PARSONS COVETS SENATORIAL TOGA Planning to Make Trouble for Speaker Cannon During Next Session. t i WAR WITH UP-STATE MEN Representative From Manhattan Charges Peal Whereby Tamma ny's Strenaah Was Thrown to Presiding Officer of House. BY LLOTi) F. LONEROAN. NEW YORK. Oct. 12.-(Speclal.) Be hind the charges Which Congressman Herbert Parsons has marie against cer tain up-state leaders, whom he accuses of having entered Into a corrupt bargain with Tammany, is the material for the prettiest kind of a flsht for the Senate seat of Chauncey M. Depew. Parsons Is thoroughly convinced that v.. -t ,-,-.., ifv ranriiriate. Otto Bannard, is doomed to defeat. He has already com- menced-to cry fraud, ana oiamre ui. state men for falling to pass the numer ous' election hills which he sent to Al bany lust session. Parsons says that there was a plot, entered into between Tammany Hall leg islators and -Cannon Republicans.' In return for the defeat of the election laws Parsons wanted, so Parsons claims, the Democratic organixatlon agreed to throw Its votes at Washington to Cannon, who was hard pressed. The weak point of the story Is that tje leader of the Democratic Insurgents was Congressman John J. Fitxgerald. of Brooklvn. who is McCarren's right-hand man. "Nobody believes for an Instant that Murphy could give orders to the energetic Jlr. Fitxgerald. Fitzgerald Coppers Good Thing. But FitzRerald saw a chance to land on good committees. He Is now on the rules committee, a position that has- not been accorded to a New York City -man since the year of the big wind. The Brooklyn man s friends say that he sim ply took advantage of an excellent op portunity to riee, and he agrees with them. 1 know nothing of any deal," says Fitzgerald, earnestly, "and It is incred ible that there could have been any deal. There, were some rumors In circulation, of course, while the fight for control was going on. but the amendments that I prctentec.at that tiiife were the result of conviction. "I did not believe it wise to place the 'duties of the Speaker in the hands of a committee, and 1 told the. Democratic members so before I took any action. Vnat I should be Involved In any such oet: as Persons talks about is absurd, fcr my feelings toward Tammany are veil known." Assails Up-State Men. ' The men who are most bitterly as sailed by Fsrsons are John Raines, Re publican leader in the State Senate, and Congressman George Malby, of St. Law rence County, one of the really Influ ential :ntn In the upper end of the Em p:re State. It is an interesting fact that both of thse men sxe already on record as op posing the elevation of Parsons from the lower house of Congress to the Senate. And under ordinary circumstances, they will have a great deal to say regarding the Identity of Depew's successor. Parsons has had his eye on a Senatorial toga for many years. He wanted to be a candidate a year ago, and tearfully withdrew when Roosevelt practically dic tated the selection of Ellhu Root. But he believed that he had things properly ar ranged for a triumph, and that when the legislature met in January, 1911, he would be hailed as the man to be sent to Washington for a six years' term. But since Congress adjourned. Parsons has heard some disquieting news. He had participated in several skirmishes with the Cannon forces, and In conse quence was told that the Speaker's friends did not think that he was a safe man. Also that the rural leaders thought that the metropolitan district should be content with one Senator, Mr. Root. Down in Cannon Column. The up-state delegation to Congress has always been unswervingly "regular." Every time there has been a fight, both sides have unhesitatingly put the rural Congressmen down ln ,the Cannon col umn. The up-state men are also poli ticians of standing In their respective communities, and have a distressing habit of ruling the delegates to the various conventions, while their. State Senators and Assemblymen usually- eat out of their hands. And the fact that they were opposed to him was unpleasant news te Parsons. To be nominated, he must have the support of up-state men. At the present time there are X Republicans in the Sen ate, and only three of these come from New York (i.unty. In the lower house are S9 Republican Assemblymen, of whom nine are representatives of Manhattan. So it can easily be seen that Parsons. If he relies on his own constituents exclu sively, is very far from having 'even a decent representation In the legislative eaucus. ' The defection of Raines, Malby, Sereno Payne and others who usually follow them would be enough to put Parsons out of the running for higher honors, and he thoroughly realizes that fact. So he is doing the best he knows how to stir up their constituents. And he really be lieves that his crusade will prove a suc cess. ThJrata for Trouble. It is Parsons' plan to stir up all- the trouble possible. He figures that if Ban nard is defeated, he will be able to lay the blame on the broad shoulders of the up-state men. who failed to properly aid the party In the section where it was weak and needed all the aid that It could legitimately receive. Should e happen to win it will be despite the handicap of designing men" who put the interests of l: nele Joe Cannon above the necessities xf their own clan in New York State If Parson carries out his present Ideas he will go Into the state convention next Fall, and raise a terrible rumpus. He will court defeat, u nil v.... ., . - r.'unuij v. BC- commodated. Then If the election goes wrong, but the Legislature Is saved lie will be In the position of being the proper man for the party to hbnor. as the one who had given warning beforehand of what was bound to happen. r Parsons has confided to his friends that to carry out his Ideas It will be neces sary for htm to raise Cain during the next session of Congress. He realizes thoronghly that he is a marked man, from the Cannon standpoint, and that his only salvation Js to t a very naughty insurgent. Backed by Manhattan. In any actionthat lie may take. Par sons will be supported by the two other republicans from Manhattan. Olcott and Bcnnet. These two have usually lined up with the organization, but now they must do as Parsons says, unless they are anxious to be denied a renomtnation. for the county chairman is In absolute control of the local organization. Cannon s frlendsay that they are glad that Parsons has come out into the open against their leader. For over a year, they say. they have been suspicious of him. Parsons made no secret of his dis approval of the handling of the tariff bill. At one time ft was believed that he was ready to vote against the meas ure, but at the last moment he and his faithful followers wheeled Into line, al though they permitted it to be under stood that they thought that a great mistake rad been committed. Speaker Cannon charges that the out break of Parsons is due to disappoint ment over a failure to land committee assignments to which he had laid claim, but which were denied him. Parsons a.-kod la.t session to be placed on the committee on foreign and interstate commerce, made vacant by the promo tion of Vice-President Sherman, and It Is not denied that the Speaker told him that he (Tarson." was already well pro vided, and that he had no right to de mind greater honors. Friend Bonnet PunlfliecL j But the friends of th? New York City leader sav that not only "was Parsons ignored, but his close friend Bennet of Manhattan was punished because of his lovalty to his leader. Bcnnet was the ri nking member of the' committee on Indian lands, and was in line for the chairmanship, when Con gressman Cushman died. Instead of re ceiving that place, or another equally prominent, Bennet was dropped from the committee entirely, and given sn obscure place on the committee on Indian lands. The explanation, according to the New York men. is that both Parsons and Ben net were punished because of their sup port of President Roosevelt in his secret service fight. When Speaker Cannon made his charge that Parsons was influenced by inter ested motives In his attack on the Cannon-Tammany combination, so called. Parsons demonstrated by his reply that he is prepared to lead a bitter war In the House this Winter. "The Speaker is always complaining that so many men are cowardly." he re marked. "He can hardly criticise me If I try to follow his advice and show some courage. I stand by my original State ment that there was a deal between some upstate Republicans and Tammany men, to get support for Cannon and the rules in the House of Representatives. I am not surprised that some people object to my saying this at the present time, but I cannot agree with them that It means the ruin of the grand old party of wlch I have been a member ever since I have had a vote." Parsons' bold defiances of the present ruling powers in , the National party has led to the suggestion In some quar ters that lie expects that Theodore Roosevelt will soon return, to resume control of the organization, and to save him (Pamons) from further humiliation at the hands of Cannon and his friends. In all quarters It. is agreed that he has run straight Into the biggest hornet's nest that the Republicans have encoun tered In a decade. It Is also certain that before the buzzing- ceases, a number of persons who have not heretofore been mentioned will probably be badly "stung."
