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.
