.cannonism the Issue.

Sioux City Tribune: The difference
between Cannonism and Aldrichism is
the difference between tweedledee and
tweedledum. But it Is easier to be rid
of Cannonism. Let congress take into
its own hands the naming of it's own
committees and Cannonism will be a
shriveled evil soon forgot. Cannon
is made thing Of evil by the power
seized for his office and the advantage
it affords to those who would exploit
the many for the benefit of the few,
through government action.
There is no larger issue before the
people now than the restoration of it's
constitutional functions to the house
of representatives. 1t should be free
legislative body. Until it is made so
again the government of the United
States is not what it was designed to
be-a governments of the people for the
people. The senate is body that rep
resents the states, not the people, and
it represents the states under limita-
tions that make Rhode Island greater
than New York or Texas, for by the
use Of limited franchise in the little
state and a comparatively small cor
ruption fund.- the same person may be
continued in the senate for whatever
purpose he may be found useful, and
by long continuance may come to con-
troll legislation through committees,
through personal association and by
trades.
1t was intended that the house Of
representative should belong to the
people, and Cannonism should not be
permitted to defeat that intention.
The next congressman to be chosen
from South Dakota should be bound
hard and fast to the plan to have the
house of representatives select it's
own committees. The jockeying Of
Burke and Martin or Kittredge should
not be allowed to obscure this issue.
The senatorial election will come later.
