Washington, May 6,—The house of representatives today paid tribute to ‘‘Uncle Joe’’ Can- non on his eightieth : birth anni- versary. Tears filled the eyes of the stal- wart old legislator with almost 40 years of service in the house be- hind him as Democrats and Re- publicans were joined by the gal- leries in a noisy outburst and his voice shook as he arose to reply to felicitations from other mem- bers.. Still carrying himself as straight as an Indian and as rud-| dy-cheeked as a schoolgirl, Mr. Cannon marched down the center aisle of the house and delivered an address of appreciation filled with. reminiscence of other days. It brought back the shadows of Blaine, Randall, Ben Butler, New pattern OIL STOVES Perfection and short Burner Daugler y Stoves | ALL SIZES AND PRICES OF OVENS _ Linoleums and Rugs George F. Hoar, ‘‘Sunset’”’ Cox, ‘*Pig-Iron’’ Kelley and a score of contemporaries of Mr. Cannon to the halls where once they served. Mr. Cannon was quick to ob- serve the nonpartisan character of the occasion and his opening words were in appreciation of it. “Unele Joe’’ is closing his twentieth year in congress, The celebration today was unique. Never before_has the house set aside an hour of its working day to pay tribute to a living member. Notice. Butler, Mo., May 7, 1916.
