Pray Will Not Support Cannon.

HELENA, Sept. 3O.-Representative
Charles N. Pray, in IN interview to.
day, announced that If he is reelected
to the house, he will not support Can
non in the republican caucus for the
speakership. In the interview Mr..
Pray says:
81 have recently Noticed in the
press of the state and of the nation re-
~ferences to the speakership of the next
house. That is a most interesting
topic to myself, because | believe l
will be reelected and the speaker is a
most important official. During the
two years l have been ia the house |
have learned that Mr.. Cannon is agood
friend Of the West and ofMontana.
| went to the house a new man, with
out experience, and tried to represent
a big state, and | have eve found
Speaker Cannon friendly to Montana.
While | appreciate this, | never the
less feel, as the result Of my two years
service, that it would be better, If the
republicans control the next house. as
| believe they will, that a younger
man be elected speaker. Mr.. Cannon
has held the Office so long and his
age is such that he gives the impress
sion he is not inclined to heed the
wishes of the party as a younger and
more progressive and a man less set
in his ways would. If l am elected,
having the experience of the last two
years in mind, | will support in a re-
publican caucus some other than Mr..
Cannon for speaker Of the house,
