Speaker Cannon on Congress-
man FOWler'S Letter
HE CALLS FOWLER A JOKE
Charges That He (cannOn) Packed the
House Tariff Conference Committee
Are Beneath His Dignity
to Notice.

Msckinac Island, Mich, Aug 24.--
'Fwhy the hell should I answer himi
He's a Joke. All Congress knows he's a
Joke" Speaker Cannon chewed yieiously
on the end Of long black cigar as he
read the open letter from Congressman
Fowler Of New Jersey execrating his
methods and record. Then he bit of the
above remarks.
"Well, get out your pencil he said
Speaker Cannon then dictated;
Il have glanced at Fowler's letter. To
those who have patience to read it, il
such there be, it viii appear that when
] failed to re-appoint him as chairman
OF the committee on banking and cur
reney | became selfish and generally a
bad citizen and representative.
Il am perfectly willing that my action
in not reappointing him as chairman be
endorsed or condemned by his colleagues
in the House."
When asked about Congressman Fow-
ler's charges that Cannon and Aldrich
had packed the tariff conference commit.
tee in the interests Of high rates, Canton
said: 1T is beneath my contempt and
dignity to notice any statement made
by Fowler that there was any sort Of an
agreement BY which the House tariff
conferees we're named"
