DO you suppose that was not

Mr.. Cannon OF the latter's opposition
to remedial legislation proposed by the
New Jersey man to avert the panic OF

pleaded with to permit consideration
OF the bill prepared by Fowler with the
assistance OF fifteen OF the greatest

this:

Elizabeth. n. J.. Aug. 24-One Of
the most sensational attacks made by
q responsible authority upon a public
man Ia the United States in modern
times is contained in an open letter
addressed TO Speaker Joseph G. Can
non by Representative Charles n.
Fowler, OF this city.
Representative Fowler boldly
charges the existence OF a conspiracy
between the speaker Of the house and
Senator Nelson ". Aldrich. of Rhode
Island. for the purpose OF controlling
al important national legislation and
OF defeating both tariff reform and
currency reform.
For several years the New Jersey
congressman was chairman OF the
house committee on banking and cur
rency. At the close OF the recent spe-
TO reappolnt Mr.. Fowler 10 that i'm
portant chairmanship. Such action il
almost unprecedented.
Despairing Of securing what he be
heves is necessary legislation for the
reform Of the currency and banking
laws OF the country as long as the
house Is under the control Of the pres
ent rules as interpreted by Speaker
Cannon. Mr.. Fowler announced him
self as a candidate for speaker at the
opening OF the special session. He
explains that he did this. not In the
expectation OF being elected, but solely
for the purpose OF bringing squarely
before the people the issue OF genu-
Inc currency and banking reform as
distinguished from the legislative pro-
gram on that question agreed to by
Adrich and Cannon. This conduct
made Mr.. Fowler an "insurgent" In the
eyes OF Uncle Joe"
