Congressman Hill is quoted by the New Haven Leader as saying: You may count me as not voting for, MT. Cannon" Presumably, he means that he will not support Cannon in the caucus, and not that he will vote against him if renominated by the caucus. Really, the point left cov- cred, is essential to correct under standing of MT. Hills position. The people desire assurance that Speaker Cannon will not be reelected, if re- nominated. They are apt to look askance upon one, who, after declar- ing by his caucus vote that Cannon is an improper person for Speaker, reverses himself in the House and, by. his vote, declares Cannon the one proper candidate for the office. Con victions which are thus laxly held, are not popular.
