Not since the celebrated tilt, or the celebrated report of a tilt between the President and Senator Foraker at a Grid Iron Club dinner last January -has there been so much talk of an un reported speech as the talk "of Untie Joe Cannon's unreported speech at a small dinner, or "banquet" when he was on his trip to his boyhood scenes down in North Carolina. It la said that it all "leaked out'', that Uncle Joe told the beys and their lady friends gathered around the festive board at Guilford that he believed that the South is right In its attitude, towards the negro. The Speaker's friends here, who, were with him In North Carolina, having been reported to say that Mr. Cannon .made no remarks which could be so construed, a little war of contra- Ullctlon and reiteration fills the air, and somebody, if Uncle Joe were a real sure enough President right now in stead of merely a "favorite son," who is "spoken of" for the Presidency, somebody, mlgbt run the serious risk of being elected to the Ananias Club. -.'AUTHORITYk FOR STATEMENT. A brief "dispatch from Raleigh, puoilsned here to-day giving the name. of O. E. Mendenhall, who presided at the banquet as authority for the state ment that Mr. Cannon certainly did make the remarks attributed to him, that ihe agreed wdth the white people of the South 4n their attitude toward colored brother and that the South em States were reaching the correct solution or the race problem, has caused a little flurry in the inner cir cles -of the Cannon boomers, who re allze the importance of making Uncle joe Keep .nis mourn snui on such a vexatious question as the race aues tlon. They 4eny that the race question was discussed at all at the little im promptu, "unreported" speech at Guilford and to substantiate this de nlal point to the fact that the wily Uncle Joe has an unvarying rule not to discuss lociil questions when he goes about over the country making ODservauons. on things' In general. NON-POLITICAL . SPEECH ? The fact of the business Is as the "Inner circle" of Cannon men say here, there never was a speech-mak lng occasion In the history of the country .when there was a greater determination on the part of the ora tor ot the occasion to avoid all cues tions of a political nature. Nov that, after, this determination, the words used In a five minute peech of ad vice to young men are twisted Into an expression of an opinion """which might cause the losing of the dele gates of the entire Southern States to Illinois' favorite eon, there is some little Inclination to be disgusted with somebody. Just before leaving Wash ington for North Carolina Speaker Can non remarked to a number of Wash ington correspondents at the', White House that he was at last going down to North Carolina to his birthplace at Guilford, after "having promised for 20 years that be would go. "And for 20 years I nave been lying about It, too," he said, shifting the position of his cigar.. HAD GOOD REASONS. ,He had good reasons all along for not going, according to his friends here, and very particularly good rea sons this year. North Carolina has been a sort of market place In which bids have been made for the South ern delegates. All the prominent spok-en-ofs who realize what a rich field the South offers for easily manoeuvred Republican delegates have gone to North Carolina. Leslie M. Shaw went down to Asheville a little over a year ago and told the people what a really great thing the g. o. p. 4s and how great a mistake the South was making not to get astride the elephant and ride Instead of standing afar off and braying. He made an impression. Charles Warren Fairbanks went down and shook hands with the people and spread Denevoirnce oyr tne green fields. Then came along Taft, to this very same place, or rather very near it, in tne same county of Guilford He made a break by telling the South ern Republicans that they should be Republicans from tome hl-ber motive than that of getting Federal Jobs, re marking to the unutterable astonish ment of his auditors and readers that the g. 0. p, ,ln tho South woulfl ho better off it the Democrats held all the -office, . " ANOTHER MISSIONARY. The administration had to send the Itonorabl Francis, III. Hitchcock, First Assistant Postmaster General and chief pie dispenser on a special tour through the South to counteract the ill effects upon Taft of this woeful break; and not being sure that even Mr. Ilitchock's mission was fully sa tisfactory, had to resort to the addi tional expedient of appointing Caotaln John G. Capers, a deposed district at torney but still an Influential dele gate manipulator, as Commissioner of Internal Revenue. . Naturally Uncle Joe felt some mlnglvlng in going down to North Carolina and making a speech Fnallly he conquered hlsfears, though, and decided to co. but not be. fore he -had put three secretaries to work for days ahead collecting in- formation about the Industrial growth 01 me .nouuv ana the glories of the revolutionary heroes " and all other subjects far away from either politics or me race question, Now see what It ail has come to. Uncle Joo bites his ci gar and shoots the outer end thereof up. towards tho point of his nose a he does when John Sharp Williams makes ft "Point of order on one of his pet measures. It will be . a long time be fore the Speaker will pay another visit to the scenes of his childhood. SOMETHING EXPECTED. The fact -that North Carolina has beert the platform for slgnlfkAn: polit ical utterances, especially those meant to affect the shade if not the color of Southern Republican delegates; the fact that the visits of Shaw, Fair banks, Taft-and others had a political ':.!!
