Congressman Hepburn burn have shared
the laurels of debate between them.
There has been nobody else who could
quite touch either of them; and they
were a fairly even match. 1t was in
evitable that the two should clash;
and the row came in the heat of de-
bate Hepburn thought Cannon made
his remarks needlessly personal. Can
non couldn't see it in that light, and so
for many months these republican
gladiators never spoke as they passed.
1t looked as though the feud would
be lasting one; but year ago when
Cannon announced his candidacy for
speaker Hepburn, like the big-minded
fellow that he is, walked into Cannon's
headquarters one day, held out his
hand and exclaimed: "Joe, I'm going
to vote for you" That was one of the
early things that set the tide flowing
toward the Illinois man, and now that
congress is at work and he has
achieved the ambition of his life he
signalizes the reconciliation by asking
Hepburn to put him in nomination in
the house-which, of course, Hepburn
does cheerfully.
There was significance in the Incl
dent that was not generally under
stood, but it meant a great deal for
party harmony during these coming
two years. Hepburn will come very
close TO being the republican leader on
the floor. He's little outside the or
ganization, just as Cannon was during
the Henderson regime; but Cannon
was the real leader then in spite of his
isolation.
