non machine will hold a meeting and
pick some man to go to Cannon and
tell him that for the safety of the sys-
TEN he must announce Immediately
his retirement.
The domination of Cannon over his
lieutenants is such that any one of
them would rather meet death than to
face the speaker on this proposition.

firing, and will not take kindly to the
suggestion; but he is impossible, and
his lieutenants know it and fear that
II he continues as a factor he will
carry the system down with him.
They know that for their own good
the system must be saved. They are
guarding three propositions.
THE first is the right in the speak
ership of inquisitorial recognition. The
second, the power which the system
will do everything to preserI 2. even
to eliminating the present speaker, is
the power of the appointment of COM
mittees, under which, as is well
known, part of the house control
hinges.
The third factor of control which
the machine will try to preserve is the
membership of the speaker on the
committee on rules.
THE condemnation of Cannon can
no longer be identified as sectional. |
am in receipt of letters from nearly
every section of the country, official
and private alike, and all tell the same
tale of a widespread determination to
veto the power of this man.
Cannon may not know that he is
gone, probably does not, but his lieu
tenants know 1t, and from this time
on their whole endeavor will be to
save the system and transmit, unim-
paired, its machinery to another per-
sonality."

him, because the general had seen 30
years of service, in order that another
officer might be promoted. The fear
