Until some twenty odd years ago the President pro tempore was next in sue cession to the Presidency after the Vice.

A LAB AT G0MPERS

 LABOR LEADER.
~Uncle JeAv Tells DeisGatlOn ,ef Fssse Engravess of ais Attitaae Te'
 ward Unions and Preeident 0f FedeSatien. e

Washington, Dec. 7.--Speaker Cam mn todav expressed his sentiments to- ward organized labor and it's leader, Samuel Gompersn with respect L0 Ms latter's campaign for his tthe speak, er's) defeat. the occasion being q cAi, on him by a committee from the ioeAi union of plate engrayers.
 A set of resolutions commencing tne Speaker for his legislative work In oc- half of the plate workers was prs sented by the chairman of the deIeBa- ton. Charles T. smith.
 In reply, Speaker Cannon, after ex- pressing his eradication at the conA fidence conveyed entered into an m. formal discussion of 'one man political said that while he bore no enmity to the President of the American Fedora : tion of Labor, he did not believe that union men. as American citizens. would ever accept | dictatorship over their votes. that If he were a craft worker he would ally himself with trades union because unionism has been the vehicle of all progress toward better conditions for the wage-earner. and bor would not waver. if he was aff1li- ated ith 1t. he. as an American, would hold his franchise above the right of any leader to direct.
 He paid a high compliment to the ability of Mir. Gompers as an organizer and expressed himself as highly sem sible of the work done by him within the functions allotted to him as labor leader, and as the president of tho American Federation on behalf of the workingmen and the country. coinci- dentaliy he made 1t plainly known that he for his part. would pursue his own ideas in legislative matters, trrespec-, tive of Mir. Gompers opposition.
 He said he knew that In some things Mir. Gompers misrepresented the two million men composing the organiza- ton which he leads and that he (the speaker) had proved this by appealing to the people from Mir. Gompers ar- raignment of him. He said that in his latest reelection there was cast for him a larger union labor vote than ever before in his political life.
 The chairman of the delegation re- marked that nothing in the resolutions or the visit should be construed as an act of disloyalty to the American Federation.
 Replying. Speaker Cannon said there could be no such misintrepretatiop of the motives; he had not thought of at tacking the federation president but he felt the occasion one for making his personal attitude clear.

baltlmoro sun.
 Indeed, the Democratic party's posi- ton. it seems quite clear to us. is such hs to demand a complete cutting away from the entangiements and the mem ories of the past dozen years. Not even the nomination of a man like Gray. oven assuming that Mir. Bryan should regard his nomination with friendly eyes. would serve to patch up the deep seated trouble that paralyzes the party. If anything can do 1t. 1t would be the nomination of a man like Governor Johnson of Minnesota--a man who Is not associated in the public mind with any of the party's troubles. who represents personal vigor, force and ability. but is not expressly idcnti- fled with any aspect of the party's Iia- tional record. In other words, what the Democratic party needs, in order to cut itself adrift from the meian- choly story of the last twelve or four teen years is to select for it's leader not a man with a past, but man with a future.

When we commenced with the Cuti-
