Cannon Battles for Re election in Danville in 1908
Manville Illinois October 31 A Danville centered political contest looms as Tuesday’s vote decides not only the Taft Bryan result but whether Joseph Cannon will remain in the House. Labor leaders back Cannon’s foe while Cannon’s backers call him honest Uncle Joe. Cannon has 17 terms in 31 years and dwells in Danville, a rail hub with mines and mills where trade unions thrive. He spends more time at his Danville home this season steering his political fences and campaigning hard.
