THE PASSING OF CANNON.

q ONE of the local Democrats are worrying
~ about Congressman Head and his relations
with Speaker Cannon 1t is true that Mr..
Head as a new member of Congress did not
line up with the Republican insurgents but
stood bv Cannon in the organization Of the
House. Had he not done so it is certain that
he would have been unable to be OF any service
20 Delaware during the session, and then he
would have been criticised for getting at outs
with the powers that be
But il the present straws showing which way
the wind is blowing in the West are to be taken
as any indication, there is no need of anyone
becoming concerned about what Mr. Heald will
do with regard to Cannon when the Delaware
Congressman is reelected. Cannon, unless all
signs fail is politically dead duck" lie may
be kicking and refusing to believe that he is
politically dead and trying to embarass the Re
publican party Cannon do the party no
good but he can certainly do it a great deal Of
harm.
There has been much talk about the feeling
against Cannon and all that he stands for, but
some have been inclined to think that this talk
had no basis. To such persons the oil of the
Chicago Tribune of the opinions of the editors
in the Middle West about Cannon must come
as a revelation. This poll shows that if Cannon
continues TO fasten himself upon the party there
is a serious split ahead and probable defeat of
the Republicans in the next Congressional
election
According to poll taken of Republican edit
ors of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa. Michigan. Ohio,
Wisconsin and Minnesota, 245 favored Cannon
and I44S opposed him. OF the independent
editors who represent some of the strongest
papers in the Middle West, nine favor the
Speaker and POI oppose him. A poll of the far
West would show even greater opposition
TO Speaker Cannon. Unless Cannon retires or
is kicked out there will be much trouble ahead
Of the party.
II is generally recognized at Washington that
the day of the Speaker is and Mr.. Taft, II
seems to us is making mistake if he aids Can
non IN any manner.
1t will be occalled that some time ago it was
announced with flourish that the Congress
onal Committee intended to read the insurgents
out of the party Then all that sort of talk was
quickly dropped. Perhaps those leaders who
were SO foolish as to urge such course have
heard from the Middle West The Republican
party has been particularly fortunate in having
strong press throughout the country, and Il
the party leaders think they can get along with
their press disgrunted as it is in the great West
let them go ahead and bow to the whims OF
Cannon. Before election day rolls around we
think the party leaders will be very anxious to
have the support OF these Western papers
Evidently they will not get it if Cannon is to be
kept to the front as the prophet OF political
disaster

No doubt the Democrats would like to get
possession OF the New Castle county offices, and
II they had them, we fancy there would be no
agitation on the part Of the Democrats for A
change of compensation. The Democrats have
had plenty OF opportunity 10 make reforms. but
they have shown no such disposition Those who
expect that Delaware would be different Della
ware with the Democrats in control would be
greatly disappointed. Not only would the things
now criticised be permitted to continue, but other

rule in black and white. Mr.. Lynch
as president Of the National League and
supervisor Of umpires, holds this posi-
to enforce the rules, and he intends to
do so.
Rule 20 has been adopted by major
league clubs for many years. It dis
tinctly says that only the players and
umpires are allowed on the field during
a league game. Therefore. all photogra-
pliers and others are barred.

an important game should be lost Dy
some infielder, running after a fly, STUN
bling over photographer and missing
the ball This game would be protested
and when the matter came up for dis
cussion, President Lynch would be asked
by what right his umpires allowed pho
tographers on the field. What could he
say. when the rule distinctly states that
these men had no business on the field?'
Mr. Heydler further states that any
club IN the National League wishing to
waive this rule can easily do so by writ
ing President Lynch. This puts 1t up
TO the club, and President Lynch would
be exonerated from all blame in case
trouble arose.
There will be no trouble over this
ruling" vouchsafed Mr.. Heydler. The
clubs can waive if they so wish

Secretary John Heydler. OF the Ma
tional League. is in town for few days
on business. and gave out an interesting
interview last night regarding President
Lynch's instructions TO his umpires last
week
It win be remembered that Lynch. the
National League head, who has entire
supervision OF the umpires, made it clear
10 the arbiters that every rule in the
book must be enforced. Lynch is a stick
Ter for rules, and VIII not stand for any
infraetion.
The news dispatches anent Lynch's talk
with the umpires stated that all news
paper photographers would be barred
from the field during league games. and
this announcement brought forth loud
wall from many of our very best sporting
writer's. who maintained that baseball
was, in way, dependent upon the press,
and that the baseball reading public
wanted action pictures OF the plays on
the field. The barring of photographers
meant no action pitcures for the daily
prints; therefore, the ruling was likely TO
hurt baseball.
Secretary Heydler, when asked about
this matter, reached for copy of spsld-
ing's Guide. and turning to rule 70 las
printed above. said: Here's the
