court, 1T Will be remembered, held
the employers liability act of 1906
to be void. This decision was received ny

seek to have the later act declared void
rest their contentious on substantially

Another law which has been attacked
as void is THE hours of service law

expected to render a decision in this
case at a very early time. This was
an act of congress passed in 1907,
having as it's purpose the limiting OF
the hours of service to be required
of railway employees. 1t was attacked
at the outset on the ground that.

The Republican state Central Com
mittee of Colorado has given out q
statement setting forth the attitude OF
the Republican candidates for Congress
in that State on the election of Mr.. Can
non as Speaker of the next House in
the event that the Republicans shall
have a majority in that body. Many
letters and kilograms have been re-
ceived by the candidates asking them
to say how they will stand towards
Cannon, and these have been answered
as the candidates thought best and on
their own responsibility. Says the
Committee: Each and all of them have
asserted in positive terms that they
stood squarely upon the Republican
State and National platforms, and that
they would, If elected, at all times sup
port the National Republican Adminis-
tration and its policies, and that they
would support for Speaker only a Re-
publican in full accord with Presi-
dent Taft and his policies. This
position is all that can be asked
for by any Republican voter, and
is entirely satisfactory to the Re-
publican state organization"
1t ought to be-. There was never a
clevcrer bit of lodging. and the Re-
publicans never get anything but by
lodging. 1t means, as we interpret it,
that the Colorado Republicans will
vote for Speaker Cannon, that is to
say, unless they have made UP their
minds to quit the Republican party,
Mr.. Cannon being the Republican party
i~ncarnate. He is the most typical rep
resentative of it and its policies. He
has never varied a hairs breadth in
mis- loyalty to 1t. 1t was through his
efforts that the present tariff law was
passed. He has conformed to all its
purposes and welded his power in IT'S
interest. Cannonism is Republtcanism,
and nothing more. The fact that he
has been selected as the K~apegoat upon
which to unload all the sins of his
party is one of the most ungrateful
things in the history Of American poll
tics. of course, he Should not be elect
