WILL Be HONEST
SPEAKER CANNON ARRIVES IN
WASHINGTON AND MAKES
A STATEMENT.
WILL OBEY THE PEOPLE
Mot Frotting Over Speaker
chip-Caucus Will
Decide.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 2i.-De-
claring that there will be an honest
revision Of the tariff and that there Is
no present need of "fretting about
the selection OF speaker for the
house in the sixty.first congress"
Speaker Cannon arrived here from
his home In Illinois late today for
the approaching session OF congress
In a statement issued this afternoon
Cannon said;
The election Of speaker for the
sixty first congress Is yet consid
cradle distance in the future. When
that congress is about to assemble
which ] presume will be sometime in
Mareh-the Republican members of
the house will hold a caucus as has
been the custom from the foundation
of the party and select candidate
for speaker to be supported by the
party at the organization of the
house. | presume that representatives
will be perfectly competent to select
their speaker and do not see any
present need for fretting about the
matter
"Of course there will be an honest
revision of the tariff. We made a
campaign on that issue, and every |
Republican member was elected with |
that in view. Every one of those Re |
publicans, without exception, WILL | |
believe, strive to the best of his in, |
telligence and ability to attain the |
tariff results desired by the people |
WHO elected him. All win not have |
the same views and each one cannot |
have his own way altogether. There
must be mutual concession and com
promise, out of which will come the
result which, on the whole, is the
most acceptable or the least objec-
to all. That is according to
civilized and enlightened govern
ment

have everything his own way with
out regard to his neighbor Who
