G. Cannon today came in for a severe

mendations of the president.
cannon's Supporters.
Il presume" said Mr. Bryan. that if
the Republicans succeed and Mr. Can
non is elected. he will again be speak
er, and Mr.. Cannon represents what is
known as the stand-pat idea in poll
ties. He represents the theory that all
is well and that nothing needs to be
changed. and he has many people who
agree with him, but the principal sup
port that he finds is among those who
have their hands in other peoples
pockets and do not want to be dis
turbed.
Blocked Reform Legislation.
''Mr. Cannon does not represent the
reforms for which Mr.. Roosevelt has
commended. We do not mean to say
that Mr.. Roosevelt has contended for
enough reform nor that he has gone
as far as he ought to have gone in the
reform for which he has stood. But
we can say that the speaker of the
house has been opposed to him when
the president has stood for reform, and
That the speaker of the house has
thwarted him whenever possible in
making any progress toward reform"
Mr.. Bryan here spoke in compliment
tary terms OF Mr.. Bell who, he said.
stood for publicity as to the campaign
contributions and changes in the rules
of the house, to both of which Mr..
