After the combination of Democrats and insurgent Republicans had removed Cannon from the committee on rules and' had shown that they were sufficiently powerful to oust him from the speakership, the insurgents deserted —all except nine going over bodily to Cannon’s side and voting to keep him in the speakership, where he can continue to control legislation. It was thus, through insurgent faint-hearted-ness or treachery, that Cannonism was not overthrown

completely. The ” country has been given an object lesson. Only by electing a Dempdratic congress can the house of represen-

tatives be taken out of the clutch* of the interests that work their own and not the people’s will in that body.

The Rev. D. ,W. C. Helt, who has resigned his commission as an officer in the Anti-Saloon League, has come to the conclu-

sion that the use and sale of intoxicating liquors must be handled by education and reasonable regulation and not by prohibition. Perhaps also, Dr. Helt became tired of being connected with an organization which has become a mere Republican annex.

President Taft never loses an opportunity to praise the outrageous Payne-Aldrich tariff law. Whenever he speaks he defends the law against all attacks. In his eyes it is a thing of beauty and a joy forever—the greatest, wisest and best tariff legislation that this or any other country ever saw or is ever likely to see. There is no law against Mr. Taft believing all this—if he does believe it—but about eighty millions of people in the United States have a contrary opinion. All the people know because they feel the effects of the law.

Had the insurgent Republicans stood by us on that vote to declare the Chair vacant and to elect a Speaker, Cannonism, with all that name implies, would have been as dead as the men who lived before the flood. As it is the issue of Cannonism survives in full force, for as sure as a gun is made of iron, if the Republicans elect a majority of the next House, Mr. Cannon will be re-elected speaker. In the public mind Mr. Cannon and Cannonism are absolutely synanymous. They cannot be disassociated by any sort of incantation or legerdemain. We have in this victory simply scotched Cannonism, not killed it, and the net result is that the people if they really desire to do away with Cannonism must do so by electing a Democratic House. That’s the only way known among men by which to accomplish that result—a consummation devoutly to be wished.”— (From Statement by Champ Clark.)

As an indication of the political trend, Eugene N. Foss of Boston was elected to congress Tuesday from the Fourteenth district. Running on the Democratic ticket in a district which in 1908 gave the late William C. Lovering, Republican, a plur l ality of 14,256, Mr. Foss defeated William R. Buchanan of Brocton the Republican nominee, by 5,617 votes. This showing in the fourteenth district is agressively and demonstratively insurgent. It turned a majority of 14,000 for a Republican into an excess of 5,617 for a Democrat of comparatively recent conversion. The surprising accomplishment of Mr. Foss cannot be attributed to the stay-at-home Republicans. The Republicans came Out in greater numbers than had been expected and went to the polls, but they showed their preference for the Democratic candidate. It was not a ridiculously small vote, for in some towns the total poll was nearly equal to that cast at the national election in 1908. In 1908 Mr. Lovering and Mr. Packard divided 27,668 votes in the district. The tariff was the leadinng issue in the election. Mr. Fross is said to be the first democrat ever elected from that district.

“CANNONISM” NOT YET OVERTHROWN.

In the struggle just ended in the house against Cannonism the Republican insurgents, when the final test came, proved their insincerity, or at least their lack of courage. It was only by overthrowing Cannon that “Cannonism” in the present congress could be wiped out. And yet when the Democrats had shown that, with the aid of the insurgents, they had power to overthrow Cannon completely by ousting him from the speakership, all of the insurgents but nine refused to join them. The other insurgents voted to keep Cannon in the speakership. Im this way Cannonism was “left on the job,” so to speak. It is to the'credit of the Democratic members that they voted to a man to depose Cahnon. If all of the so-called Republican insurgents had voted with them

the country would have seen the end of Cannonism. But only nine had the’ courage to do it. Crumpacker and Barnard, the only two republican congressmen from. Indiana, voted to keep Cannon in the speaker’s chair.

It should be borne in mind that the resolution to oust Cannon was offered by Burleson, a Democratic congressman; that every Democratic member supported the resolution; that only nine insurgents voted for it; that all of the other insurgents voted against it and for Cannon; and that in this way, over the protest of the Democrats, both Cannon and Cannonism will continue to dominate congress.

THE SENATORIAL QUESTION.

The suggestion of Governor Marshall that, in view of the repeated declaration in Democratic platforms in favor of the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people, it would be advisable for the state convention to select a candidate for the senate to oppose Beveridge, is receiving extended consideration. It is apparent that there is a conflict of opinion as to whether the suggestion is one of which the party can or should avail itself this year, however meritorious and desirable it may be as a general proposition. Plausible reasons are urged both for and against the naming of a senatorial candidate by the convention which will assemble on the 27th and 28th of April. In the end, doubtless, the convention itself will settle the question in such manner as seem to the delegates best for the party. And in the meantime there is no cause for excitement or undue contention. So far as the result of the campaign is concerned it can make little, it any, difference whether the convention names a party candidate for the senate or leaves the choice to a caucus of the Democratic members of the legislature.

Governor Marshall in no sense has assumed the attitude of attempting to dictate to the convention. He has merely exercised his right, as an individual Democrat, to express his opinion upon the subject, just as any other Democrat may express the same or a contrary opinion. The attempt of the Republican press to make it appear that the governor’s suggestion is either to help or hurt any Democrat who aspires to be senator is foolish. And equally as foolish is the effort of the Republican press to make it appear that Democrats who do not at this time indorse the governor’s suggestion are actuated by either personal or political animosity against him. Indiana Democrats do not propose to quarrel—not this year at least. They may have different views as to what is best to do under given circumstances, but to a man they are going to abide the action of their state convention on all questions and concentrate their energies against the opposition. And they will do it with enthusiasm, too, and thereby win a victory which is very essential to the public welfare.
