ton to the fact that for the system
that was overthrow Speaker Cannon
was not responsible. 1t was estab-
lished by Reed over twenty years
ago and continued and strengthened
from time to time under Crisp. a
Democrat, the second regime of Reed,
and Henderson. For sixty years the
speaker has been a member of the
rules committee. Cannon has been
following the precedents not only OF
Reed and Crisp and Henderson, but
of the speakers before them, Car
Isle and Randall and Blaine In rul
ing the Norris resolution out of or
der Saturday he based his opinion on
the argument of Randall, a great Dem
Democratic speaker, in similar case
II is mistake to blame Cannon per
sonally for the house rules. It is ever
an error to call the system Cannon

the policy of any other speaker 70
