Secret Of Csnnon's Power.
In accounting for the great power
OF Speaker Cannon" said an old timer
in the house. most people overlook
an important factor. That is the in
fuence gained by Cannon as a member
Of the house twenfy-seven or twenty
eight years before lac was made speak
er. For part Of that time he was
chairman of the committee on appro-
priations. lie was n real power in
that role Many time he would head
a revolt. and through the influence Of
his personality he would beat the reg
uiar organization on important legis-
lation. He was a sort Of overload in
the house. He carried all that infiu-
ence into the speakership. In this
way he had a tighter grip on the ma
chinery Of the house than any Of his
predecessors.
The men who followed Cannon rs
the head Of the appropriations commit
tee never gained the prestige he held
there Tawney has been driven or the
floor time and again when he attempt
ed to override the organization. Uncle
Joe as speaker has had far greater
authority than that conferred by the

another was a black and white striped
combination
In the sombcr senate these brilliant
hues stood out prominently and i'm
mcdiately riveted the gaze Of the
folks in the galleries. For man who
gets bis keeucst pleasure out OF the
study Of ancient history Senator
Lodge affects many habits of the rah-
rah-rah boys In addition 10 his
weakness FOR loud shirts he is n
steady cigarette smoker
