WHAT HAVE THEY eAINEpa

WEA1 HAVE FEY JAlNEDf
This query is forced on the inquiring
mind when applied to the revolt in the
House Of Representatives which has
eliminated in the humiliation but not in
the defeat of Speaker Cannon.
In the House of Representatives
thirty three Republicans, including Nor
ris of Nebraska as their leader, joined
issue with the Democrats and rebuked
Cannonisnl, but when there was offered
a resolution By Representative Burleson
of Texas to depose Cannon then and
there, these Republicans baked, in the
very face Of the defiance hurled at them
BY Speaker Cannon.
Nor did Speaker Cannon tnince his
words. He spoke with vitriolic tongue
and IN manner which awed the men
on the Republican side who dared not
repudiate him.
Il is true that by having determined
on a change Of the rules, the power of
the Speaker to dominate with an iron
hand has been modified, but in the selec-
ton OF the committee, as provided, not
one of the rebelIious Republicans has
been named This result, it would seem,
was obtained IN caucus of the Republi-
cans and leaves Cannonisn still in
force, if SHARED of some of the arbi-
trary power possessed by the Speaker
before the rebuke.
In the course Of the present Congress
there have been two opportunities Of
disposing Of Cannon. The first was
when Congress was organized. Had
some Democrats not joined the Repub-
leans Cannon could not have been
elected Speaker. The last was when
Burleson of Texas failed in the antici-
pated support he had the right to ex-
pect from the men who had damned
Cannon and his methods.
Among the leaders who voted to sus-
tain Cannon was Norris of Nebraska,
who was the most prominent figure in
denouncins him. However, this is not
surprising, since the possibility Of SUI
preceding Cannon with Democrat was
too much Cor the Insurgents.
Amidst these political connections
there is visible the CLEAN of light. The
people are beginning to understand the
meaning 81 Cannonism and in time viii
not hesitate to repudiate it no uncertain
sound.
But what have these @Insurgents'
gained By their remarkable surrender to
Cannonisn and TO all the evil It implies !?

a gazer. For the next sixty-nine even
