As 70 SPEAKERSHIP
The Withdrawal OF Babc0ck
Gives Cannon of Illinois a
Big Lead.
DALzELL MEN MAKE NEW MOVE
Attempt to Influence Anti Revisionists
by Claiming the Withdrawal of Bah
cock was Part of an Agreement tor
an Alliance for Tariff Revision-Bab-
cocks Speech of Withdrawal.
DALzELL MEN MAKE NEW MOVE

Washington, D. c., Nov. 17.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt had not incorporated
any recommendation for tariff revision
in his message befoYe he left Washing
ton. If Representative Babcock has
any idea. that the president intends to
make such recommendation and call
an extra session of the ifty-eighth
congress next March, to take up the
work of revising the tariff, he has mis-
understood the president, or members
Of the cabinet do not understand thS
presidents position.
Dispatches received from Milwaukee
this morning. reporting Babcook as as
surfing the Wisconsin, delegation that
there will be an extra session, ere
.ated no excitement in administration
circles. 1t did give Nj. Dalzells friends
an opportunity to say that Cannon ana
Babcock had made all alliance Tor TAR
if revision, and that this mace the
issue between Cannon and Dalzell clear
as a tariff: fight The friends of Dal
zell are trying to use this in the east
to prejudice Cannon's candidacy, but
it will fail, because The New England
and New York people look upon cannon
as a sound protectioi,ist. who Will not
attempt to open the tariff question
until the president does in his mes
sage.
They also think hey know that the
president has no intention of making
such recommendation in his next mes
sage He will recommend the creation
of tariff commission to go over the
schedules and report as to what, If
any, revision may be necessary tc
maintain the tariff as protection to
American labor and not shelter for
monopoly.
The news of Congressman Babcock's
decision not to enter the speakership
race after having received the indorse
ment of the Wisconsin delegation Gre
ated much surprise in Washington. The
feeling prevails in Washington that the
action OF Babcock, who would have de-
veloped more strength in the east than
Cannon, makes certain the election of
Cannon. In fact 1t is now believed
there will be no other candidate, as the
west is certain to be for him.
Congressman Hepburn, when inter-
viewed last night. said that Mr., Cannon
would in all probability be chosen
speaker.
