TAFT IN cANNoN'S BED

President TAFT has gotten off Of
the fence on the Joe Cannon PROPOSE
tion. He alighted on the Cannon
side. too. Instead of being opposed
to the autocratic rule which Can
non has exercised in the lower
house of congress almost from the
time TO which, the memory OF man
runneth not 10 the contrary" Presi-
dent Taft has served notice on the
minority in his party which is OPP
pnsed TO the Illinois congressman,
that he will not countenance their
stand for a moment, nor does he
sanction their combining with the
Democrats in an effort 10 oust the
speaker. The administration is now
backing Cannon. 1t has placed its
stamp OF approval upon the manner
in which he has conducted the bust
ness, the manner in which he has
throttled legislation which was not
10 his liking and jammed through
either measures which suited his
pleasure.
Uncle Joe" Cannon drove new
nail upon which TO hang his hat,
when he got behind the Knox en-
abling act, as the measure which
permitted the entrance of Senator
Knox into the cabinet was COM
monly known. The house was a lit
tie gun SHY about passing the
meaaure, but Speaker Cannon saw
his opportunity to make himself
solid with the incoming adminis-
tration and with the premier OF the
cabinet. and he got behind the prop
osbdon and forced its passage. Now
he is reaplng the reward for his work
as a life preseGver. Instead of be-
Ing given Carnegie medal, ne is TO
be rewarded with another lease on
the speEbkerShlp.
During the last campaign, "Uncle
Joe" was really one OF the issues.
The church people were dlsgusted
with the personality OF the man and
the friends OF Repubhcanism we're
opposed TO him because OF his autoc-
r7lcy and his obstructive methods. He
was recognized as the king ''Stand
ratter' OF the whole bunch. The Re-
publican organization made its cam
paign upon a tariff revision plat
form. A tariff revision plank
meant the unhorsing Of Speaker
Cannon and the overthrow OF his
system Of rules in the house. The
Republican, were successful and 50
will ''Uncle joe be successful. He
Is 20 retain his seat in the speakers
chair and all because President Taft
has gotten back OF him in return for
his stand in favor OF permitting
Senator Knox to become secretary -of
state.

Republican way OF doing business,
