his belief that his campaign in Kan

Congressmen Miller, Campbell, Reed-
er, aiuernead ana oniony, all reg-,
ulars. Speaker Cannon a rf rived here
today. He looked tired but enthu-
siastically took a few shots at the In-
surgents. "I don't want the lnsur- 1
gents shot," said Cannon. "This is a '
campaign of iace. In war the In
surgents would be shot for they are ;
Guerillas who fight on boUi sides.
They aided the democrats, yet cveij.
manly democrat hates them. They
should be condemned and despised by

I believe In two parties," he con-
tlnued. "Hell, we can't all think
alike. Ideas and principles are dif-
ferent and this new party for demo- ,
crats and republicans you hear makes
mo tired. The insurgents voting
against the Payne tariff bill all voted
in favor of a high tariff."
Speaker Cannon's speech last night
differed little in substance from his
other Kansas speeches. He referred
to the fight on him as the "czar of
the house."
"The speaker has power." he said,
"only as he is backed by a majority
of the house. Without a majority
back of him, the speaker would be as
powerless as a cat without claws." I
Speaker Cannon praised all of the
Kansas congressmen except Murdock
and Madison.

pay the money anticipated from the su
