| Cannon and Cannonism are still destined to be two of the leading issues in the approaching congressional campaign. The people will be asked, in the November elections, to reverse the decision of the present house of representatives, which, by a vote of 191 to 155, squarely endorsed Cannon and Cannonism by refusing to declare the office of speaker vacant and elect a new ] speaker. | And this situation exists wholly by decree of the so-caled republican insurgents" who, when placed in a position where they were forced to either vote for or against Cannonism, voted for it.
 The situation is clear-cut. There is no oppor- tunity to fool the 'folks at home' through technicalities Only nine republican insurgents are in position to stand before their constitu- ents and declare ''I stand against Cannon ism' All other republicans are on record here in Washington as being for Cannon and Cannon ism. Cannon and Cannonism mean Aldrich and Aldrichism. Aldrch and Aldrichism mean tar if revision upward they mean rule by Wall street and the tariff trusts.
 The opportunity to take Cannon and Cannon ism, as issues, from the oncoming campaign, pre- sented itself in the house when, on last Satur- day afternoon Representative Burleson of Texas presented the following resolution:
 "Resolved, That the office of speaker of the house of representatives is hereby declared to be vacant and the house of representatives shall at once proceed to the election of speaker"
 Page 349O of the Congressional Record tells what happened Every democrat voted in favor of the resolution. One hundred and ninety one republicans voted against it.

 "Had the insurgents stood by us on the vote to declare the chair vacant" said Minority Leader Champ Clark in a statement issued to the press associations, "Cannonism, with all the name implies, would have been as dead as the men who lived before the food As it is, the issue of Cannonism survives in full force, for, as sure as gun is made of iron, if the repub- lcans elect majority of the next house, Mir. Speaker Cannon will be reelected speaker.'
 "In the public mind NIr. Cannon and Cannon ism are absolutely synonymous They cannot be disassocated by any sort of incantation leg erdemain We have, in this victory, simply scotched Cannonism, not killed it, and the net result is that the people, if they really desire
