INSURGENTS
IGNORANT"
SAYS CANNON

Marion, Kan, July 20.-More Yigor-
Gus and picturesque phrases were used
In the long range debate between
Speaker Cannon and Senator Bristo*.
Speaker Cannon, apparently com
pletely recovered from his recent at
tack of weakness, Justify assailed Re
publican insurgents In his speech here.
do you~see that foot2 1t is cloven,
and / wear a shoe to conceal the
fact" said Speaker Cannon as he
plunged directly into his attack upon
the party rebels.
Sometimes 4 wonder why men that
kick out Of their party organization
can't learn something. There are lots
of things hat I don't get my way
about in the Republican party, but l
abide by the majority. The man that
kicks out of his tracks like a balky
mule ought to get out Of the harness.
Whenever you hear the man talking
about how congress Is going to kick
out of the party traces, how he Is
going to be a refermer and straighter
out things, then you want to watch
him.
Il have high respects for the mar
who honestly differs with me on gov.
ornamental policy. / am a Republican
dyed in the wool and have been q
partisan since l voted for Lincoln
Then he continued:
"In the framing Of the tariff bill
seven senators, Bristow, La Toilette
Clapp, Beverldge and company and
twenty-three representatives said: "I1
you Won't let us say how this tarin
shall be framed we won't play in the
game. Now who were the czars?
when Bristow made that statemen,
OF his on rubber he stated a falsehood
No, maybe he was ignorant. God for
bid the thought that the insurgents
lied every time they mis~represented.
"Bristow may agonize, but the coun
try goes marching on to prosperity.
Il have only one fault to find with
Murdoch and Bristow; they do not co
operate with their Republican breth
rem. They kick from morning til
dewy evening"
Then n speaker got a side wheel
movement of his right arm, turned like
a pivot on n foot, began waggine his
head. speaking deep and solemn all
h while, and as he prodded the fore
finger of his left hand right through
h lungs Of his bearers he flashed:
SIT Is we'll I have not the power tc
send people to the insane asyIums."
Senator Bfistow at Holton replied to
Speaker Cannon's trust on the ruhbe,
schedule in which Uncle Joe said the
senator had either "wiifuily, knowing
ly or ~ignorantly'' misrepresentea facts.
He pronounced the speaker q rudimen
tary judge of rubber.
tsThat there is rubber and rubber Mr..
Cannon evidently forgets," he said.
when he says that the increased du
ties on manufactured rubber did not
result In a decrease In importation.
evidently he referred only to hard rub
Der. If the speaker will look up the
rubber question be will find that there
dfe uiIeIenC KINGS OIL elastic Or soft
rubber to which my statements apply
exactly.
at would have been better taste for
Speaker Cannon to demand that his
committee Of representatives stand by
the house tariff schedule than to ask
them to stand for the Aldrieh sched-
ule and then that Cannon come to
Kansas to defend the tariff bill and
the man who dictated its passage.
Speaker Cannon, / am told, said
that he did not know that Senator
Aldrich organized a trust. In my Win
field address / set forth facts contain
ed In official documents In Poor's Man
uai and the Wall Street Journal, which
are considered reliable authority by
every business man in this country.
whether Senator Aldrieh is guilty
of a technical violation of the statutes
| do not know. 1t is the duty of the
attorney general to investigate viola
tons of the Sherman antitrust law.
But / do know that he is guilty of
violation of political decency and of
political honesty"
