CANNON DEFIES INSURGENTS. After Defeat of Automobile Provis ion Aged Speaker Takes Floor in Defense of Himself. Washington, April 1.-Almost the enfire "insurgent" strength of the hou:s4 was joined with th-e Demo erats today. in what was acknowl edged to be an additional rebuke to Senator Cannon. A -con.ference report on the l-gisla tive, executive and judicial appro prian bill oontained an agreement to appropriate for the expense of auto mobiles previously provided for Speaker Cannon and Vice-President Sherman. The house r4iterated its disapproval of these expenditures and by a vote -of 111 to 132 refused to agree to the reports, sending it back to the conference for further consid eration. After this action had been taken Mr. Cannon, leaving the chair, went to the Republican side uf the house and there delivered a speeth that contained much sareasm and invec tive. He again defed the "insur gents'' and intimated that they lack ed courage to join with the solid minority in deposing him. Encourag ing his Repn blican colleagues and ad monishing the Democrats, he declar ed he believed a Republican major ity would be returned in the com ing eleetions. Want the Opportunity. Minority Leader Clark made a speech in w.hich he insisted that if given an opportunity the Democrats would endeavor to realize the sug gestion of Senator Aldrich that the expense of the government might be curtailed to the 'extent of $300,000, 000 annually. Mr. -Sims of Tennessee was among the leaders in opposing the appro priatiors for automobiles for the speaker and the vice president, de elaring it cost $20 daily to bring the speaker or the vice president to the capitol. With intense interest the roll call was listened to in order to determine how the insurgents were voting, as it was realized their attitude would settle the outcome. The result was soon foreseen and the announcement provoked applause on the Democratic side. Mr. Mann Irat. Then. Mr. Mann (Dll.), arose and said in sarcastic tones, "this is mere ehild's play.'' "If this is Democratic leader ship,'' added Mr. Mann, "I hope to ibe delivered from it in the future.'' "You will,'' -eame from a score of Daemocratic members. 3iinority Leader Ohamp Clark gave the house a statement of his purpose ~to work for economy, whether that -wa denomiated "child 's play or a.nytning else.'' Mr. Giark sa.id he would come to eongress if there were no salary at tached to the office. "If we ever get possessiou' of the governmen't,'' he said, addressing his Democratic colleagues, "I propose to make good Senator Aldrich's declara 4 ~tion that this govenment 'can be run for $300,000,000 1ess per year than it now css Cannon Speaxs. Speaker Cannon then requested Mr. * Mann, of Illinois, to take the chair, efter which he addressed the house. Mr.- Speaker,'' he began, "this -dhole controversy, touching the au .tomobile in connection with the offices -of the speaker of the house and vice president of the' United States, has not been, inspired from beginning to end or encouraged or approved of by the present oc'cupa'nt of the speak ~er 's cihar.'' 'In a lory'tone he recalled to the at -tention of members the difference -that has a}ways existed in the salary of the speaker and other members. "'It is true,'' he added, looking ~traight into the eyes of Champ Clark, who occupied a s-eat just across the aisle, " tha)t a desire to preside over .this 'house when a different par ty may be In the majority-(hand elapping and D)emocratic shouts in terrupted) "Looking in to the eyes of the gentleman from Missouri,'' said Un cle Joe, when he was allowed to con -tinue, "I know that if he becomes - speaker, he will be the same Champ Clark t'hat 'he is saOw.'' Mt. Cannon added: "I believe the speakership should be aeeorded the same dignity as the *office of vice-president.'' "I am quite content, but I want to notify you that unless the Re pu!blicans on this side, who do not approve of the ,personai.ity of their spea;ker, 'have the courage to join a solid majority in) deposing him, I am speaker unil March 4.' For the first time smiling upon ~his colleagues, Mr. Cannon. continued to say that while he had not asked for the automobile he would use thE appropriation for its maintenance i voted to him. Defends Tariff Law. He then entered into a defense of the new tariff law, declaring, to the appa.rent -delight of the Republicans, that the government had enjoyed greatly increased revenues since the passage of the Payne-Aldrich law. Referring sarcastically to "headlines of newpapers," that "rarely tell the truth and frequently give the lie to the dispatches under them,'" Mr. Cannon assured his colleagues that the facts would be known.. There was more than even chance, he said, that the facts would be so well known by next November that Repuiblicans would be returned in full controll of the government. ")nd agaiin," he said, nodding and smiling upon the Democrats, "vou will be shown to be false pro phets as you have been during the last decade." Amid applause Mr. Cannon took his seat.
