Republicans, Cannon's ~lieutenants, did
not indicate they had in mind such a
revision of the tariff as MIR. Taft be-
lieved the Republican party had prom
ised. This was d-iscouraging, but not
necessarily alarming. There remained
the possibility that these former stand
patters might be made to see the er-
ror of their way. But here entered a
new element, an unthought of one,
one with which there seemed 40 way
to cope. From the tone of the editor
ial u~tterances in Republican and indie
pendent newspapers throughout the
country and from reports carried per-
sonally and by mail to Mr.. Taft at
Springs it began to grow appar-
ent that the country was going to be
suspicious of and dissatisfied with
a~y tariff bill passed under the aus
p: ses of Speaker Cannon, Serene E.
Payne, John Dalzell and the other
: wers that be in the House OF Rep
jentatives, in cooperation with AL

Washington, Nov. 30.-There is very
grave concern among Republican par
ty leaders over the possibility that
President-elect Taft may feel called
upon to use his influence in an at
tempt to prevent the reelection of Jos
eph G. Cannon as speaker of the low-
er house. That such an attempt would
be highly injurious to the party is con
ceded without question. Yet there are
those close in the confidence of the
President-elect who belive it would be
more injurious not to make the at
tempt.
The .unopposed reelection of Can
non means, in the judgment of those
who are advising Mr.. Taft to oppose
him, hat it will De impossible for the
new administration to secure any
substantial progressive legislation at
the hands of congress; means that the
provised revision of the tariff will not
be such as to satisfy the country, that
other remedial measures to which the
President-elect is pledged will be
smothered in committee or passed in
emasculated form. A successful fight
against Cannon might make possible
the passage of measures that would
otherwise fail, but 1t would leave in
publican minority which would lose no
opportunity to embarrass the admins
tration. An unsuccessful fight against
the Speaker would leave the new ad-
ministration at it's very beginning
hopelessly discredited and impotent to
redeem any of the pledges for remed-
ial legislation made by Mr.. Taft.
The President-elect is at the parting
OF the ways, and has got to decide
which road he will travel. None of
them promises a pleasant journey.
Two weeks ago Republicans were con-
graduating themselves that the new
administration was to begin under
such suspicious circumstances, the
President-elect having the confidence
OF the country and, it was believed, as
sured of the loyal and harmonious sup
port of his party's leaders in. Con-
gress There was talk even then that
1t might become necessary for Mr..
Taft to oppose the election ofc Cannon
but the talk was not taken seriously.
The President-elect continued to give
his smile. and it seemed that all the
political skies smiled with him.
But the germ of trouble already was

Dalzell and the other House rulers.
1t is true that Messrs. Cannon, Payne
and Dalzell have publicly declared
they will earnestly endeavor to carry
out the pledges of the national Repub-
lican platform; but they would, OF
course insist upon their own interp-
rotation of what the Republican plat.
form meant. MI. Taft has his OWL
opinions as to what the platform dec
~larations mean, and he believes his
opinions are parallel to the opinions
of the country. But he lacks assurance
that the Republican House leaders

So, almost before he realized it ant
well before it was realized by the
general public, Mr.. Taft was confront

That the situation is filled to tn,
