and only realize that truth when they are brought face to face with a spiritual crisis." Although this is the first appearance of the play in this city its reputation has preceded it. Critics in both the East and West have hailed it as a wonderful work of art and a fasinating stage story. One of the Chicago papers called it the most beautiful play of all ages, and a leading monthly magazine declared it to

be the best play written since the days of Shakespeare. Unlike most plays that strongly appeal to intellectual audiences, it is a simply told story; a modern comedy with a well defined vein of pathos. It differs from the conventional plays of the day, because it follows the Greek form of construction, having but one scene, and a continuous narrative. The action takes place in one morning, and the time of the play is the time of the story. Between the second and third, and the fourth and fifth acts, there is no Intermission. The curtain falls on the climax and rises immediately for the next scene.

Partello Stock Gennett. The following notice is taken from one of the New Castle papers and shows the worth of the Partello Stock company which opens a week's engagement at the Gennett theater on Monday night: "The Partello Stock company opened at the Alcazar last week for the remainder of the week and it is without question the best Stock company that has visited New

Vaudeville New Phillips. Any bill containing the feature, Tinkham and company, showing the ride for life in the motor cycle cage, would be a strong bill. This number has been secured by the New Phillips management by a special concession, and it promises to be the thriller of the season. The motorcycle .going at the rate of a mile a minute is a rare sight on the public highway, but at this theater, the machine will go that rate and higher on the stage. The other features on the bill are Hays and Rayfield, in a high class singing and novelty dancing number. This is said to be a very attractive feature. Burk's Musical Dogs, something that will please the children as well as the old folks, is also on the bill. Eddie Foyer, a comedian of great note, will be a strong drawing card. On paper the bill would seem to be the best that has been at the house this season.

Iowa Is to come to the senate. The advent of a new senator always is interesting at the national capital, and the interest is increased when the incoming man is of the Cummins type. The Iowa executive today is more widely known than a majority of senators, but, in the Washington point of view, no. man can be exactly giiaged until he has been measured by the senate standard.

His Glasses. He was wearing his first pair of glasses, and at first they afforded great relief, but at the end of a month there was a retrogression. Somehow, polish the lens as he would, the vision appeared to be weaker. So he went back to his oculist and said he thought the glasses "weren't strong enough.' The oculist stepped aside for a minute, thm handed his customer what apparently was another pair. Trying them drew forth the exclamation: "Why, these are much better! I can see now as well as when I flr9t wore my glasses. Then be was initiated into one of the little secrets of the trade. The oculist had merely cleansed each lens with, a little soap and water.

Retired Broker Attempts to Save Servant. New York, Nov. 7. Wrhile attempting to rescue a servant whom he thought had been overcome by smoke from a fire in his home, at 47 Greene avenue, Brooklyn, Arthur J. Keating, a retired broker, fell from the top story to the ground, fracturing his skull. He died later in the Cumberland street hospital. Keating's wife, three daughters and a son, witnessed the fall. One of the girls had previously rescued her mother from the burning building.

If All Candidates Wore White. The word "candidate" Is from the Latin "candidatns." Literally it means white robed, and it was thus called because in Rome those who sought office wore a glittering white toga. Fancy, if yon can, all our modern Americans dressed in accordance with their political ambitions. In some sections there would be no such thing as a dark suit of clothes. Washington would simply be one shining center of universal whiteness. Saturday Evening Post.

Sentence Might Have Been for Life had Me Had Book of Papers

The clerk at the cigar store handed him a package of smoking tobacco in exchange for his 5 cents, then he asked in a low tone, with a glance of suspicion over his shoulder, "got any cigarette papers?" The clerk sized him up closely and then replied, "nope." Finally securing a rice paper the man curled up comfortably in a chair, rolled his pill with machine-like perfection, ignited it and with a look of utmost content took a deep inhale from his "torch." He smoked in silence for a few minutes then casually remarked for the benefit of every one in the room, "Didn't know, did you, that I was the first man that ever served time in jail for violatin' the Indiana cigarette smokln' law, held to be unconstitutional about two er three years ago?" The man took another deep inhale and the "gang" eyed him with interest. "Hamilton is my name been here short time making hash at a bakery; but I'm goin to pull out this afternoon fer Plqua," continued the stranger, then he Interrupted himself again for another inhale. Finally he continued. "Couple of cops and a fly cop pinched me one afternoon in Indianapolis shortly after that cigarette law went Into effect They hauled me down to police court and the next morning the judge says 'seventy days for you

"I did have but when I got pinched the fly cop took pity on me and threw the book away. If he hadn't I suppose I'd have been sent up fer life. There is 480 papers in each book figure it out, kid.
