LONGWORTH AGAINST CANNON
THE OHIO MAN ISSUED STATE
MENT FROM BEVERLY.
He Says He is Convinced That Party
Success Depends Upon "Uncle
Joe's" Retirement.

Beverly, Massachusetts, Congress
man Nicholas Lonkworth of Ohia, SON
in-law of Col Roosevelt opened the
fight of the Republican party reorgani-
cation against Speaker Cannon.
In the statement which was fore
casted Mr.. Longworth declares that
having voted for him in caucus on
four different occasions he has sup
ported Cannon for the speakership for
the last time and that when the proper
time comes namely the meeting of the
Republican caucus at the opening Of
the next congress he will oppose him.
Mr.. Longworth makes it clear that
harmony in the ranks and party sue
cess depends upon Cannon's elimina-
ton.
81 am absolutely convinced" he says,
that Mr.. Cannon cannot be again
elected speaker"
Senator Aldrich's retirement being
absolutely assured this concerted
movement to get rid of Cannon is the
next step in the work of reorganiza'
ton that has been undertaken by Re
publican leaders close to Taft.
The importance of the Longworth
statement lies not only in the fact that
the Ohio congressman long time
friend and supporter of Cannon issued
it but that it was not given to the
public until after a series of confer
ences with Taft and other leaders thai
have called here and that the presi
dent was acquainted with the context
of the statement in advance of its
publication, and that Vice-President
Sherman likewise was informed of the
contemplated move and gave it hi'
tacit approval

For fully two hours there is q very
awful silence. You hear only the sigh
Of expectation from the great, gaunt
throng around the sacred chapel
Suddenly, the circles reel and sway.
A tangled group within the inner
zone starts to run in frenzy Of long
sustained suspense. The delirium Is
communicated. Twenty, thirty, fifty,

Church, streams an embroidered pro-
cession. Its solemn chant and ca
dences that have echoed from the
Cayster to the Tiber, that have thun-
dered from the throne Of Constantine
to the Battle of Navarino, mingle
with the yelling of the voices of the
pilgrim-mob. This mob drives the
Turkish soldiers from the church.
Its on-seething rush bears the Greek
Patriarch Damianos from within the
procession toward that still silent
Chapel of the Holy Sepulehre. And
its door is shut.
The rotunda is now an uproar Ike

Homer. Hundreds of bare arms are
stretched out toward that silent
Chapel of the Sepulchre off there.
Still It speaks not. Beside the aper-

Suddenly a bright fame flashes
across the tiny window. The sus-
tanned excitement OF the next few
moments will never be forgotten as
long as life lasts. The fire is caught
by the pale-faced priest. And slowly,

Of passionate pilgrims, of stately

and dulcet chanting of the

Amidst the oriental confusion, the

borne out of the church on the shoul-
