ing excepting to establish day for
the calling of bills in their order
upon the calendar, like the calling
of cases in court. The Fitzgerald
amendments did not take away from
Speaker Cannon his Guardianship of
the Committee on Rules, nor did it
change the Committee of Three to a
Committee of Fifteen, as Mr.. Clark
had proposed. The Fitzgerald propo
sitions left to the Speaker the ap-
pointment of all the Committees, in
Guiding the Committee of Three,
which controls the House. In other
words, Mr.. Fitzgerald's proposition
left Cannon in absolute control Of
the business before the House. The
Republicans Immediately jumped at
this Fitzgerald proposition. Along
with the Republicans went twenty
three Democrats, mostly from New
York and Georgia. Not only did
Livingston, Howard, Brantley and
Griggs vote with the Republicans on
this measure, but Charles Edwards
and Gordon Lee did, also.
Now, what was the effect of that
vote? 1t was to give the stand-pat
Republicans the leverage they needed
to pass the new tariff bill which in
ereases the profit Of the trusts and
adds to the burdens Of the people.
This desertion of the twenty-three
ished the Republicans the pole with
which they knocked down the per-
simmOn; it furnished them the axe
with which to cut the tree; it furn-
ished them the gun with which they
shot down the game; it furnished
them the fishing tackle with which
they caught the fish.
1t wasn't at all necessary after
wards that these traitors should vote
for the tariff bill, and it had not
been necessary for them previously
to vote for Cannon for Speaker. In
asmuch as the insurgent Republi-
cans were in the minority in their
own caucus, they were compelled to
vote for the caucus nominee for
Speaker (Mr. Cannon) and thus, be-
ing in a large majority, the Republi-
cans did not need any Democratic
help to elect their Speaker. Again,
the insurgents were not solidly OPP
posed to the tariff BILL as they had
been to the Cannon Rules. COnse-
quently these deserving Democrats
were not necessary to the passage of
the Payne-Aldrich bill. The Repub-
Iicans had enough votes of their own
to do that. The point upon which
Joe Cannon and his stand-pat col
leagues needed the Democratic de-
serters was in the matter of adopt
ing such rules as would leave Cam
nonism i'm control of Congress. The
Fitzgerald amendments did that,
and these Fitzgerald amendments
could not have been passed without
the aid of the twenty-three Demo-
Gratis.
Consequently, although the Bill

HOW CHARLES EDWARDS
HELPED CANNON.
HOW

Dear S1r:-EnclOSed l hand you
copy of letter Congressman Edwards
Is sending out to the voters of this
district.
You will note he has sent form
that he wishes used in reply.
Now, I wish to say that that I
don't believe that any intelligent
voter will support Mr.. Edwards if he
knows the facts concerning his vote
to perpetuate "Cannonism" in Con-
gress. Will you please explain fully
in The JeffersOnian how and why his
vote affects us-the common people,
Mr.. Giles has no newspaper in this
county that is supporting him. The
Statesboro News came out squarely
for Giles a few weeks ago. But since
making a trip to Washington, D. c.,
has Topped over to Charley.
Mr.. Miller, the editor of the States
boro News, said hard things about
Mr.. Edwards before he went to Wash
ington, D. c., but now Charley is

Answer.
The explanation of how Charles
Edwards and the other deserters pre-
served Cannonism from overthrow on
the 18th of March, 1909, cannot be
too often repeated.
Every voter who is interested in
this most important matter shoNld
write to his Congressman, or to one
of the Senators, requesting copy
of the Congressional Record for
March 18th, 1909. By reference to
this official Record. it will be dis
covered that, on the day named, the
House of Representatives was decid
ing how it should be controlled dur
ing the extra session. The Cannon
Republicans desired that it should be
ruled by the Committee Of Three, Of
which the Speaker was the Chair
man, and which had exercised des-
potic dominion over former sessions
of Congress. Therefore, Mr.. John
Dalzell, one of the three members of
this tyrannical Committee, proposed
that the extra session adopt the old
rules, which allowed him and Joe
Cannon and Serene Payne to boss
things. This motion was voted
down, because thirty-odd Republi-
cans, mostly from the West, had
grown rebellious, and they determin-
ed not to put their necks in the Can
non yoke any more. Then Hon.
Champ Clark, of Missouri, the Off
cial leader of the Democrats, pro-
posed a Committee of Fifteen to be
elected by the House, and to elect
it's own Chairman, which Committee
of Fifteen should take the place of
the Joe Cannon Committee of Three.
Had Mr.. Clark's motion prevailed,
this new Committee, elected by the
House. would have Immediately be-
gun to control legislation. In other
words, the House Of Representatives
would have become a self-governing,
deliberative body, as our forefathers
intended it to be.
On this proposition, Charles Ed
wards and Gordon Lee both voted
with the Democrats. Lon Livings-
ton, Bill Howard, Jim Griggs and W.
G.. Brantley voted with the Republi-

successor could have been found. The plan to make Senator Lodge ambassa- dor fell through at the time because the senator, while not absolutely de- clining, induced MT. Roosevelt to hold the appointment in abeyance.
 Even now Senator Lodge may not be willing to accept it. His senatori- al term will expire March 4, 1910, when he will have served 12 years in the senate There is no doubt that President Taft would be glad to send the senator to London if he could be induced to accept.
 The belief is that Lodge can be re- elected to the senate If he desires. But inasmuch as he is of the class from which ambassadors to Great Britain have usually been drawn, being lit- erary man, scholar and historian, there are allurements about the am- bassadorship that are hard for man of Senator Lodges type to resist.
 There is growing belief that with the retirement of Ambassador Reid, James Bryce, the British ambassador at Washington, will also be recalled. The British government, it is report ed, is merely waiting to see the type of ambassador that the United States will send to London before new rep rf Atative at Washington is selected.

LODGE TO SUCCEED REID
Washington Again Hears Massachu- setts Senator Will Be Ambassa-

Washington.-The rumor has been revived in diplomatic circles that SeH- ator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massacnu- setts will succeed Whitelaw Reid as ambassador to Great Britain.
 It was said here that the post was offered to him as long as year ago by President Roosevelt, after he had conferred with the then President. elect Taft, who agreed in the event or Senator Lodge accepting the proffered office, to retain him during the pres- ent administration.
 It is an open secret in Washington that President Roosevelt was dis pleased with the undemocratic and lavish display by Ambassador Reid and would have liked nothing better than to recall him if an acceptable
