Mndlson, WIb Oct. 5. A deter
mined effort to defent Congressman
Cannon for ro-oloctlon as Bpcnkor of
tho noxt honiso la undoubtedly tak
ing shnpo ns a result of tho roco'nt
primaries, In which John J. .Tonkins,
of this stnto, J. Adam Iledo, of Minn
esota, nnd ovornl othor of "Undo
Joo's" lloutcnnnts woro defentod for
ronomlnatlon by moro "progrcBBlvo
candldnto". Irvlno L. Lonroot, for
mer speaker of tho lowor bouso of
tho Wi'conBln loglslnturo, anl Re
publican candidate for congress, tins
pledged hlnmolf to vote against Can
non. Lenroot. odrv, flr"d Mio opnn
lug gun In the rnmalgn, which prom
Ircr to bo a hot one. In a Btntomont
In wt!ch bo attacks Mr. Cnnnon for
his aMrged autocratic methods nnd
ncoro him particularly for his op
position to tho Jtoo'ovolt policies,
looking to tbo preservation of tho
nntlonal rofourcea of tho country.
Mr. Lonroot attributes largely to this
icaiiHo his defeat of Congressman
Jenkins, Who wni oi'o of Cannon's
right hnnd'mon nnd chairman of tho
committee thnt wns Instrumontnl In
blocking tbo Ap'mlnchlau bill. Mr.
Lonroot dliclosod Bomi) tit tho Inside
history of this bill, which bo do
clarcd to bo constitutional.
"I mndo my campulgn for nomina
tion to congro'B against my .oppo
nent, Mr. .Tonkins, on tho broad field
of bis nnpoRltlon to tho Important
Roosovnlt pollelns nnd his unnunll
flod Biipport of tho reactionary moth
ods of Sponsor Cnnnon," sn'd Mr.
Lonroot. "Tbo 'net 1 that Speaker
Cannon Is opposed to all real prog
resB. Ills method of rofniilng to al
low any bill which dlsnlensed him to
bo reportod from committees to tlio
bouso was ontlrelv unjustifiable. In
bo dolug, ho mnde himself 'tho wh61o
thing'. A good oxamplo or tlls li

tho effect of tho anti-trust law Tho
Pro-'ibpnt Bont for Mr. Cnnnon nnd
nBked !i!b Biipnort for tbo bill. Mr
Cnnnon said, 'I don't bollovo In your
bill.' 'Woll,' Bnld tho Prosldont,
'won't vou rend It and allow It to bo
roporled out of tho commlttno?'
And Cnnnon nnswercd 'No, novor!'
"This was outrageous. Tho snmo
way with tho Appalachian reserva
tion bill. This bill, which has di
rect Jy to do with tho preservation of
our national roourcos, was consistent
ly opposed by Cannon; and my oppo
nent wub Instrumontnl In tho final
failure of tho bill to be reported.
Tho constitutional rruotlon, whloh
was tho ostensible ground on which
Cnnnon opposed the bill, Is whothor
tho Unitod States has tho right, under
tho clause which allows thorn Juris
diction ovor Uio navigable streams,
to take ovor lands, the reforest ration
of which by tho government will
tond to pro&orvo navigation. It
ceoms to me thnt tbo question Is
clear that tho government has tho
right under that clause of tho con
stitution to do anything which will
directly benefit the navigability of
streams, oven tboueh that act may
Incldontnlly accomplish othor things. 1
"Tho fact 1b that tho uoo'sovoit
policies aro Inextricably Interwoven
with tho movement for tho conserva
tion of our natural resources Tho
adjustment nrd fixing of Tallroad
