CANNON COMES DOWN.

Speaker Cannon makes one think Of
DaVy Crocketts coon. Congressman
Townsend started to circulate a petit
ton for caucus of Republicans to
compel the speaker TO expedite some
of the important legislation hung up
in comm ittees, and as soon as the
speaker knew of it and found sigma
lures were forthcoming for it, he noti-
fed Mr.. Townsend that a caucus would
be unnecessary: ne was ready to come
down without being shot 10 pieces.
1t must be a bitter dose for the cza-
of the house and a joyful occasion Tor
the members who have had to ehafe
under his autocratic determination to
be the whole house and do as he
pleased about legislation. no matter
what the majority might wish.
incidentally. number Of newspaper
publishers who have been fighting the
speaker for a chance to get their case
before the house, may be pardoned if
they smile cheerfully as Uncle Joseph
takes his medicine.

cTIRRINe UP TRIBULATIoN.

Not TO be outdone in the spring po-
litical festivities, the Young Mems Re
publican club. which has very lew
members under 80 years of age, had a
little ruction of its own on Thursday
evening. Following the precedent es-
tabiished in the state committee, the
county committee and the various pink
teas of the so-called insurgents, the
trouble began over a set of resolutions
criticising the official organ" IF the
Smoot machine.
The resolutions OF themselves are un-
important except possibly as showing
that an occasional Republican notices
what the organ" says The main
thing was the fight that followed.
Those recalcitrants who do not like an
organ" to say mean things about
members of the party. urged the adop-
ton of the resolutions; those who sup
port an organ" for the purpose of
boosting their own game and sWatting
everybody who may disagree with
them. were naturally opposed to the
motion to adopt. Followed an ava
lanche of oratory, inVectiVe. eXplaha-
ton. recrimination and vociferation
Finally there was a vote and the res
olutions were beaten by a small ma
Jority and the meeting adjourned. But
there was an aftermath of feeling that
portends a lovely time in the hereafter
Truly these Republicans who have
started out to run their party by firing
most of the old-line members of the
party, have mapped out program of
tribulation for themselves and enjoy
ment for their opponents that will last
through the campaign.
