FOWLER AND CANNON.
New Jersey Congressman Pays Re
 spectS to the Speaker.

Elizabeth N. j.. Aug 23.-Charg- ing that Speaker Joseph c. Cannon had unjHstly deprived him of his position as chairman of the Bank ing and Currency Committee of the House of Representatives. Repre- sentative Charles x Fowler of New Jersey has written an open letter to the speaker in which he bitter ly attacks him and his methods. In this letter Representative Few Ter charges Cannon with padding the house Conference Committee i'll conspiracy with Aldrieh to secure the passage of high tariff rates. Fowler alleges that this conspiracy was baked only through the dis eernment and the efforts of Presi- dent Taft and Representative Payne.
 Fowler also charges that Can on vengefully and to further his own interests which he is alleged to serve, used patronage in assigning the valuable positions on the var ious committees The letter advo- cates drawing for positions Of pat ronage in the house instead of their appointment by the speaker of the House; secondly. it advocates making the position Of speaker of the house synonymous with that of the Speaker of the House of Com ons, simply presiding officer. and lastly, it would provide rule whereby the house committees would be appointed by commit tee selected solely for that pur- pose
 In his open letter Fowler goes back before the panic Of 1907 and alleges that Cannon used his power to prevent any action on bill pre- pared by the Bank and Currency Committee with the aid of , rep resentatiye bankers. This bill pro vided for about $250 GOO .000 of cret it currency which, Fowler declares MOu lu nave DIbAtUltu lUt pdHlC. The heavy loss and the suffering of that time he places at the door of the speaker of the house
 Closing, Fowler asserts that If the Republican party wins the next congressional election it will be only at the grave of .Gannonism. You have succeeded in Russianiz- ing the House of Representatives but unless I misjudge the intelli- igence and independence Of the American people, you will be the last of the political Bourbons and the conditions which made such a creature as you possible, will end with the sixty-first Congress

The great electrical wizard goes
about for days carrying in his mind
the details of some intricate problem
that he is working out, and, if sud-
denly asked a question, comes out of
his inner self so quickly that he does
not know where he is. 1t is related
that at one time he had taken his
place in line before a bank window
and, as usual, fell to thinking about
things electrical He was suddenly
aroused by the clerk asking; What
is your name, please ?"
He looked blank and embarrassed
and nobody knows what would have
happened hadn't an acquaintance
come along just at that moment and
said: "How do you do, Mr.. Edi-
son ?"
Yes, Edison, that's it-prstty
