Some Big Guns Spiked.

From Minnesota comes report
that the chairman of the Republican
committee doesn't want any
speeches by Uncle Joe" Cannon.
Not long ago the Republican news
papers in New York were protest.
ing against the proposal TO send the
Speaker into that State to talk na-
tional Republicanism. And yet the
President and the achievements of
the last Congress constitute the
strongest arguments that Repubi-
cans have. Uncle Joe" was the
right hand of the President in man
aging the last House. Why is he
not wanted?
What follows win explain some
thing about 1t.
Less than a year ago the Presi-
dent, determined TO press railroad
rate regulation, made a compact
with the Speaker. The President
wanted tariff changes and railroad
regulation. The Speaker was for
neither. So the President agreed
10 let the tariff alone if the Speaker
would help pass a rate bill.
That robs the Speaker of credit
for the rate bill, and convicts him
of blocking the movement toward
revision.
The Administration is now occu-
pying a standpat attitude, but only
so, presumably, because il is again
forced to logroll with the Speaker.
The President wants more legisla-
tion this year for corporation con
troll Again the tariff is to be let
alone as a means Of obtaining
"Uncle Joe's" cooperation. That is
the only logical explanation of con,
stant pOstponements of tariff con.
sideration. The Speaker is protect
ing the tariff and forcing the Presi
dent to press his activities in other
directions.
Minnesota is a State in which the
Chinese wall tariff is not popular
True. Minnesota produces lumber
iron ore, and wheat. Lumber and
iron ore would get in from Canada
on easier terms under any revised
tariff; wheat already gets in under

trust. There is no State whose in
dustrics would have to compete
more Immediately and extensively
with Canada, under a lower tariff
than would those of Minnesota's s
Yet Minnesota actually is so strong
ly in favor of tariff revision that
McCleary is in danger and Cannon
is not wanted with his standpat
speeches.
Why is it? Simply this: Mime

people that closer relations woulC

RIDERS RETURN
FROM new YORK
Salt Lakes Six-Day Grinders
Tell of Long Grind-AII
Are Feeling Fine.

Five of the seven of Salt Lakes stable
of bicycle riders who rode in the six-day
bicycle race, arrived home last evening.
Ernest Pye remained over for a few
days, and Floyd Mcfarland goes to
France, where he has signed to ride in
couple of match races, when he will
again return to Salt Lake. Those who
returned are w. Z. Samuelson, Norman
lister and a. J. Clarke. All of the boys
are well. especially Samuelson. Downing
and Clark, Hopper and HOLSTER are still
suffering little from the bad falls re-
more as If he had been-out on picnic
party instead of as hard grind as the
six-day race.
The boys have all kinds of stories to
tell of the big race. and for many days
can be depended upon to give amusing
incidents of the long grind. While Hol-
lister got bad fall in the race and was
put completely out of commission. Hon.
per really suffered more than any of the
local contingent HoDpers fan was near
ly as bad as HOLSTERS, but Hopper was
patched up by the horse" doctor, as
the boys call him, in charge of the gar
den, and put back in the race. For the
last three days Hopper was completely
bugs. and mounted and dismounted at
Downing command, No one could get
him off the track but Downing and then
he would sleep until it was time to re-
lieve Hardy again. Hopper knew MOTH
ing but hang on and for three days
menu Ills no now
hard they sprinted.
HOLSTERS fall was the hardest of any,
in all twelve riders going over him be-
fore the spill started. Clark stood the
ride better than Pye did. and Downing
a great surprise to all. Outrode McFdr-
land
Samuelson was put ont of the race
when HOLSTER withdrew. by being penal
lied a lap. when he teamed up with
Breton. the Frenchman- Samuelson did
not. therefore, get a chance in the final
sprint The Provo man said he tried
time and time again to team with Wal
thour and win back the lost lap but the
southerner was unable TO stand the fast
pace necessary to gain a lap after he
had gone about two miles.
WalthOur is what one would call a
grandstand rider and continually rode for
the plaudits of the crowd. The bows say
he was continually making short Jumps
when he had no chance in the world of
gaining lap, but these grandstand plays
were n little too deep for the average
New Yorker to see through and they
thought 1t was speed.
The boys say the crowds this season
Were larger than ever, and that there
was more interest IN the race. There is
just possibility that q six-day race will
be held in Chicago. Jimmy Bowler is
at the head of the movement. and has
received she promise of all the riders to
enter If the race is made q go.
