TWIST TAMMANY'S TAIL
DEMOCRATS IN WEST AND SOUTH
 LIKE ELECTION.
Many Speculate on Result it VIII Have on Speaker Cannon's Fight for Leadership in
 House
BY ALFRED J. STOPPER.

Washington, Nov. 7.-(Special. )---No tears are being shed by Democrats from the West and South who are return- ing to Washington over the result in New York City. Tammany has teen cutting so many queer capers during the past decade that Democrats in o;h- CT sections of the country began to look with suspicion upon Che action of those fellows up in the big city
 So far as the recent election Is con cerned the average Democrat looks up- on the result as dog fall" as ibey say in wrestling parlance. The lesson that the New Workers have received they think may teach the leaders Up that way to tote fair" some day in national politics.
 Now that the election is over there Is much curiosity here to know what Republican Congressman Herbert Par sons of New York will do when the session opens towards proving the charges made by him to the effect that a deal was arranged between Tam many and upstate Republican lead CTS, and that it had the sanction cf Speaker Cannon and other powerful Re- publieans in the Senate and House.
 Parsons promised that he would prove every statement made by him, and Uncle Joe" has been defying hun and his followers to open up. Most Democrats in Congress know to their sorrow that Tammany exerted an tn- fiuence here during the recent extra session which gave the Republican or ganization the necessary votes to pre- vent the regular Democrats and the Republican insurgents from smashing the tyrannical rules under which the House has been operated for the past six years. The talk Is strong still Il at the fight will be renewed when Con- gress meets next month
 Cannon Expects Trouble.
 It is evident that Speaker Cannon and his followers expect trouble, Gjid report has 1t that they are already do- ing everything possible to keep their forces well in hand, for they have learned that the temper of the insu-g- ents has not cooled. and the Demo- crats under the leadership of Champ Clark are priming for the contest in the event the dissatisfied Republi cans open up the fight again.
 Representative Lloyd of MissoYri, Chairman of the Democratic Congress sionaI Campaign Committee. has re- turned to the city. He and his associ- ates on that committee have com menced work earlier than ever before in the history of the organization, the object being to get the contest for ccn- trol of the next House well under way | long before the next session of Con- gress ends. The Republicans keep their committee headquarters running constantly. They, of course. have lots of money as they are able to draw upon the business concerns interested | in maintaining high tariff rates, nd | 1t is an easy thing for the Republican political managers to secure big wads | of cash.
 In the minority room in the House office building, MT. Lloyd will have several clerks at work right along however, until tffe time arrives foI opening regular headquarters here next summer. Already much interest," ing litreature is being prepared. ard throughout the winter and spring months the Democrats will hold con ferenees for the purpose of devisine means for making a determined effort to win in a majority of the districts at the November election of 1910.
 Lloyd Ia Optimistic.
 From the information that he hes been able to gather within the past few months Mir. Lloyd think sthe pros. poets for Democratic success in lhS next struggle are growing bright. Tlt Payne AIdrich tariff law he Is certain is not popular with the people in fht Western States, and his information 1. that it is being condemned as much by Republicans as by Democrats The people everywhere are complaining oi the high cost of the necessaries of life and there are no evidences that duties were lowered as promised by the Re. publican leaders
 Representative Burnett Is the Ala bama member of the campaign commit tee. he having been reelected to tn, position last session by his colleagues in the House.
