Cannon TO QUIZ MAYBE, BUT
YOU CAN'T LOSE ,CANN0N|SM

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. II.
For purposes of the republican
congressional campaigns every eff
fort is being made to eliminate
"Cannonism" as an issue.
This accounts for the official
Ioutgiving that Jos. G. Cannon Is
to resign.
President Taft has been telling
progressive visitors that he is op-
posed to Cannon. The congress
sional campaign committee is
to help the men like Tawney, Rou-
tell, Dalzell and a host of their
ilk when they go again before
their people.
Pledges against Cannon"
they will ask. why certainly.
But why? Cannon is to go out.
He has ceased to be an issue. 1t
has already been decided that he
is to be succeeded by Marlin E..
Olmstead of Harrisburg, Pa.
Oh, very well.
But Cannonism remains the
issue.
Cannonism does not mean Cam
non.
Cannonism means the rules and
system which make it possible
for one man in the speakers chair
to defeat the peoples will.
With Olmstead in the chair Can
nonism would still be enthroned.
Nothing short of complete
new set of rules will put an end to
Cannonism. This is the object for
which Victor Murdoch and the in
surgents fight. They want rules
which will restore free speech AMI
free action by a majority of the
membership of the peoples legis-
lature.
They demand rules which will
prevent:
Packing of committees by
the man who happens to be speak
er.
suppression of legislation
by failure of committees to make
reports.
3-Suppression of debate by
refusal of the speaker to recognize
"a member.
4-Suppression of legislative
action by refusal to permit a rec

over $10.000.000 has been appropri-
