NO I FRIGHTENED
BY COMBINATION

Washington, D. c., January 6.-"The
insurgent Republicans Of the House
are not intimidated by the action of
the administration in Withholding
patronage from them, and are not
scared into silence by any apparent
combination of President Taft and
Speaker Cannon against us"
This was the declaration to-day OF
Representative Norris, of Nebraska,
one of the leading insurgents of the
House. Mr.. Norris resented stories
published to-day to the effect that
the insurgents Were lying down" I'M
der the edict of the administration.
On the contrary. Mr.. Norris criticized
President Taft himself for the act of
the administration In singing out In
surgent, Representatives for punish
ment
president Taft is making a grave
mistake by aiding Cannon in this
way, and I want to say SO unhesitat-
tingly" continued Mr.. Norris. II do
not object. nor do any of the insur-
gents object. as far as 1 know. to the
Withholding of patronage from us. But
1 denounce this singing out of men
who have opposed Cannon and the
House organization for an infliction of
punishment.
How can the President say that we
are opposed TO his policies and de-
clare that we are to be punished for
it when we have not opposed his
policies In any way? In fact, we do
not know yet what President Taft's
policies are to- be. Still we have been
/ punished.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
admitted that we are being discrim-
mated against right now, although we
have done absolutely nothing to merit
At excepting to oppose Cannon and the
House machine.
IL Aiding Cannon.
THE President is aiding Cannon.
There is no other construction that
can be placed upon this move OF the
administration. II he Is not, why have
the insurgents who opposed Cannon
been singled out as the ones upon
which the presidential displeasure is
to be visited? If the President is mot
aiding Speaker Cannon. then why are
only the anti-Cannon men being pun
ished by the ostmaster-General, act
ing at the Presidents behest.
II want to say also that this eff
fort to defeat us by starting fights
against us at home is open to very
vigorous criticisms. have no OBJ
lection to Speaker Cannon or any OF
| his supporters coming to Nebraska
and making any kind Of fight upon
me they wish 10 make, but do not
think that the Republican Congress
sional Committee has any honorable
| right to attack. It is unjust and un-
fair.
That the committee Is doing this
there is no doubt in my mind"
