WHY THIS ABUSE?
In the Wichita Beacon Editor Henry
Allen says: . joe Cannon is a real
boss. He causes men to violate their
own convictions and to disregard the
interests of their constituents. On the
statehood question in the last congress
he made an arrant coward of every
member of the Kansas delegation, ex-
cept Old Man CaIderhead. Cannon
thinks it's his destiny TO run the house.
He does not regard it as proper for
other members to participate, unless
they participate his way He IS an
overestfmated old man, whom power
mas completely spoiled

ucans manufacture ammunition Tor the
enemy.

Republican party there is just one OF
two honorable courses open to MIN:
either to make his fight honorable Two
