TAWNEY EXPLAINS WHY
HE FAILED TO WIN OUT

WINoNA. MINI. Sept 2l.-Coneress-
man James A. Tawney this afternoon
gave out the following statement con-
cerning the result OF yesterdays primary
eisGtion In the first district CT Minnesota.
which nominated Sidney Anderson of
Lanesooro for congress by a majority
estimated at from $500 TO 5000:
MY defeat cannot be charged TO the
bolt OF Republicans. In seven OF ten
counties In this district, there were no
contests for any Democratic nomina ton
Ono vote. therefore, I'm these counties
wound nominate the Democratic candi-
dates. Throughout the primary cam
peign the Democrats talked against me
and worked for my opponent They
boldly declared they would vote for hin,
IN order TO defeat me. Under our prJ
mary law this could not be prevented
Tho Democratic vote in these seven
counties two years ago was over 1000
Az the primary election yesterday In
these counties there were less than $50
Democratic votes cast In a single pre-
clnct in one county there were seventy
more Republican ballots voted than wsrs
cast for President Taft In the same pre-
cinct two years ago.
II was not the false representations
made by my opponent or the use of the
name and popularity Of Mr. Roosevelt
TO give color OF truth to these repre
sehtHtions that accomplished yesterdays
result. II was simply the vote OF the
Democrats in the counties where there
was no Democratic contest for the Dem
ocratic nomination"

Our Despotic Democracy.

The above is not paradox; 1t is fact,
By this time nearly every one has heard
of "Cannonism, and knows that it
means the absolute rulership Of 391

But, as William Bayard Hale remarks,
in an article in the World S Work,
perhaps it is not quite SO clear why
Cannonism is and how it works. This

ing how the speakers S strength lies in
his power to appoint the standing com

sky high. - and are constantly protected
by the committee on rules, of which
the speaker is the chairman, When
such power is vested in q personality
combining narrow -mindedness, cunning
and vanity--so the author tersely char
acterizes Cannon-these traits become
conservatism, sagacity and administra-
tive force, and his control becomes
complete. Ample proof of this is evi
denced By the failure last spring Of
the insurgents struggle IN their CON
test against the rules, and by the re
cent tariff travesty.
The proof of Mr. Hale's article was
read by number Of congressman, ana
other well-informed persons, and was
declared correct by all of these gen
tlemen, except one, who maintains that
1t is wholly wrong, but he refused to
permit the publication of his comment.

Mrs. Storer Raises Question
of Roosevelt's Veracity Again

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. Sept 21-The
Republican tomorrow will print letter
France September 6, reviewing the con-
troversy between the Storcrs and Mr..
Roosevelt concerning the former presi-
dents alleged authorization OF the former
embasSador TO Austria Hungary to visit
the pope and ask as a personal favor to
the president of the United States to
make Archbishop Ireland OF ST. Paul a
cardinal.
Letters written by the archbishop in
1903 and 1904, hitherto unpublished. are
quoted by Mrs. Storer to show that at
repeated interviews in the White house
between the archbishop and the president
Mr. Roosevelt acknowledged he had COM
missoned Mr.. Storer to act as a personal
envoy at the vatican in behalf of the
archbishop.
Mr. Roosevelt has hitherto publicly de-
MED that Mr.. Storer was authorized TO
represent him in this matter. and the Ire
land letters now published by Mrs. Storer
have the effect OF making much sharper
the issue OF reracity between the Storers
and the ex-president.
Broken Promises Charged
Mrs. Storcrs letter 10 the Republican
also seeks to prove on the testimony of
Archbishop Ireland that President Roose-
Welt promised TO make Mr.. Storer United
States ambassador either at Paris or Lon
don. and there is included still another
letter alleged TO have been written by
Mr.. Roosevelt to Mr. Storer just after the
presidential election in 1896. in which
President elect Mckinley and urge him to
appoint Mr., Roosevelt assistant secretary
Of the navy.
This last letter seems TO confute a re-
cent assertion that Mr.. Roosevelt never
sought a public office. except when he
sought the presidential nomination in
1904.
The first letter by Archbishop Ireland
quoted by Mrs. Storer, written to Mr..
Storer November .. 1901. is IN part as
follows
II have had two most pleasant meet
ings with the president at the White
house. He Is decidedly your friend and
resolved to give you the best there is,
Even said he. ~ Berlin comes first and
Bellamy wished 1t for little while, pend
ing Choate's retention OF London, would

afterward to London. Let him trust

Der %. 1909. was written to Mrs. Storer
in part as follows:
II was in Washington last week and
Of course, saw the president / spoke
with him of Paris and removed from his
mind all suspicion that Catholic would
