BuRL1NeAME, Kan, July 1s.-Jos-
eph G. Cannon will not abandon the
race for speakership of the next house
OF representatives. This be made plain
near the conclusion of his speech at
Emporia this afternoon. He said he
would abide by the will of the repub.
lican caucus. il the republicans control
the next congress-, but that no s'muck.
raking magazines" could make him
say be would not be q candid ate. In
other words, he said he would not
make an effort to win the s~peskership,
yet the emphasis with which he spoke
made 1t plain that II the republican
caucus should nominate him be would
be willing to serve.
II am speaker and in March next
I will have been speaker for eight
years. q longer continuous term than
any man ever served as speaker since
the found alton of the government"
said Mr.. Cannon. "There was only
one man who has had q longer service
as speaker than I have had, and there
was an interim OF four years in his
service. That was Henry Clay, who,
in the aggregate, served 10 years as
speaker. Somebody has got to be the
scapegoat through magazines and let
tiers. Candidate for congress are
asked, will you pledge yourself not
to vote for that old car for speak
err"
"Oh, the scspegoat! This little 154.
pounds Of clay cannot bear many sins
off into the wilderness. II my con.
stituency is as kind to me as it has
been for 36 years I will go back, il
God spares my life, and be in the next
congress, either in the majority or in
the minority, and 1 would rather be
there In a republican minority. a real
virile republican minority, than to be
one OF any apparent majority that
could not take account of stock and
know from one day to another whether
it was the majority or the minority"

DEMOCRATIC DAY DREAMS.

About this time in every even mum.
bered year the democratic party
sweeps the country. In July, 1906.
they carried the House of Representa-
tives. Bryan had himself elected In
July, 1908, Of said he had. And his
campaign managers conceded that be
was correct.
An interview OF this cheerful sort
has just been given out in New York
by a democratic leader. He says the
republicans are split into factions;
that the democrats are harmonious;
that they will carry the house of re.
representatives. in November, and make
q gain of I've or elk senator's; that in
the house Of the coming congress the
democrats will pass q tariff bill which
will reduce the duties to q revenue
basis; that they will cut down appro-
priations to the wants Of the govern.
ment economically administered, and
that they will restore the merchant
Gag to the seas, but not by subsidy.
And, incidentally, he declares that the
tariff will be the paramount issue in
the campaign, and that the c attic
party will win on it.
1t may be we'll to cay at the outset
that the mar who gave out this inter.
view Is one of the men who, as q mem.
Der of the notification committee, in.
formed Parker in midsummer of 1904
that he was to be elected that year by
one of the biggest majorities which
any candidate for the presidency had
received in a generation. The sam
democratic prophet, who is q Mis-.
sourian, by the way, is just as con-
6dent now, or pretends to be, that a
big victory is just ahead for his party.
1t is hard to imagine that he believes
what be says, but it is possible that
he does.
The pretense that the democrats can
make a winning canvass on the tariff
sounds strange to anybody who re.
members the wrangles among the de.
mocrats of each chamber when the
Payne act was before them. Many
democrats In each chamber broke
away from their titular leaders. The
split among them on the tariff was
worse than It was among the republi.
cans, while the democrats lack the re.
p%ublicans' rallying power ia a crisis.
On many divisions in the sen ate
Aldrich had more democrats on his
side than went with their chosen
spokesman, Culbertson. In that tariff
fight the democratic house leader was
unable to lead. 1t was q go-as-you.
please fight among the democrats.
Republican Emergencies attracted
more notice by the country, for the re.
publican party was dominant, and
was responsible for legislation.
The democrat, who, at this late day,
predicts republican defeat forgets the
record which the republican party
made in enacting constructive legisla.
ton in the recent session.-Globe.
