Special to The Journal.


Omaha, Oct. 10. - Congressman
Cannon of Illinois, the next speaker
of the house, spent yesterday in
Omaha visiting friends. OF the pros
pect for financial legislation he said:
Il do not anticipate there will be
any financial legislation enacted at the
coming session of congress, tho un-
dpubtedly there. will be considerable
debate on the question. In the first
place, it is on the eve of presidential
election and unless it is a matter of
extreme urgency important legislation
Is seldom undertaken pending such a
campaign.
In the second place, there is such a
divergence Of opinion not only in the
republican party, but in all parties,
regarding just what financial Iegisla..
ton is needed, that 1t is doubtful If
any bill which would NEE the require
ments could Sbe formulated and passed
during the session in the face of the
fierce political fight which would be
sure to- be waged around it owing to
