Cannon said today that there would .
be no effort in the caucus to punish .
anybody for what might be termed

the caucus and take pot luck on the
result. Whatever the majority final
IL determined upon should be accept

The caucus is for the naming of the
committee to investigate the Ball

the regulars and the Insurgents either
will be al least temporarily cemented
in some degree OF harmony or the
breach between them Will have been
irreparably wjdcnod.
The insurgents insist that all they
desired in the whole Baillnger- Pin

committee that will go TO the bottom
of the whole business revealing what
IL may and returning an honest YER

The insurgents are making no effort
to have any OF their number put up
