W ASHINGTON.-E now and
W then story appears in some
newspaper that Speaker Cannon is
about to announce his retirement from
public life. Then will follow contra
dlction from close friend of the
speaker.
The frequency of these retirement
stories indicates that Uncle Joe" will
have the fight of his life next winter.
This does not mean a political fight in
the sense that the Democrats will
make it warm for him; it means that
the fight will be within the ranks of
MS party on the floor of the house
The insurgents" will make it warm
for Uncle joe" They made it most
unpleasant for him and his program
during the extra session. They did
not always succeed in getting what
they went after, but they made a
showing of sufficient strength to cause
the leaders to take notice.
And what they did then will not be
marker to what they will do next
winter, according to present indica-
lions. 1t is the knowledge of this that
has started the story that Cannon
will announce his purpose to retire
from congress at the close of his pres
ent term.
