Joseph G. Cannon served notice on th'
House yesterday that he does not pro
pose to resign the Speakership. He de-
clared in so many words that he would
stay on the job until the close OF the
present Congress. something less than
year hence, unless removed by the IN
sur rents and Democrats.
His declaration TO the House came un'
expectedly at the close OF a successful
fight by the minority, aided by a talr
number of insurgents upon the Item IN
the legislative appropriation bill. provid-
ing for the maintenance OF automobiles
for the Speaker and the Vice President
of the United States.
Auto Item Stricken Out.
Increases to the contingent fund Of both

an indication OF Democratic leadership.
he didn't want any more OF If. his answer
to Mr. Mann was. If he didn't like il. TO
get out of the House, for the next House
would be Democratic Mr. Clark believed
the country approved OF the policy of
economy he advocated.
THE Republicans did a lot Of talking
about economy when the Democrats
100000 said Mr.. Clark, "and called
that interference with the government
and when they opposed a smaller appro-

Secretary Of State, the Republicans called
