Cannon of the house- of representatives, who collapsed while delivering an address before the Winlield Chautauqua Sat urday afternoon, left later for Ar- Kansns i:ity, where Campbell was scheduled to speak. The speaker had recovered from Ills collapse and insisted upon mak ing the trip. Speaker Cannon collapsed utter speaking for an hour and three-quur ters. Prompt uld prevented him from falntlns. but he was unable to con tinue his speech, and with the great est difficulty he begged tho audience to excuse him. Ice water and fresh air partially revived him. Then he was led away by his friends and taken to the homo of J. T. Itafforty, where ho was a guest. His secretary sulci shortly i, I tor ward that the attack was not serious. During the greater part of his epecvh Mr. Cannon was noticeably af fected by the heat. His voice be came weak. Ho backed up against a table on the platform and half seated ho con tinued to talk. His face assumed an unnatural white pallor. He reached tvh;iNwl -ift)-th-to 1 ire wHUWKNh. avJLsUsl..caji, and placed it on his' nea.' His Tidaal dropped to his chest; "1 -cannot talk longer," he almost gasped. "There are many more things I should like to have said, but I can not. I am overcome with the heat." - Friends rushed forward with chair and an electric fan was turned on him. water and Ice were procured and the platform was cleared of the cprl ous. The audience remained intense ly quiet. Finally "L'nclo Joe" arose, with a friend on either side, and said: "I am sorry I cannot continue, but I have been through three years of hard work and worry and this intense heat has been more than I could stand. I thank you." And the speaker sank buck. After a short rest upon the platform the speaker, uttended by Congressman Campbell, Mr. Rafferty and others, entered an automobile and was car ried quickly to the homo of Mr. Raf ferty. He remained there but a short time nnd then declared that he felt almost as well as ever, and went out for a short ride In Mr. Rafferty's automobile. When he returned to .the house he was warmly greeted by a large num ber of people who had called to ex press their sympathy, and for all of then the speaker had a pleasant work and a cheerful greeting. He waa ap parently willing to continue the re ception until al( of Wlnfleld had greet ed him, but the physicians and Mr. Rafferty Interfered. Mr. Cannon In sisted that he was all right, saying repeatedly: "It's all right: nothing to It." He was finally Induced to enter the home of Mr. Rlfferty and take a short rest.

Albert Sprsgue, aged 17, a farmer, was mur ilered In bed lost night while asleep with his wife nd two children. Gudger JJas not Proposed It; if He Did so Grant Would not Accept Proposal. CAMPAIGN OF PERSONAL WORK IS DECIDED ON BY BOTH MEN Republicans Say They Are Going to Put Out n Very Strong 'Ticket In Buncombe. There will be no Joint campaign this year In the Tenth-congressional district between J. M. Gudger, Jr., the democratic nominee, , and John G. Grant, the republican nominee. This much of the campaign program, while no formal announcement to the effect has been made, is settled. Mr. Gudg er, nominated last week by the demo crats as their standard-bearer, has made no move toward a joint canvass of the district, while it Is known that in the event such a move la made Mr. Grant through his campaign manager would not accept. In referring to this particular phase of the campaign, one of Mr. Grant's managers and strong supporters declared that the day had passed when candidates for congress engage In Joint discussions. He said that the only ,way to enlighten the people on the problems of the day and the Issues was a discussion of the subjects free from acrimony and per sonalities and that this was not pos sible in a Joint campaign. It is cer tain that Mr. Grant, who two years ago redeemed the district from the hands of the democrats and who says he expects to Increase his majority of two years ago, will pursue this year the course that' he pursued In the last, campaign. Campaign of personal Effort. The campaign will evidently be a campaign of personal effort. "Mr.' Grant and Mr. Gudger will go after the Individual voter. They will follow every pig trail in the district; they will go to the coves and to the heads of """i ttu " Hieirct.... Jiaeh, be lleves that he will win. Mr. Grunt, In fact, appears certain that he will not only win the election again this year, but thut he will win by a larger ma jority than two years ago. He is confident: he is enthusiastic. On the other hand Mr. nudsr believes that having once redeemed the district from the hands of the republicans when Mr. Moody was In congress, he can do It again and defeat Mr. Grant at the polls ln November. The repub- licans laugh at certain claims made by Mr, Gudger's friends; claims, in fact, that Mr. Gudger, through rela tionship and otherwise, will poll a large republican vote that two years ago went to Mr. Grant as against Mr. Crawford. They say that nothing like that will occur this year; that rf Mr. Gudger polls the entire strength of his own party he will be doing well. In this connection it Is alleged that many votes that Mr. Gudger secured during the democratic primaries were ii pdumII nf a fnAllnv annnntf porloln democrats throughout the district that Mr. Gudger would be able to poll republican votes and swing strong re publican Influence such aa the Rol lins connection and that thus he waa the strongest man, and the man to re deem the district. The republicans are not by any means unaware of this contention and In all probability they will Issue a statement relative to It In the near future. Campaign Boon to Open. The csmpaign In the district, while it will probably not open before lute fall In a stump-speaking sense, will, , nevertheless, open within a tew days ln so far as the candidates are con cerned. It Is understood that shortly Mr. Grant will ntnjt nn a ranvaaa of the llstrlct and that he will visit ev ery hamlet and every township In the district Mr. Gudger, In accepting the nomination, declared that he would pursue the same campaign this year that Mr. Grant pursued two years ago, and that he would carry the fight Into every precinct. It Is expected that he, too, will shortly mt it rt nn a .1 1 nl rt . w.m mnn tffn and that for several weeks at least both can didates will give their entire atten tion to personal effort throughout the district. It Inks like a pretty fight between Mr. Gudger and Mr. Grant... with the former claiming that he will reoeem ine aisinci ana me isiier giv ing assurancee that he will not only carry It but that he will Increase the republican majority of two .years ago, ' Republican County Ticket. In ths meantime the republicans of the county are Interested In their county ticket. Ths county convention will be held here Saturday, July 8ft, when a strong ticket will be named. Already thers are three candidates for the nomination of sheriff. Includ ing Matt Burleson, the present repub lican member Of the board of county commissioners; Frank M. Llndsey, for several years captain of the Blue Ridge Rifles of Ashevllle. and R. O. Patterson, a retired army officer, al though young man, and a man prominently conected In Buncombe. The republicans, believing that they havs a good chance to carry Bun combe this year, are figuring on the strongest men possible to nominate and they claim that when the nomi nations are made the party will have the strongest ticket In the field that has ever been put out In Duncomhe. The campaign this fall, not only In Buncombe but ln the district, bhi fHlr tft be One Of ths triost Intensely Interesting and exciting In th I nf the to j'rtl'-s.
