friends said at the White House that
he was confident Speaker Cannon would
not accept the namInation IL II were
rendered him. This was Representa-
tive Pete" Hepburn OF Iowa, one OF
the really big men OF the house "Mr.
Cannon means just what he says when
he declares that he will refuse the
nomination II offered him." said Mr..
Hepburn, who had been talking with
the president about an army promotion,
II know how resolute he is, and he
would refuse II quickly. He is a good
deal better off where he is even II he Is
the leader OF the minority than he
would be II vice president"
Mr.. Cannon was reminded that Pres
ldent Roosevelt objected to his nomina-
tion to the vice presidency.
"Yes, but there was not the same pre-
on his part as there Is In
the case OF Mr.. Cannon"
Mr. Hepburn called on the president
to ask him to promote to brigadier
