UNCLE JOE'S VIEWS
ON PROPOSED REVISION oF THE
 TARIFF.
He Says There Will Re an Honest Re- YIsiOn--Sees No Need of Fretting
 About the Speaker
 shin.

Washington, Nov. 24.-Declaring that there will be an honest revision of the tariff, and that there is no present need of "fretting" about the selection of a Speaker of the House in the Sixty first Congress, Speaker Cannon arrived here from his home in Illinois late today.
 Later Speaker Cannon issued state- ment, in part as follows: E The election of Speaker for the Sixty first Congress is yet a consider able distance in the future. When that Congress is about to assemble which I presume will be some time in March--the Republican members of the House of Representatives will hold a caucus, as has been the custom from the foundation of the party, and se- lect a candidate for Speaker to be supported by the party at the organi- zation of the House. I presume that the Representatives will be perfectly competent to select their Speaker and do not see any present need for fret ting about the matter.
 "Of course, there will be an honest revision of the tariff. All will not have the same views and each one cannot have his own way altogether. There must be mutual concession and compromise. out of which will come the result which, on the whole, Is most acceptable or least objectionable to all.
 whoever is elected Speaker of the next House. must so perform his func- tions as to assist the House in arriving at the result which will best represent the views of the responsible party in Al. l. will of the people who elected him. In over thirty years experience in the House, sometimes under one party con- trol, sometimes under the other, have never seen the responsible politi- cal party so wilfully against what 1t thought to be the sentiments of the people. Mistakes have sometimes been made as in the case of the Wilson bill, enacted by the Democratic Congress, but I believe that the Representatives in the House earnestly tried to do what they thought the people wanted. They were misled by the nasty judgment passed on the Mckinley law in 1890, and which would not, in my opinion, have happened had the Republicans more time to explain that bill on the stump.
 "The Republicans made no mistake when they enacted the Dingley law, as the long Iife--as the lives of tariff laws go-of that law shows. I believe they will make no mistake in the bill which they will enact next summer with the concurrence of the Senate and the President.
 There is one thing of which you may be sure. No Representative, and no Speaker, will fail to do everything within his power to carry put the well-considered constitution ally expressed will of the majority of the people.
 "This is why I believe that. we shall get the sort of tarif revision the peo- 7le voted for. do not pretend to ,rophesy or dictate. It Is and should ,e beyond any mans power to dictate 10 the House of Representatives.

To the question, "What is your
opinion Of the recent convention?"
he said:

meeting at Charleston which has now
passed into history. Everyone want
ed fair deal and 1 am positive they
got It all repoSts to the contrary not
withstanding. can say in answer
to your inquiry. that the state COM
mittee acted fairly, they had all the
evidence in the world to show that
the delegation appointed by me was
regular. The committee on creden-
tials acted on their best Judgment,
and seated the delegates who were
chosen by the people. Mr.. Gaines
made an excellent chairman, and de-
cided parliamentary questions in the
manner that was fair, right, equitable
and just"
What do you think of the turn
down of Newton ogdin for E. L.
Long?" was then asked Mr.. Hearne.
II think said some weeks ago
that did not think Mr.. ogdin would
be nominated, and when 1 arrived at
Charleston and talked with some OF
the delegates i knew my supposition
was correct, and that Long would re-
ceive the nomination. Mr.. ogdin may
have the qualifications, and Is no
doubt good faithful officer, but he
does not possess the magnetism which
characterizes one OF Longs strong
points"
scherr Decidedly in Minority.
Now as to Arnold Scherr, his
forces were decidedly in the minor
ity, and as some of them. / might
add the real good men, did not be-
lieve in revolutionary tactics they re-
mained in the regular convention and
refused to attend the court house
flasco. Now let me tell you about
that meeting, and want you to
quote me as say 1t, there were only
100 who followed Scherr and few
others to the court house. and the
balance were In the regular conven-
tion. My opinion of that so-called
revolt is that there will be only two
Tor three counties which will be among
the boilers. There were at least
from TOO to s725 delegates all the
time In the convention. and you know
there are only Ss5 delegates all told.
This will give you an idea how many
real delegates followed Mr.. Scherr
and his crowd.
This is the way 1t looks to me:
The Scherr people had found out that
Swisher was going to get the nomi-
nation irrespective OF the Ohio coun-
ty delegation. and knowing this ne
did not wait to see what the commit
tee on credentials would do. hut made
the bolt and pursued the rule and
ruin policy Just like some people in
this county are doing. 1t is not
question ofsparty with them. but
simply selfish supremacy.
