Washington, March 28.-Connecticut does not seem to be excited over the struggle now going on in the house or representatives between the regulars and the insurgents. It is now over week since the speaker was turned down and his chief power taken away from him, and yet the connectlcnt members of the house have received less than dozen letters from thelr constituents, and some have received none at all. This certainly would m dicate that Cannonism will not be an issue in the state this fall.
 Attitude of Connecticut Voters.
 Perhaps one reason for this attitude of the voters of Connecticut is because there are a great many measures III which Connecticut people are inter- ested and which might be delayed should the fight be continued against the speaker this session of congress. Every member from the state has one or more bills for public buildings. Many river and harbor Improvements are being asked for. The Weeks for estry bill is a live issue to the states and there are numerous other proposl 70 tions that seem to interest the people of Connecticut more than the question of the rules of the house.
 This may, however, all be changed when it comes to the election or a speaker of the next house. While this does not take place until some time in December, 1911, there is already more less talk as to who VIII sue ceed Speaker Cannon, for 1t Is agreed on all sides that Cannon cannot be elected again. should the republicans control the house. On the demacratic side, Champ Clark would of course be the nominee, and he would be alected if the democratic party succeeds Tn carrying the house this fall.
 Many Named to Succeed Cannon.
 On the republican side. many names are mentioned, but at the present time the question of who is to succeed Speaker Cannon is not of as much im- portance as the fact that Cannon can not be elected speaker again. and it may be pledges will be asked of many republicans when they come up Tor election this fall. While the connecti- cut members have not expressed them selves on this point and what they will do. when they get back to Connecticut, it is safe to say that three at least are not favorable towards the re-elec- tfon of Speaker Cannon in the next house Mir. Henry has already stated in a letter, which has recently found it's way into print, that he did not favor Speaker Cannon at the last re- publican caucus and did not expect to vote for him next time. This letter, by the way. was not written recently but was sent January 18th in reply to what Mir Henry supposed was a per sonal letter, and it had nothing what ever to do with the recent struggle in the house.
 Members Unfriendiy With Speaker.
 Mir Hill has not been over friendly with the speaker for some time but has stood by the republican majority in the house. Mir Higgins is in the same boat. and if is very probable that neither one would vote for Cannon for speaker again. Major Tilson has not expressed himself thus far. and MT. Sperry will of course not be a mem ber of the next house Should there be a further fight this session. how ever, to oust the speaker, the connecti- cut members will undoubtedly stand by him and the present organization, and they all agree with the public statement of Mir. Higgins. giving his resans for voting with the organiza- tion
