Last week one of the ablest and
best liked Republican members OF
congress, J. Adam Bede, of the Eighth
Minnesota district, was defeated for
denomination by members OF his own
party because he declared himself un-
flinchingly in favor OF the reelection
as speaker of Joe Cannon. This seems
to be a fair indication OF Republican
sentiment concerning the czar OF the
lower house OF congress. Golfers

policy, is certainly friendly to fhe Re

reservedly, and last week printed a
