The insurgents are correct In their
contention that the rules of the
House Of Representatives. rather than
Speaker Cannon, are responsible for
the failure of legislation beneficial to
the masses Of the people.
Cannonism can not be cured by the
removal Of Cannon and the selection
ct another man who will perform the
duties required Of the speaker UNI
der the rules and understandings OF
cannonism.
Cannonism exists because MAORI.
ty OF the republican members OF
congress. and a few men calling
themselves democrats, have use for it
These men need 1t to shield them
from the consequences of their own
double dealing and duplicity.
The congressional candidate, who
permits some grating interest to fl.
nance his campaign and secure his
election, naturally feels under OBJ
legations to his benefactor. Few men

turned his spear upon Hartman, who
had raised more than quarter OF
a million to help elect him. But
Roosevelt had no House rules to hide
behind; he had to step out into the
open and take sides on the rate
bill either for his dear friend Harri.
man, or for the general public.
The average congressman, however
who owes his election to the secret
campaign contribution of some Gin

reason he is supporter of Cannon.

When legislation is proposed. bene

to deprive some interest of graft

tries to look, with both Of his faces
toward Cannonism for protection. A
vote In favor of the proposed legis

congressman's benefactor, vote

him congressman;and "a vote gains
beneficial public legislation would be
hard to explain to the people Of his
home district. It might prevent his

conditions as those gave rise te

The scheme, which delegates to
the Speaker Of the House the power
to prevent vote on proposed legis-
lation, may seem like an exceeding.

how convenient It is FOL; some con

It is cannonism. it is the sfence'

New England days, and still prevails
in many Of the Eastern and Middi4
states. One instance is recalled where

nine wards, each ward elected three
