WANT NEEDHAM TO
SUCCEED CANNON
Members of California Delega=
ton Suggest Modesto Man
for Speakers Chair
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Members of
the California delegation are prepar-
ing to groom James Carson Needham
of Modesto for speaker in case of Uncle
Joe's withdrawal or defeat and a sub
sequent free fight. They argue that the
coast is entitled to the speakership and
that Needham is dean of the coast dele
cations and as member of the ways and
means committee has the first call.
Needham himself is noncommittal and
will not become a candidate unless the
contest becomes an open one. He has
been counted a strong supporter of
Cannon, but as a matter of fact he has
not forgotten the slight passed upon
him by Cannon when the tariff con-
ferees were named Needham was in
line for appointment as conferee, but
was passed over for Mccall of Massa-
chusetts.
The Californian has voted with the
organization, but he is by no means
welded to "Cannonism" as displayed in
arbitrary rulings. The coast delega-
tions are talking of giving dinner at
which Needham's boom may be
launched.
