Republican Insurgents Expect Aid
of the Democrats in House.
Tentative Plans Of Action Agreed
Upon in Conference of Mime
sofa Representatives.

Minneapolis. MINI. oct E--Insurgent
Republican Congressman. in combination
with Democrats members OF the House.
will attempt to oust Joseph G. Cannon as
Speaker at the next session. Representa-
tive Charles r Davis. Of the Third Min
nesota district. who conferred with other
Minnesota members here to-day. said the
anti-Cannon men would not wait for the
Sixty-second Congress. He believes they
can oust Speaker Cannon during his pres
ent term, and they are already outlining
their plan Of action.
Should the plan fail at the coming ses-
sion. the attack will be made at the sec
ond regular session Of the Sixty-hrst Con-
gress.
Representative Davis says all the in
surgents want is an opportunity. and he
believes the opportunity will come. The
plan for the removal Of Cannon involves
a question Of parliamentary procedure.
and Cannon. as Speaker. viii have the
upper hand in the beginning OF the fight %
he said.
AN investigation has convinced US,
however. that Speaker Of the House can
be removed. Joseph c. Cannon will be
removed II the insurgent Republicans,
with the Democratic minority. can bring
about such a result.
Several consultations toward the end
OF the special session were held and the
effect Of the removal of Cannon was dis
cussed. Democrats and insurgent Repub-
licans were present and the tentative
plans were made
THE procedure In oustlng a Speaker is
involved. but we are convinced that there
IS authority for such action by the pres

WHEAT ADVANCES
IN QUIET MARKET
Some Activity Is Developed In
Latter Part of Session
SENTIMENT IS BEARlSH
In Spite of Break in Price OF Cash
Corn the Market Becomes Firm
and Advances-oats and
Provisions Close Firm.
SENTIMENT IS BEAAISH

Chicago, October 2.--shorts bid the price
of wheat up 1 cent today and the market
closed strong, prices showing net gains
of 1sd5sc to sc Coarse grain and pro-
visions also closed firm.
Trading in the wheat pit was listless
the greater part of the day and the mar
ket acted like a ship without rudder,
but late in the session demand became
fairly active and a firm tone developed.
Sentiment was inclined to be bearish
during the first half of the day because
of weather conditions in the southwest,
which We're extremely favorable for the
seeding of the winter crop and because
of continued liberal receipts in the north
west. The range on the December de-
livery for the day was between 994GD
992sc and $1.009s.
The market closed almost at the top
with December at 81. 00Aa1 .O0ss.
Notwithstanding break of 1d11ac in
the price of cash corn the market for
options rallied sharply during the final
hour and closed at net gains of 1sc to 1kc
compared with the previous close. Shorts
were the chief bidders during the greater
part of the session.
Oats followed corn and wheat In the
final hour. There was considerable short
selling early in the day but the offerings
apparently went into strong hands and
when a few tried to cover late in the day
the market was found to be bare of Of
ferings, which resulted in a quick rally
The close was firm with prices up 5sQs4c
to 7s@1c.
Provisions were strong nearly all day
on buying of the January products. The
demand was based on the monthly state
ment of stocks in store here and on the
statement Of worlds stocks of lard, which
were as bullish as expected. Prices ut
the close were unchanged to 1716c higher.
Cash quotations were as follows
