Speakers Power Curbed and Rise of
Insurgents.

Until the fall elections, the most
dramatic event associated with the
;pirit of political unrest in this country
vas the undOing of Speaker Cannon
n the House of Representatives. First
he House voted not to let the Speaker
appoint its members on the Ballinger-
finchOt investigation committee. but to
select the members itself.
That was in January. Later, tine
democrats and the 'insurgent" and
)ther republicans to the number of
thirty-five united to pass a resolution
authorizing a new committee on rules,
much larger than the old committee
and elected by the ma jOrity and mi
aority members of the House. with the
distinct provision that the Speaker
should not be on the committee. OF the
Did committee the Speaker was chair
man. and that committee he appointed.
Il was charged widely both in and out
u Congress that the committee ran the
House to suit itself
Since the beginning of the first regu-
lar session of the SiXty-first Congress
N December. 1909, there had been much
discontent over what were called the
lyrannical ways Of the committee, and
finally. on March 10. after a bitter de-
cate lasting two days the Speaker
