Uncle Joe Cannon Seventy Earns Toast in Washington
In Washington last month the House celebrated Uncle Joe Cannon turning seventy with a floor reception attended by about 1500 guests including President Roosevelt. Cannon signed over a thousand photographs as souvenirs and greeted more than twelve hundred visitors, while officials and Congress members praised his long service. Local friends from Danville honored him with wreaths as he mulled a possible White House bid, though he said he would keep tending his duties as Speaker.
