At noon today, before the City club,
composed of alert, thoughtful men
who take a deep, but nonpartisan in
terest in political affairs, Congress-
man John NJ Nelson of Wisconsin de-
livered an address that reflected credit
upon himself and upon his state as
we'll
Mr. Nelson's subject was The Neces-
sity for Parliamentary Reform in the
House of Representatives. To the
study of this subject he devoted all
his summer vacation last year. He
has studied it on the ground during
the sessions of congress the past two
years. Few men in the country are
more familiar than he now is with
the history of parliamentary proceed
ure, not only in this country, but in
European countries.
His address today might have prop
erly been called Cannonism-not that
he mentioned the speaker of the house
by name, but because he dwelt so
strongly on the evil effects of one-man
power in legislation and of the usur-
patton by the speakers chair of the
functions of representative govern
ment.
1t was an able, timely, exhaustive
and Well-considered address.

The State Editorial.

The speech OF Congressman Jonn
n Nelson on Reforming the Rules Oh
fne House delivered at the City Cluo
OF Chicago is attracting national at
tention. 1t was masterIul EFFORT
and showed a thorough study OF the
subject OF parliamentary procedure.
The rules Of the House have gradu-
ally grown into a parliamentary mon
strosity tending more and more 10
make the members mere puppets Oh
the speaker and session OF the rep
resentatives has become much like
performance of marionettes. NOT
that the speaker is to blame, but the
gystem is at fault. The cumbersome
rules give the speaker too much
mower and if he is SO inclined he can
stop any measure from passing no
matter if the people demand its pas
sage or not. The speaker becomes
an insurmountable obstacle and the
members are helpless. The reforma-
ton of the rules is demanded by
both parties and Congressman Mel
sons bill to accomplish this object
should receive the support OF all OF
WiscOnsins members.

Milwaukee Sentinel.

Congressman John NJ. Nelson of the
Second district of Wisconsin told the
City club of Chicago today that the
United States senate is a more lib
orally governed body than the house
of representatives and urged reform
in the latter.
He gave an exhaustive historical
exposition of how the rules and rul-
ings OF the house have gradually
conferred authority in the hands of the
speaker until that official has practi
cally become the whole house and has
more power for good or evil TO the
country than has the president him
self
Mr. Nelson's subject was THE
Necessity for Parliamentary Reform
in the House Of Representatives, and
after pointing out such necessity he
proposed several ways to obtain the
needed remedy and invited further
suggestions from his colleagues in the
house or others.

must become a satellite of the speaker
and the clique which he heads.
What, then, is to be done2 Rid con-
gress of Cannon and Cannonism. So
long as the "standpat" gang of Re
publican reactionaries dominate, Can
non or one of his type will be forced
upon the Republican majority. And
as long as there shall be Republican
majority, the standpatters will con-
troll. The Nelson's and Lenroots are
few and far between. The standpat-
tiers are many and united.
1t may appear as partisan appeal,
but there is no escape from it. The
only way to be rid of Cannonism is to
elect a Democratic majority to the
house Of representatives. For the
Democrats stand pledged to repeal
the rules that permit the speaker to
control the house, to muzzle its mem
bers and dictate legislation.

Wisconsin has the honor, and this
district the especial honor, of having
furnished the one man who had the
courage and ability, and who had
made a study of the rules and philos,
ophy and parliamentary history to
enable him to challenge the power of
the speaker effectively.
You must have noticed how the eff,
forts of Mr. Nelson elected the COM
mendation of the press of this
country. 1t was not confined to Wis
consin, but all over the land every
free periodical and newspaper of
either standing and rank took note
of the work that the young member
on the floor had so effectively done.

Chicago, composed of men of all par
ties, leading professional and business

that work by inviting Mr.. Nelson to

a reform of the rules of the house OF

In an address before the City club
OF Chicago, Representative Nelson OF
Wisconsin urged the need for parlia-
mentary reform in the house of rep
resentatives if that body is to regain
its former prestige and become in
fact what it purposes to be in name.
Under the rules of the house, the
speaker is an autocrat. To expedite
business, the representatives surren-
der their power to the speaker, and
the speaker and the little ring of
standpatters and reactionaries that
surround him determine what meas
ures the house may consider. Bills
that they oppose are throttIeu md
measures that thep favor are given the
right of way. The representatives in
dividuality utterly is suppressed and

Mr. Nelson is too honorable to defend himself at the
of Others discuss the merits of any matter
in which the dead concerned Now the truth is that
Mr.. Nelson uttered word printed Ene
permitted any else that any way reflected
personally upon Mr.. Adams. Whatever published by
his campaign committee made up of newspaper

Mr.. Nelson well know that matter of good taste and
honorable he cannot reply. In the House of
Representatives Congressman Nelson had charge of the
eulogies in honor of his predecessor and that
sion made notable memorial address. Such ghoulish
politics. for which the grave is not sacred should
be resented by every honest man!
