MIL FIGHT III NEXT CONGRESS Effort Will Be Made to Depose Speaker Joseph G. 'Cannon. POSSIBILITIES OF CASE.

SPEAKER WILL BE ELECTED DURING SPECIAL SESSION WHICH WILL BE CALLED TO REVISE THE TARIFF.

(Special to Palladium "Washington D. a, Oct. 24. Public Interest in national politics will not end with, the election on November 3. Almost immediately the complexion of the next house of representatives is de

cided will begin the fight over the speakership, now generally regarded

as the second most important office un

der the government Reports reaching Washington from several of the middle western states indicate there is almost If not quite as much interest in the speakership as in the presidency. This is due, of course, to the strenuous efforts being made to prevent election to the next house of Speaker Joseph G. Cannon, from the Eighteenth

Illinois district; and, should he be reelected, to prevent his becoming speaker of the sixty-first congress. The fight for the speakership . will open as soon as it Is known how the next house will stand politically. Should the Democrats have a majority the retirement of Cannon will follow as a matter of course, and there will be a spirited race in a free field for the succession. Should the house be Republican by anything like a close margin the fight against Cannon will be continued with renewed energy in a effort to hold enough anti-Cannon republicans in line to prevent his election. Should the Republican majority be as large or larger than in the present house the at

tempt to defeat Cannon would be little more than perfunctory, as there would

be small chance of its succeeding.

The Republican majority in the pres

ent congress is fifty-seven. Opponents

of Cannon's re-election declare that

should this majority be reduced to aa

low as twenty-five in the next congress, Cannon cannot be elected speaker. There are in the present congress, it is declared, not less than eighteen Republicans who would vote against Cannon were there a prospect of encompassing hi3 defeat. All but three" of them are candidates this year for reelection in reasonably safe Republican districts. - Of Republican candidates making the race for the first time for congress and reasonably certain of election, it is declared that at least fifteen of them are known to have pledged themselves either publicly or privately to oppose Cannon's eleqfion to the speakership. This would make thirty Republican members ready to bolt the Republican caucus and hold

out against Cannon's election. There are a score of others, declare the antiCannon agitators, who would join this force the moment it appeared success was possible. Election in March. Ordinarily the speaker of the next congress would not be elected until December of next year, but as there is to be an extra session of , the sixty-first congres for the purpose of tariff revision, the election will occur in March instead of December. There is no doubt that if the next house is Republican and Mr. Cannon is returned as a member of it, he will be the Republican maucus nominee for speaker. To elect a speaker requires a

majority of all the votes cast. It will be seen, therefore, that should the Republican majority in the house be twenty-five, and twenty-six Republicans should stand solidly together and refuse to vote for Cannon his election would be Impossible.

Such a happening-would precipitate about the biggest row ever witnessed in the American congress. From the view point of many people such a fight at

the beginning of an extra session of

congress called to construct a tariff bill would be disastrous; but there are other people who; believe the continuance of Cannon in power would be a greater evil than failure to pass a tariff bill. Possibilities Interesting. "With a deadlock In the house over election of a speaker, the possibilities would be limitless and of absorbing Interest. Three possibilities stand out above the others. Should the house managers become convinced that the "insurgents" meant to stand- firm and

that the election of Cannon was im

possible, they might induce Cannon to withdraw, convene another caucus and nominate another candidate. This would not be done, however, until after terrific pressure had been brought to bear upon the insurgents and had failed to move them. A second possibility ia that the in

surgents would vote for the Democratic caucus nominee, thus electing a Democratic speaker of a Republican house. This would be drastic and revolutionary, but it would not be without precedents in state legislatures, especially where the election of a United States senator was involved. Kentucky recently furnished such a precedent. A third possibility would be for the Democrats to vote with the insurgents and elect their candidate for speaker. Under the present circumstances this might be done without calling down upon the heads of Democratic members the wrath of their fellow-partisans. The national Democratic platform has denounced Cannonism and it has been made an issue in the campaign. Should

a sufficiet number of Republicans to assure success invite the Democrats to show their good faith by voting for some Republican other than Cannan, the Democrats could give no very good excuse for refusing; especially would this be true should the insurgents, after creating the deadlock, serve notice on the Democrats than unless they voted for the insurgent candidate the insurgents would disband and allow Cannon to be elected.

WRIGHT A FAVORITE

Aviator Makes Friends Among Army Officers for His . Pluckiness.

IS RECOVERING - RAPIDLY.

Washington. D. C, Oct. 24. If everything continues to go well, Orvllle Wright, the injured aviator, now at the post hospital at Fort Myer,' will be allowed to go home in " about a few days to finish his convalescence at Dayton, O. Post Surgeons Bailey and Winter, who have been caring for the patient, are well satisfied with the progress he is making. They are still very careful of him, as they have noticed that sustained conversation or any excitement is likely to raise his temperature a little. ' There has been nothing alarming in this line, but they are unwilling to take the least chance. Consequently Mr. Wright's visitors have limited to relatives and Octave Chanute, who is a very old and close friend. Even Lieut, Lahm has been denied access to him since his return from St' Joseph.

Mr. Wrights bones are Knitting

isfactorily to all appearances, but the

surgeons say that they never feel absolutely confident of a broken bone until use has proved it all right. Mr. Wright is naturally high strung and nervous, but he has great self-control, and he has stood his enforced inaction wonderfully well. He is looking forward to his return home, and it is thought that his recovery will be hastened by being among old friends and familiar scenes. The extension of time granted by the government for completing the aeroplane trials will put them well into next summer, and there is every prospect now that Mr. Wright will be able to carry out the trials himself. This he wants to do from sentimental reasons. If there were any hurry about it his brother Wilbur would come over from France and complete the flights as soon as he had finished the contract with the French sydlcate, but it is. not likely that he will step in and deprive his brother of the privilege. The army officers and other officials of the war department have come to feel a personal friendship for the game little aviator, and it Is safe too say that his reappearance in the field trials will be marked by an ovation.
