CANNON OBTAINS HIS NOMINATION RETURNED AS REPUBLICAN CON GRESSIONAL CANDIDATE. Progressive Runs Foss Very Close. Boutell Beaten-Lee O'Neill Browne Renominated. Chicago. Sept. 13.-The renomina tions of Speaker Cannon and the neck and neck race given Cong:essman Geo. E. Foss by his progressive opponent. as indicated in early returns, were features of today's primaries in Illi nois. Speaker Cannon, as shown by re turns up to midnight, carried Vermil lion county by a primary plurality of about 2,500, compared with an elec zion plurality of 5,666 two years ago. While the returns are incomplete, Mr. Cannon's plurality apparently will go above 6,700. The returns in no county are com plete, but that the speaker has car ried every county in the district seems certain. Kankakee county, If the present ratio continues, will give him 700 plurality; Iroquois, 700; Edgar, 1,00; Clark, 1,400; Cumberland, 400. The vote throughout the entire district was heavy. The vote cast in the ten congres sional districts in Cook county (Chi cago) was remarkably light, not more than a quarter of the vote on the reg istration books being cast. The down State vote was much heavier. Early returns indicated the renom ination of Lee O'Neil Browne to the State house of representatives and also that of E. G. Shurtleff, Republican, speaker of the house, against whom a determined factional fight has been waged. Browne was recently acquit ted of a charge of having bribed a State representative to vote for Wil-' liam Lorimer for United States sena tor. Copley Run. Ahead. Early returns also indicated the mornation of Ira G. Copley by the Republicans of the Eleventh district over George W. Conn, Jr. This, how ever, is not conceded by friends of Conn, who claim the district by about '300, as against Copley's claim of 1,000 plurality. The fight in this district has been one of the fiercest in the State. Conn is said to have been backed by the so tealled stand-pat element, while his op ponent declared himself an jut-and out progressive. Boutell Beaten. The defeat of H. S. Boutell after many years in congress by F. H. Ganzbergen, who announced himself as a progressive, caused little sur prise locally. The regular Republican Sorganization refused to indorse Bou tell on the ground that his record as a "stand-patter" would insure Demo cratic success, if he werenominated. Ganzbergen ran about 2,00 ahead of him. As indicating the sentiment of the district, Arthur West, also a pro gressive, but running almost alone, polled more than 1,000 votes, which go to swell the progressive list. Close in Tenth. The closeness of the fight in the Tenth district came as a surprise to most students of the campaign. While Mr. Foss who is chairman of the com mittee on naval affairs, has always Toted with the regulars at Washing ton, he stated in his campaign speech es some months ago he had informed Mr. Cannon that he felt free to reserve his decison as to how he shall vote in the next speakership contest. G. P. Engleshard campaigned on an unmis takably progressive platform and at tacked the present congressman on his record on the tariff and as a supporter of Cannon. Forty-three precincts out of 147 in the district gave Englesharrl 1,092 votes against 1,041 for Mr. Foss. * In the Fifth congressional district L. H. Clusmann received the Repub N ican nomination., 'In the First district Martin B. Mad den secured the Republican nomina tion over Frank Hall Childs. W. W. Wilson, Republican incum-' *bent, was renominated in the Third congressional district today. Returns from more than half of the precincts in the Ninth congressional district indicate that Gansbergen (pro gressive Republican) has defeated' Boutell, standpatter for the Republi-' can nomination but about 1,700. Frederick Lundin, Republican, was renominated for congress in the Sev enth district. Frank Buchanan was named by the Democrats. William J. Moxley, Republican, was renominated in the Sixth district. The Democratic nominee in this district is Edmund J. Stack. Thirty precincts out of 137 in the~ Second congressional district give: James R. Mann, Republican incum bent, 1,126; J. R. Burres, progressive Republican, 721. bath. Chicago, Sept. 15.-One hundred and four precincts out of 147 in the Tenth district give Foss (incumbent) 2,786; Engleshard, 3,132. Danville, Ill., Sept. 15.-Two years ago Speaker Joseph G. Cannon, who was renominated today as representa tive from the Eighth Illinois district, carried Vermillion county by a plur ality of 5,666. Incomplete returns from this county today indicate that Mr. Cannon's plurality will be about 3,250. Twenty-one out of 72 precincts in Vermillion give Cannon 1,238, and H. B. Downs, his opponent, 558. Meagre returns from other counties in the district indicate about the same falling off. The vote was very light. JACOB T. BARRON PASSES AWAY. Prominent Lawyer and Mason Dies Suddenly.-Sufferer For Many Months. Columbia, September 16.-Mr. Jacob T. Barron, senior member of the Co lumbia law firm of Barron, Moore & Barron, one of the leading lawyers of the State and a high officer in several dignified secret orders, died at 11 o'clock this morning in Kansas City, where he had gone for treatment. News of Mr. Barron's death cama.. in a telegram to his family. Mr. Bar ron had been in ill health for about eight months, and had vainly sought healing at a number of sanitariums during that time, but lately his condi tion was thought to have improved. The sad news received today was therefore most unexpected. Funeral Date Not Fixed. Mr. Charles H. Barron, son and law partner of the deceased, will leave Friday afternoon for the West. It can not be determined at this time when the funeral will be held, though it is probable the service will take place here Tuesday. All arrangements must be held in abeyance until it can be learned when Mr. C. H. Barron will re turn with the body. N) member of the family was with the deceased at the last, because recently letters from him and advices from his physicians had seemed to indicate notable im provement. Mr. Barron leave his wife, Mrs. Floride Rion Barron, and besides Mr. C. H. Barron above mentioned, four children, these being Mr. J. T. Barron, Jr., associated with the public service corporation of New Jersey, at Newark; Mrs. Floride Barron DePass, wife of Mr. E. 0. DePass, of the Columbia bar, and the Misses Elizabeth and Jane Barron. The family residence is 1726 Hampton street. The Law Firm. Surviving members of the law firm, quartered at 910-913 National Loan and Exchange Bank building, are Mr. Charles H. Barron and Mr. Douglas McKay. Mr. M. Herndon Moore died~ some months ago. Mr. R. Beverly Her bert has retired within the past few days, to form a law partnership with Mr. William Elliott, who resigned as vice president and general manager of the Columbia Electric Street rail way, Light and Power company, to re sume work at the bar. Messrs. Bar ron, Moore & Barron have long devot ed special attention to corporation practice and in this field have attain ed high position. The firm holds the relation of State counsel to the Pull man company, the Southern Express company and the American Bridge company, among other, and represents the Atlantic Coast Line as division counsel. Seemed Improved. Mr. J. T. Barron was here last in July. He had spent some months in Florida, consulted specialists in sever al cities and was then on his way to the mountains of North Carolina. Friends who then saw him took com fort in the thought which his improv ed appearance seemed to warrant, that he was in a fair way to recover his wonted health and accustomed vigor, which was great. Mr. Barron was a man of imposing presence, one likely to attract atten tion in any gathering, and he had a fund of tolerance, kindliness and gen iality which made him the well belov ed friend of a really remarkable num ber of persons whose esteem and lik ing are worth while. As a lawyer he was a man of solid attainments, a practioner, diligent, acute and far-see ing. It is hardly necessary that any South Carolina journal should more than refer in passing to his high sense of honor, his scrupulous adherence to the best ideals of professional conduct and his absolute integrity in private and public life.
