WASHINGTON, March 10.
Joseph 0. Cannon, who for
tho past Hovcn years has
boon as powerful a figuro in tho
American commonwealth as tho
president himself, 'today say his
power broken (' effectively as f bo
had boon deprived of tho chair in
tho houso of representatives, when
tho Norris resolution wns adopted
taking tho rules eommitteo from his
control. Hereafter Speaker Cannon
will hnvo little, if anything, to say
regarding Iiouho rulos, nnd his powor
1h shattered.
Tho final parliamentary vote
clinching tho adoption of tho Norris
icholiition was:
Ayes, 101.
Noos 155,
Tho resolution provides for the
reappointment of nn onlnrgcd rules
committee, of which tho spenker
shall not bo a member.!
The reign of Cnnnonism is over.
Tho iron-clad rtilo of the house czar,
which hugnn hovoii years ago, has
been broken.
Three preliminary, successive
roll calls showed increasing strength
fur the tnsiirguiitB nnd woaknoss in
tho ranks of tho organization forces.
Tho final critical vote was in the
nature of n landslide for Cannon's
opponent.
Muny near-insurgents who had
heretofore succeeded in dodging the
isMio woro compelled to tako a mim
tic stand today.
Tho pnssago of tho Norris resolu
tion also foreshadows radical
changes in the nils of the hoimc.
This was indicated by E. A. Hayes
of California, ono of tho leading in
surgents. Hayes uid:
"Tho epenker wo have now is not
tho product of tho constitution, but
of evolution in lawmaking. We
lodge too much in the speaker. I
believe that nil ltepublicaus should
have equal powor in tho houso of
representatives."
Hayes explained his vote for the
insurgents by saying that he was
guided by tho principles at issue and
not by personal consideration. '
Following tho vote, Cannon said
that ho majority should rule and
that at any time ho would entertain
a motion for tho election of n new
spenkor.
Tho announcement 0f Cannon thnt
ho was rendv to vacate tho chair
created the greatest excitement. Tho
opponents of tho "fnllon cznr" set
up n grcnt cheor, in which tho unl
lorios joined. Supporters of Cnnnon
hiBHod the outburst of their triumph
tint opponents. .
For several minutes pnrrdomonium
r,oignnod nnd it np)oared ns though
tho session would hnvo o ho nd-
.lourncd.
This upronv was heightened when
Hurlosnu of TexnH sprung to his
feet and presented n resolution to
declare tho ppenkors office vacant
nnd to nominate Chump Clark, tho
Dcinoeratie minonty leader, to the
speakership.
Tho Democrats greotod the reso
lution with exultant yells. Tho Re
publicans woro thrown into confus
ion by tho move. Ilowovor, hie mo
tion wns dofontod by n vote of 155
ayos to 181 noes.
