... Congressman Clark, the leader of
the minority, stated a truth In his
, t peech Friday when he stated that
. the opposition to Speaker Cannon
was not of a personal nature but was
against the system. The great ma
jority of the reading public look up
on Speaker Cannon as a monarch of
the worst kind, but such Is not the
J$? by any means, There Is nc;
doubt' but what the powef Of the
Speaker, through the making of the
House rules has been greatly enlarg
ed as the years have gone by, until
the rights of the members have been
. . limited unjustly, ' . '; .
However, like all wrongs and all
abuses, time rights them, and the
fight that Is being made now In Con
gress will give a greater freedom!
The fact muBt not be overlooked that
the majority must have rules where
by they can control. By fillbuster
Ine; method a minority can defeat a
s majority, unless certain rules are
observed, such as a limit on debate
a limit on the time matters are to
be held la committees .- and many
. , things. It matters not which party
. la In power,' It must have rules that
permit It to rule.
