Washington.-Many of the insur-
gent republicans of the house, who
voted to retain Speaker Cannon il
the chair, are hearing from home
according to reports in circulation
about the capital. These advices are
said to be not at all reassuring.
Following close upon this informa-
tion came a statement from several
that the war aginst "Cannonism" is
to- go on to the extent of ultimately
causing dethronement Of Speaker Can
non, the election of his successor and
the complete reformation of the rules
of the house.
Elimination of Cannon.
The overthrow of the speaker and
the taking away from the speakership
of all power to influence legislation
unduly are aimed at
A proposition to remove Speaker
Cannon by means of combined vote
of democrats and insurgents and sub
stitute in his place Asher G. Kinds, the
parliamentarian Of the house, is one
of the plans which several insurgents
are advocating. The idea of placing
in the speakers chair a pure parlia-
mentarian, not member of the house,
who would be entirely uninfuenced by
considerations of partisan advantage,
was pointed out by Representative
POindexter, of Washington, and others
as the logical and proper course. Un.
der the constitution the house may
choose a speaker who is not a mem.
ber of the body.
There Must Be Other Reforms.
Representative Poindexter, who is
one of the prominent members Of the
insurgent body, said:
"This initial reform which we have
accomplished must be followed by 9TH
ers The whole trouble in which the
house finds itself is caused by the
joining of the power of the speaker
with that of the leader of the major
ity. The English plan of having an
expert parliament2rlan instead Of
politician as a presiding officer Is the
only correct one. AS long as we Sc
lect party leader as speaker just so
long will we have partisan and unfair
rulings from the chair"
