Lowery was visited in his cell to-

his wanderings since he left Utica, and

Lowery says he desires no ball and

the bank officials, 1t is said, that he
played the stock market alone and
unguided, and sometimes had won. AT
one time, he said, he owed the bank

that amount. Soon afterward, how

failure of New York concerns.

Emporia, Kan, July 1s.--"Speaker
er Cannon is not only a standpatter
but stand-stiIler," Congressman Vic
tor Murdoch, Kansas Insurgent in the
House OF Representatives. said to-day.
Following In the wake of Speaker Cam
non, he defended the Insurgent cause

charges made here yesterday. He
charged Mr., Cannon with affiliations
with Tammany Hall. and asserted the
greatest thing the Insurgents accom-
plished in the last session Of Con-

is not only stand -patter, but stand

has opposed about all the progressive
Legislation that has been offered and
the wonder is that SO much OF it has
managed to creep into the statute
books.
Now listen to me. want to tell
you something that Cannon did not
mention in his speech yesterday.
While posing as q partisan, as an ar
dent advocate OF party fealty, he has
played in the dark with Tanmany. He

and by deal that was rotten to the
core. a deal that has made a stencil III
the nostrils Of the nation.
Always a Stumbling Block.
Cannon has thoroughly poisoned
the springs of representative govern
ment for thirty years. He had helped
to block the way to light and free
dom.
Speaker Cannon was interested in
just two things in the tariff bill-the
protection of petroleum and its pro-
ducts. and the tariff on women's s
gloves. When the. ii:attrgents offered
an amendment. reducing tie tariff on
petroleum., Cannon left his chair, and
