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.
