remember, says an eastern writer
when Germany" Schmidt, one of the
cleVerest OF the old-time twirlers, was
great man TO collect bats. Pete
Browning, OF the old Louisvilles, was
crank on wagon tongues, and Was
always willing to part with his coin
for a new one. He liked long. heavy
ones.
Well, one day when Schmidt was
hard up, he spotted a bat in sport
ing goods store. He paid about a dol
lar for It, and then took it out to a
lot and scratched 1t up a bit. Then
he wired Browning:
Have a bat | know will suit you"
Browning wired back:
Send bat on. II good, will send

Schmitty answered:

CANNON S POWER
NOT BROKEN YET
Congressman Turnbull Discusses
Recent Attack on Speaker
Of House

Speaker Cannon's power is not bro
ken entirely yet SAID Congressman
Robert Turnbul. ut Murphy's last
night. FOR the majority on the Rules
Committee represents his party even
though he is no longer a member of
the committee. There is a considerable
undercurrent of opinion in the HOUSE
to the effect that at the next session
committee shall be elected by It, the
duty of which it viii be to determine
the composition of the regular House
committees. AS 1t is now. the Speaker
still appoints the committees, and az
long as he can do that his power ia
still largely uncurbed. That power is
proposed to be taken away by this
action. OF course, nothing will prob
ably be done along that line this ses-
| sion.
1T seems to be generally thought
that the Burleson resolution calling for
the immediate resignation of tho
| Speaker was untime.y. While the
| Democrats were in duty bound to vote
for it. it was not part of the party
program and was proposed without
previous consultation with the minority
| leaders
$50 far as know there is little talk
about the return of Roosevelt just now.
| The combined action of the Democrats
and Insurgents in taking the Speaker
from the Rules Committee has been
and is the all-absorbing topic of talk.
while there is much optimism as to
the success of the Democratic party
! in securing a majority of the next
| House, and a Democratic President
| later, there is not much being said
as to who the next Democratic nomi.
nee is to be. Harmon is being spoken
of great deal in Washington and has
some strong supporters. 1t looks very
much like Democratic victory. anc
the Republicans themselves are sitting
| in uneasy seats"
