FIGHT AGAINST

Will Fall in Line.
THOROUGH TARIFF REVISION

Cannon and the Present Regime In
the House viii Put Through Mr..
Tafts Progressive Program-Thelr
Acceptance OF President-Elect's
Terms May Be Reflected In Change
Of House Rules.
Hot Springs. Va, Dec. 2. - The
threatened fight by Mr.. Taft against
the reelection OF Joseph c. Cannon as
speaker OF the house Is of. 1t was
learned from a reliable source that the
presldent-elect has received assur'
ances that Cannon and the present
regime in the house. are ready not
only To make the revision OF the tariff
thorough and honest. In accordance
with the Taft pledges on the stump,
but to put through the rest Of the
Taft program OF progressive le-isla
iion.
In other words, Mr. Taft has ac'
compished in little over two weeks
lust what he started out to accom-
plish. and he Is ready now TO accede
TO the reelection OF the speaker In
what form these assurances came to
Hot Springs Is uncertain at this time,
but there is no doubt that they were
conclusive. There would not be much
surprise here II Il turned out later
that National Chairman Frank H..
Hitchcock brought the olive branch
from the Cannon crowd Hitchcock
was commissioned by the president
elect to look into the speakership sit
uatlon. He came to Hot Springs short
~ afterward from Washington and
proceeded to discourage the idea that
there was to be any fight between Mr..
Cannon and the presldent-elect
Mr. Taft will undoubtedly meet the
speaker when he TAFT goes 10 Wash.

details Of the understanding viii be
| worked ont
The Taft progressive program IN
eludes besides tariff revision leglsla-
ton looking toward the prevention OF
the over-isssing OF railroad stock and
bonds. also legislation providing for an
enlargement of the machinery to carry
out the Roosevelt policies already en-
acted into law, and for an increase in
the stan of the department of justice
with a view to the more effective pros
! ecution of violations OF the interstate
| commerce act.
Mr.. Tafts friends have declared
ever since the intimations OF a fight
against Speaker Cannon began to
come out that the presidentelect had
nothing against Mr.. Cannon person.
ally. All he wanted was definite assur'
ance that the speaker and his sup
porters in the house would play fair on
the tariff and that the progressive
policies which Mr.. Taft had outlined
in his speech Of acceptance and on the
stump would not be obstructed.
The falling In OF Cannon and his
friends behind the Taft program may
however. be reflected In changes IN
the rules of the house. The movement
that has already been started by sew
eral Republican congressman to refuse
IN caucus on the rules Is sure to gair
an impetus from any concessions thai
Cannon and the other leaders of the
house may make to Mr. Tafts de
mands.
