NOTHING AGAINST CANNON
ALTHOUGH IT WAS CONCENSUS
OF OPINION THAT PRESENT
SYSTEM SHOULD BE CHANGED,
UNCLE JOE ESCAPED LASHING.

Washington. Dec. 1.-THE fight for
a revision of the rules of the house of
representatives was ,inaugurated last
night at meeting of the so-called
''Inurgents." attended by % republican
representatives.
Representative Hepburn, of Iowa,
presided, and was authorized TO name
q committee OF five, with himself
chairman, 10 draft the proposed
amendments to the rules and report TO
the organization on Tuesday night.
The insurgents" met in the inter
state and foreign commerce committee
voom about o'clock, and were en-
gagged in considering the various sug-
gestions for more than two hours.
Those interested in the movement
have been proceeding quietly with
their plans, with the apparent purpose
of increasing their numbers suffi-
ciently to be able to control the situa-
tion by joining the democrats in a
fight on the rules.
Claim of insurgents.
The insurgents claim that in the
present congress they need but - re-
publicans to join the democrats in or.
der to bring about a change in the
rules, while in the Sixty-first con-
gress, they say, they will need but "a
republican members.
While several of those present at the
"insurgent" meeting are for Cannon
for speaker, they made it plain that
they greatly desire a change in the
rules.
There were no expressions except
those of friendly feelings to the speak
er," said Mr.. Hepburn, after the meet.
ing. mo one said anything against
Mr.. Cannon" He said the general
feeling was that IL under the rules the
house must have despotic leader
there was no one they. would rather
have than Uncle joe
70 HS9uldIe huleS.
The election in like manner of a
committee on committees. to perform
duties similar to a similar body in the
enate, also has been proposed by the
leaders in the movement Another
plan proposed is to set two Thursday IS
apart each month for the considera-
ton of bills on the house calendar and
the remaining Thursdays for the CON
sideration of measures on the union
calendar.
None of those at the meeting would
state whether it was intended to bring
the matter to an issue in the present
session Of congress or not until after
the new congress is convened No In
