Langdon had been racking his brain
for some inspiration that would enable
him to save the feelings Of his hostess

He would not commit himself in any

After q moment of silence bis cloud

"Mrs. Spangler," he began, "your an

TAFT and Cannon
MAY CLASH AGAIN
PRESIDENT AND THE SPEAKER
ENTERTAIN WIDELY DIFFER
EMIT VIEWS ON CUR
RENCY LEGIS-
LATION.

Washington. Sept. 16--Oflcial Wash
ington is much impressed with
the radically different views on the
subject of currency legislation set forth
in speeches delivered YESTERDAY by
President Taft and Speaker Cannon.
The belief prevails here that when
Speaker Cannon arrives in Washing
ton next winter he will find himself at
odds with the administration over the
subject of currency reform. Congress
created the national monetary COM
mission with view of revising the
banking and currency laws, and that
body has been actively at work for
many months, preparing reports upon
which it Is expected action will be
taken by the aw-making body The
indications are, judging from President
Taft's utterances, that the speaker
will be bowled over If he attempts TO
stand in the way of this programme.
The situation presented by conflict
between the president and the speaker
on the subject Of currency reform will
naturally tend to revive the discussion
as to Mr.. Cannon's chances for re-
election as the presiding officer Of the
house. President Taft began his ad-
-ministration on the best of terms with
the speaker.
In the closing days OF the special
congress controversy developed over
the tariff with the result that Mr.. Can
non In his contest with the president
lost out. It Is apparent that bank
ing and currency reform will be strong
~ urged upon congress by the admins
tration within the next tw years.
Speaker Cannon insists that there
will be no such legislation at the COM
ing session Of congress. whether Iegis-
lation along this line will be recon j
mended by the president this winter
depends altogether upon the monetary
commission
II the commission urges Immediate
action 1t will undoubtedly have the
support of the president, despite the
opposition threatened by the sneaker
