Speaker Cannon Remembers Pledges.
Speaker Cannon visits the senate
frequently. He is often seen in the
leaders. Presumably he is "cussing
out" the slowness of the senate in
getting rid of the tariff bill. How
ever, there are number of schedules
in which the speaker is concerned.

over oil, for a tariff on which he per-
sonally made plea on the house
floor.
