Becouse there is some doubt about his carrying Illinois and New York, and De thinks they would assist him. Mr. Cannonis very popular in Illinois. ‘ His name on the Presidential ticket would be worth a good many thousand votes to I it, and Mr. Root is popular in New York, . It is probable that he eould come nearer , carrying that state than ay other Repub lican that could be named. Mr. Cannon, however, doesn't want the nominationu for Vice President and isn't going to take it if he can avoid doing so without making too many enemies in his party, Ile prefers the place he has ~and would ratlier take the chance of being re-elected to it than to he named for the | second place on the presidential ticket. L Mr Rootis even more emphatic in his desire to keep out of Politics for the pre sent. He resignet his placé in the cabi net in order to get back to his law prac tice. He wanted, he said, to provide a competency for his family. The I'resident, however, seems to think his politicai fortunes are ot more conse quence to his friends than their own can possibly be to them and so, it is said, he is insisting that Mr. Cannon and Mr. Root shall abandon their plans and come to his assistance —Savannah Morning N ' D.A.
