BUT HE ISN'T A COWARD Congressman McCredie, the arrant old standpatter from the See ond congressional district, also believes that “God hates a coward.” Asked if he would oppose Cannon, McCredie today said “1 don't want to come right out and say I’m against the old man just because some other fellows are quitting him..

McCredie is a standpatter of the most vicious type—the same sort of a standpatt Will E. Humphrey. Since he has been in congress he and Humphrey have trailed with the same predatory pack. They are the henchmen of Cannon—the men for whom Can- non buck MeCredie helped Humphrey to get his sop and Humphrey McCredie But MeC believes that “God hates a coward.” McCredie is going down to defeat in the Second district, but he scorns to follow the example of Humphrey and desert the old piratical flag. The voters of the Second cong jonal district will send Me- Credie back wrtland baseball team just effectively as the voters of the rict will se Humphrey back to his “private practice,” but with this difference: Th will say of McCredie, “Well, he was a game old crook, anyway, and he stood by his friends.” Of Humphrey they will say, “He was a coward. He stuck to Cannon as long as Cannon could help him, and then he quit, tucked his tail between his legs and began barking at the man who fed him his sop.
