Closes Saturday

At noon today came to a close the
first annual convention of the North
eastern Oklahoma Teachers Associa-
tlon. The present meeting has been
a grand success from every standpoint
About 700 teachers have been in at
tendance, and all have thoroughly en-
ioyed the occasion, and have received
much instruction from the many splen-
did lectures that have been delivered.
This afternoon the teachers, who
did not leave for their homes were
taken for an automobile tour of the
city. However many of the teachers
left on the noon trains and did not
have the pleasure of this trip In de-
parting the visiting teachers We're
voeiferous in their praise of the treat
ment accorded them, and one Of them
said. "Of course, Vinita was not a
candidate for next years convention,
and II was right that she should not
be, but can tell you II these teach
ers have an opportunity to vote upon
another convention. you may be as
sured that Vinlta will get that con-
yentlon." In fact Vinita has done her
self proud. in the entertaining Of this
assembly, and in return for the com
pliment paid this city, 1t may be
truthfully said, and was expressed by
several that the gathering here was
the finest looking assemblage ever
seen here.
At this mornings session the pro
gram previously announced was car
rled out. and there vas no diversion
from that program. There were TIVE
regrettable absentees last night. Gov

CANNONISN TO Be
CAMPAIGN ISSUE
Congregational Elections viii Be
Based Upon, Question 0; Con-
tinued Rule.

Washington, March 28. 49, Cannon
and Cannonism are still destined to be
two of the leading issues in the ap-
preaching congressional campaign.
The people will be asked In the No
vember electibns to reserve the de-
cislon Of the present house OF repre-
sentatives, which by vote of 131 to
155, squarely endorsed Cannon and
Cannolsm by refusing to declare the
office og the speaker vacant and elect
new speaker
And this situation exists wholly by
decree OF the so-called republican Gin
surgents," who when placed in q po-
sitlon where they were forced to
either vote for or against Cannonism
voted for II.
The situation is clear cut There
is no opportunity to fool the folks at
home" through technicalities Only
nine republican insurgents are in a
position to stand before their eonstItu-
ents and declare; Il stand against
Cannonism." All other republicans
are on record here in Washington as
being for Cannon and Cannonism. Can
non and Cannonism mean Aldrich and
Aldrlchism. Aldrich and Aldriehism
mean tariff revision upward they
mean rule by Wall street and the tar
iff trusts.
The opportunity to take Cannon
and Cannonism, as issues, from the
on-coming campaign, presented itself
in the house, when, on last Saturday
afternoon, Representative Burles0n, Of
Texas, presented the following reso-
luton:
Resolved, That the Office of speak
er OF the house Of representatives Is
thereby declared TO be vacant, and the
house OF representatives shall at once
proceed to the election of speaker"
Page 3490 of the Congressional Rec
ord, tells what happened. Every dem
oerat voted In favor of the resolution.
One hundred and ninety-one republi-
cans voted against IT,
Here are the republicans who show
cd sufficient courage to vote as they
have talked, against Cannon and Can.

Murdoch, of Kansas; Cooper q Ms
consin; Cary, of Wisconsin: Nelson OF
wisconsin; Lenroot, Of Wisconsin;
Lindebergh, of Minnesota; Davis, Of
Minnesota. Poindexter of Washing
ton; Gronna, of North Dakota.
Here are some Of the republicans
who at various times have posed as
insurgents. but who. when the crucial
test came supported Speaker Can
