SPEAKER CANNON
!. ,.MEETSs,BEFEAT

WASHINGTON, d. c., SPECIAL
The stirring scenes of the last SEES
sion OF Congress-. when the House
overthrow Speaker Cannon. and took
the making Of fts rules into it's own
hands. were :reepacted in part on the
floor of the House Tuesday.
Threatened with what they believed
10 be an effort to. draw the teeth"
Of one OF the most. inportant of the
new rules, Democrats and insurgents
joined IN the defeat of the Speaker.
BY a vote of 145 to 126, the combined
forces rallied to the support Of Re
preventative Fitzgerald (Dem.), of
New, York, and sustained him in his
appeal from the Speakers ruling.
The fight developed as the result Of
the second attempt TO use the new
rule which gives the House the pow
er 10 discharge a committee from fur
ther consideration Of a bill that has
been referred to IT. The Insurgents
and the Democrats believed that this
rule was ironclad; that as soon as the
consideration of bills by unanimous
consent had been concluded on
every first and third Monday of the
month the House was bound by the
new rule to take up-,the motions to
discharge committees from the Gus
tody Of specified bills.
Sc Forces Unite Against Cannon.
When the moment arrived yester-
day however, Speaker Cannon gave
recognition TO Representative Hull. OF
Iowa chairman Of the military af-
fairs committee. Mr.. Hull moved
that the House resolve itself into com
mittee OF the whole and take up the
consideration of the military appro-
pTiation bill, upon which IL had been
working last week.
There was an immediate railying OF
forces and stitfcning of ranks among
the insurgents and Democrats Mr.
rfizEe raid Insisted upon the consider
auon or motion 10 discharge a COM
mlttee which was upon the calendar
Speaker Cannou declined to give Mr.
Fitzgerald the preference. but said
that he would be glad to consider a
point OF order, IL Mr.. Fitzgerald want
eo TO make one.
The Democratic member declared
that ne did not have TO make a point
OF order; that ms was the right to
recognition under the new rule with
out the raising tof any point Of order
AGAINST the Speakers action.
you'll override me il / make
point OF order" said Mr.. Fitzgerald.
Speakers Ruling. !
Insurgents, Democrats and regulars
jumped into tho free debate that fol- /
lowed. Upon the Speakers refusal
TO recognize Mr. Fitzgerald, the latter
was finally forced 20 make a point of
order against the taking up of the |
army appropriation bill.
The Speaker had his ruling on the |
point prepared in advance and read
from manuscript He held that the
new rule did not make il mandatory
upon the House to take up the motions
to discharge committees; that II sim
ply made such motions in order il the
-Bo4sH desired to take them up.
Upon this bass the Speaker held
that Mr. HUI and the army appropri-
alton bill had the right of way, and
the motions provided for under the
new rule could not be interposed.
