MANN NOT CANDIDATE

4 am not a candidate for the speak
ership," said Mann. Il am for Uncle
joe first, last and all the time |
regard him as the very best man for
that Office He has been the fairest on
the floor and the ablest presiding of
ficer."
He's overlooking the fact that the
next house will be democratic and that
the democrats will choose the speaker"
was, Minority Leader Champ Clark's
comment on Diekema's announcement.
AS TO the opposition that other pos
sible candidates might encounter. it
was suggested today that Mann's ac
tivlty on the floor, his vote to recommit
the tariff bin and his position of fear
less independence as to other party
measures might figure in the event that
he sought the speakership; that Ohm
stead comes from an ultra high tariff
state and that Judge Smith has
troubles in his own state delegation.

Representative Diekema OF
Michigan Will Be Candidate
for Speaker of the House
Other Aspirants Are Smith of
Iowa, 0Imstead of Pennsyl-
vania, Mann of Illinois

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Represen-
tative c. J. Diekema of Michigan today
formally announced his candidacy for
speaker of the house of representatives
to succeed Cannon at the end of the
present session.
Speaker Cannon has made it clear
that he has no intention of resigning
He has already announced he would be
a candidate for reelection to congress,
but has never declared that he would
again be a candidate for the speaker
ship
ASPIRE TO SPEAKERSHIP
Besides Diekema number of pos
sible speakership candidates have been
mentioned, including Walter I. Smith of
Iowa, a member of the rules commit
tee; Martin Z. OImstead of Pennsyl-
vania. chairman of the insular affairs
committee, and James R. Mann of IL
linois, chairman of the committee on
interstate and foreign commerce
Il am regular, not an insurgent," said
Diekema. No man could ever give
me better treatment than Speaker Can
non has given, and 1 think he is the
fairest presiding officer l ever saw in a
chair. 1 believe the next speakership
will go to the middle west and not to
any man who has had long service in
congress and has had close aftiliation
with the men who have dominated con-
gress. 1t does not seem possible, on
the other hand, that the speakership
Will go to any of the present insur-
gents"
Diekema is a member Of the judiciary
committee and of the committee on
election Of president, vice president and
representatives. He has been called by
Cannon to preside over the house %em-
