"VIC" MURDOCH GETS
ON CANNON'S NERVES
Red-t 1aired Statesman From Sunfower State "RIack

Natural Born Fighter

If Uncle Joe" Cannon, Jim TaW-
ney, Jim" Watson, and the rest Of
the Cannon leaders could quietly kid
nap red-headed young man from
Kansas who is the busiest person in
these parts. or could get him shanghaied
until after the House has been reor-
ganized. it wOulc give them much com
fort and save them much trouble.
The young man in ques ton is Repre-
sentative Victor Murdoch, one Of the
chiefs in the insurZent movement which
IS stirring things UP at the Capitol Just
at present.
Even the most cordial enemies Of
the fiery-haired rustIer from the Sun
flower State are willing to confess
that be is one Of the Invest wires lying
around in the city Of Washington. and
that If 1t were not for him a lot of
tie grief Uncle joe has had this
week would have been spared.
The State of Kansas, since the fate
fJl days Of trouble before the civil
war, has been one of the foremost To-
cahties for the rearing Of statesmen
who thr!ved On fighting as other men
grow fat on peace
Instinct for Politics
Vioror M dock grew ur with an in
s.inct for politics He is not a college
man. but he has had a training that
has fitted him well for just the part he
is now taking in the House. He is only
thirty-eight years old and was born
in Burlingame, Kan. His folks remov-
ed to Wichita and he was educated in
the public schools and in an academy.
But his real education began when
at the age Of ten he started to learn
the printers trade. He liked the at
mosphere of the printshoU so well that
at the age of fifteen he became q news
pa per reporter. He got on well at the
business in Wichita and at twenty went
to Chicago and became a reporter on
one CT the big Chicago dailies. He put
in several years of this and got train
ing that he thinks was as good as a
university education. In 1894 he became
managing editor OF the Wichita Daily
Eagle and after several years OF this,
broke into Congress He has served
three terms In Congress and is entering
on his fourth.
From the very first day ne entered
Congress, young Mr.. Murdoch has been
difficult to suppress. He has been go
ing around hunting for trouble and has
found more or less of IL, generally more.
He had scarcely got to know how Penn
sylvania avenue looked when he broke
out in the House in an attack on the
system Of railway mail pzy-
He argued that the Government was
paying out too much money for this

against the idea of the Speaker being
clothed with so much authority. The
result was that Vie Murdoch had

ated into life in Congress. When he
wasn't too busy doing something else.

ally just to advertise to the public the
condition Of things N the House.
When he first came to Congress. the
report went out that he was elected
through a conspiracy of the red-haired

cnce got started to coming TO Congress
ne has found IL impossible to break the
nabit- In the campaign in the Eighth
Kansas district last summer and fall
he swept up and down the prairies like
prairie fire or a Kansas cyclone. He
lambasted Sneaker Cannon. denounced
the present system of running the
house, and spoke right out in meeting
in fashion that apparently warmed
the hearts of his listeners. That is the
way II looked on election day in tho
Eighth district, at 4Hy rate The Demo-
Gratis put up a brisk fight for control
OF Kansas, but in the bailiwick of the
redoubtable Murdoch they never got a
chance 10 ante in the game before the
Republican candidate had drawn down
the jackpot
District Likes Murdoch.
The Eighth district likes Murdoch. It
likes him because he is against Can
non, because he is against the House
rules, because he is a tariff revisionist,
and because he is long on the Roosevelt
policies. as Kansas interprets those
policies. Incidentally, Kansas is be-
ginning to talk about sending him to
the Senate one of these days. In fact,
had he jumped into the fight against
Chester L Long last summer, it is likely
he would have been Senator now, in
stead of Bristow
Word has gone around the Capitol
that Speaker Cannon is going to chas-
tise these insurgents n great shape
when this cruel war is over and that
the best an insurgent can expect, II he
doesn't give way, is to get pounded
int the earth
This may brighten some Of the insur-
rectos, but it doesn't scare Murdoch.
His daily mail brings him many letters
from down Wichita way. telling him
ne is putting up a great fight and that
Kansas is with him. He feels he can
afford 20 take any threats about get
ting his political scalp with a grain
OF salt and without lying awake nights
70 worry over them.
Friends OF Insurgent Murdoch say
he'll be transacting business about the,
halls of Congress a long while vet and
long after some Of the men who are
now fighting him will have retired 10
private life. Anyhow, that's the Way
Vie feels abous IL. He says tbs.
Eighth Kansas district has given hirl
its assignment and he's having all the
fun he can carrying il out.
