SPEAKER CANNoNs APOLOGY

There would be precious little sub
lance or force In the Overwhelming
opposition" to what Is called Cannon
ISM in the great West II 1t really
meant opposition to majority rule in
the house, or to power commensurate
with responsibility, or to any OF the
things which the speaker vehemently
defends on every occasion seized by
him for the purpose. But "anti-Can.
nonism" means no such thing.
The speakers familiar, not to say
threadbare, apology is purely techni-
cal and wholly prevalent. The ma.
jority must rule. of course. and the
party in power must be in a position
to transact business. But majority
rule does not involve inner-cliaue rule
OF the majority, the packing Of the
committees. the sitting Of reasonable
discussion. the destruction of popular
representation.
Would not the majority rule il the
committees were elected by the house
and the speaker were made ineligible
for the craftsmanship OF the rules com
mittee? Would not the majority rule
II the fate Of pending legislation were
determined openly by Republican con
ferences and caucuses, as the pres
ident has advised?
Changes in the house rules are 1e
manded by the friends of orderly meth
DDS. not by their enemies, and the!
the demanded In the interest OF con
struction and progress, not in the in
terest Of anarchy and paralysis.
Speaker Cannon Is fighting his owl
men Of straw. His hits" at the pre-
gressives are as wide Of the mark a
his misses. Record. Herald.
