EMPORIA, KANSAS. July 10
Speaker Cannon is not only stand
patter. but a standstiller," Congress-
man Victor Murdoch, Kansas insur-
gent in the house of representatives,,
said today.
Following in the wake OF Speaker
Cannon he defended the insurgeni
cause in his first political speech OF
the campaign and replied TO the
speakers charges made here yester-
day. He charged MIR. cannon WIN
affiliations with Tamm2ny Han and
asserted the greatest things the IN
surgents accomplished in the last SEES
sion of congress was to pat the speak
er off the rules committee.
Speaker Cannon for thirty years
has been opposed to locomotion in any
direction" declared Mr.. Nardock
For more than a quarter Of century
he has stood out against progress. lie
is not only standpatter, but stand
st.uer. During his a2lItieal lite he. has
opposed about all the progressive leg
islation that has been offered and
the wonder is that as much of 1t has
managed TO creep into the statute
books.

Now listen to me. | want to tell
you something that Cannon did not
mention in his speech While posing
as a partisan, as an ardent advocate

tate to rejoice when his boon com
panion, Lorimer. of Illinois. was elect
ed to the United States senate by a

His interest in Tariff.
Speaker Cannon was interested IN
Just two things in the tar.f biii-the
protection OF petroleum and its pro-
ducts and the tariff on women
gloves When the insurgents offered
an amendment reducing the tariff on
petroleum, Cannon left his chair and
ragged over the floor OF the house like
a wild man. He said the house could
not make the reduction. Then the IN
surgents became revoiutionists.
