UNCLE JOE’S DISTRICT
NOW STORM CENTER
LABOR JOINS METHODISTS IN MAK
ING HOT CAMPAIGN ON THE
SPEAKER.
CHICAGO. Oct. 17.—With election day
barely two weeks distant, ths storm cen
ter of the congressional fight In this part
of the country has shifted to the eigh
teenth Illinois district, which Is the
home of Speaker Cunnon. Ordinarily a
rock bound republican district, the com
bined assaults of ths democrats and the
American Fedomtlon of Labor have told
so during the lust few weeks that alarm
Is felt at republican headquarters In this
city. To further complicate matters, tho
attacks of the Methodists, which began
during the recent Rock river conference,
have continued without intorruptlon,
and the result Is a situation that Is keep
ing the political managers busy.
Ths republican congressional commit
tee Is straining every nerve to make a
good showing In ths eighteenth because
of the "moral effect” U will have on
congress during the coming short ses
sion. While the committee will not ad
mit that there Is any danger that "Uncle
Joe" will actually be beaten. It Is rec
ognized that a greatly reduced majority
which seems probable, will strengthen
the opposition to his re-election as
speaker of the house. Since I unroot, of
Wisconsin, threw down the gauntlet by
openly attacking the speaker for his op-
position to the Roosevelt pollutes, more
than a dozen congressmen have openly
pledged themselves to vote sga'nst him.

The labor attacks are regarded as the
greatest cause of alarm, although the
Methodists have been more outspoken In
their denunciations. Two organizers of

been stumping the district on behalf of
the democratic c« ml Male. Othurs have
