Insurgents Claim Fifty
Votes in the Next House

you think there is anything in thai
situation to Justify expectation oil
more peaceful times? I don't.
No, can't tell anything about the
chances of getting vote on any prop
osition looking to reform of the rules
| The plans for any such campaign are
yet to be made, but it isn't apparenl
to me how We are to force the thing
II the vote could be had, we would
| overturn the Cannon organizations
control; but how is it to be done?
Not only will we be able to count
on just about twice as many insur-
gent Republican votes as we had last
session, on all rules propositions, but
IN view of the sensational disclosures
about the deal between Tammany and
the house organization in the rules
light last March, you will observe the
Democrats lining up better than they
did then. Not many Democrats will
nave the nerve to go any farther in
such combination, in view of the fact
that the country has had it's attention
called to the real meaning of such af-
flilatlonS. The result is that there will
be big majority of united Democrats
and insurgent Republicans in favor Vt
changes in the rules. The problem
will be to agree on program and then
to find the parliamentary nrocedure
by which majority can override n
minority which includes the sneaker
and the rules committee.

! There will be not less than fifty
lnsurgent Republicans in the house OF
representatives, on the proposition ot
amending the rules, throughout the
coming session. declared Represents
tive George w. Norris of Nebraska
| leader of the anti-Cannon movement
who has arrived in Washington.
Mr.. Norris has come early, pursuant
| TO the arrangement among the insurg-
ent members, who are going to take
Tune enough for careful conferences
and consideration of their program for
the session. Along with him came
Representative Hubbard of Iowa. an-
other of the original insurgents who
got the habit of voting against Can
nonlsm when it wasn't SO common or
so popular as it is now. They will be
joined in two or three days by Muir
dock of Kansas, Lenroot and Nelson
and probably Cooper of Wisconsin,
and various others of the anti-organiz-
alton forces; and from that time forth
the conspiracy business will be very
active.
Il have figured it pretty carefully"
said Mr.. Norris this morning at his
office in the house Office building, "and
| fee! sure that we will have fifty
thick-and-thin, reliable insurgent Re-
pubicans for the coming session. That
is, Insurgents who will stay for the
fight to reorganize the rules and re-
store to tho majority the right to dom
mate the proceedings of the house.
That is the whole proposition. They
ere not going 10 be insurgents on any
thing else. They will be found sup
porting all progressive policies in a
general way, though of course there
will be individual differences of opin-
ion on Particular matters"
Mr.. Norris considers that the organ
ization and anti-organization fights,
in both house and senate, viii be the
biggest and mos Important concerns
before both bodies the coming session
He is frankly Dearish on the prospect
for getting u great deal Of progressive
legislation passed.
The real progressives will have no
chance to progress he explained, ''un-
til they are able to make themselves
felt So long as the house is in the
grasp of Cannon and the Cannon com
mittees get the business for the pur-
gress will be utterly impossible. There
fore it must be recognized that the
preliminary to going ahead with the
legislative program, is to unshaclle
the two houses. The insurgents, rec
ognizing this, are going to fight first
of all for the reorganization of the
rules. Both factions are in an exceed
ingiy bad frame Of mind, and the word
'scrappy' seems to describe the OUT
look better then any other that occurs
to me. The progressive crowd was
sent away from Washington with the
blood tingiing i'll its face from the slap.
