WASHINGTON. May While Speak er
CannoR's : speech al Boston yesterday has
had the effect Of further intensifying the
hitter feelings entertained toward him
by the insurgents, there are signs that the
opposition IL about % reconsider its de-
! termination to force the passage Il a
resolution declaring the Speakers chair
vacant
A few weeks ago the insurgents practi-
cally had reached an agreement that
after they had emerged from the legisla-
tive Jungle a resolution should be offered
deposing the Speaker Az that time u
was believed that the Democratic minority
and all the insurgents would support such
a resolution. The Democrats have besn
doing a lot of think ing lately and have
about reached the conclusion that IL " ould
he unwise for them to pick the CheStnuis
out of the fire for the Republican insur-
gents.
Representative Fitzgerald Of New Nork
and certain other Democrats have argued
that u Uncle Joe il bounced out of the
Speakcrship the issue Of Cannonism will
be laid low for all time and that a live
issue upon which the party hoped 10 poll
many votes would be a. dead a. a OGDEN
Indian.
Representative Murdock II Kansas
wants tn depose tha Speaker. and tho
chances ar. that he will present such a
resolution and insist upon 10 passage
even though he may be convinced In adj
vance that the fight is hopeless.
Mr. Murdoch has mads a canvass 81
the insurgents ln the past week and II is
understood that he has discovered an
epidemic ~ cold feet arn0ng his asso-
crates. He is of the opinion. hOvever.
that Il a resolution 10 deposs is submitted
the Democrats will nave 10 support IL.

crats Ould be unable to'make any capital
