Cannon’s Record in Sight for Next Term
Washington Aug 14 The veteran of the eighteenth Illinois district aims for a twenty second term and would tie a rare record for continuous service in Congress. If reelected in November he would have served forty four years, matching only Willian Boyd Auton, who held forty four years in both houses. Cannon’s tenure began in 1873 and, aside from two short breaks, spans the long arc of modern congressional history. Other long-serving figures noted include Senator Allison and Justice Morrill of Vermont, both among the few who sustained lengthy service in Congress.
