Men from This State Have Been
Well Treated by Uncle Joe
and Are Grateful.
EVEN FOWLER EXPECTED
TO SUPPORT INCUMBENT
Speaker Is Said to Have Agreed
With Taft on Tariff
Revision.

1t is understood from Republican
State leaders that all the Representa-
tives of their party from this State will
cast their votes for Speaker Joseph G..
Cannon, of Illinois, for reelection. There
is little doubt in the minds of the Con-
gressmen that Mr.. Cannon will be re-
elected. The understanding Is that
Cannon has agreed with President
elect William H. Taft that he will
allow a revision of the tariff.
Blame for Cannonism Is being placed
not On the speaker, but on the rules
of the House. This is the argument ad-
vanced by John j. Gardner, of this
State. He said that If the operation
of the House was to be changed, the
change should be made in the rules
which give the power that the speaker
exercised. He will support Cannon.
He Is chairman of the labor commit
tee.
Congressman Parker, of this city, re-
fused during the campaign to declare
against Cannon, and the intimation
taken from his course was that he

that he will be made the chairman Of
the committee on military affairs or
en- judiciary in the next House il Mr..
Cannon is chosen. He is second man
On both committees at the present time.
Congressman-elect William H. Wiley
will also probably support Mr.. Cannon.
Charles n. Fowler announced himself
during the campaign as a candidate for
speaker, but this statement was looked
On aYa "feeler' and without serious
foundation. 1t is believed that Fowler
will vote for him.. He Is chairman of
the committee on banking and cur
rency. Congressman Henry c. Louden-
slayer is a right-hand man Of Mr.. Can
non, and during the last campaign was
chairman of the congressional CAM
paign committee. He is chairman of
the committee on pensions, and Is on
the naval affairs committee.
Benjamin F. Howell will also back
Cannon. He is chairman of the com
mittee on immigration, and on the
committee on public buildings and
grounds.
Congressman Ira Wood is on the
immigration committee with Mr..
Howell, and on the coinage and weights
committee.

crowded trolley car that will probably
