•Washington.—Speaker Joseph Can-
of Illinois, has lost his power as
the autocrat of congress. In other
words, his po^er Ims in_ a measure

been taken away from him. He is
still speaker of the house of repre-
sentatiyes, but he lost the ancient jwes-
t
ilge and weapon of that offlce, when
the allied republican insurgents and
democrats took from him not only the
chairmanship of, but even member
ship in, jtheall-pQwerl^l cpmmittee on
rulea^ the chief asset in his st6ck of
power.
Amid scenes of wildest disorder, j
for\the like of which one must go
back to the exciting days just prior
to the civil war-—perhaps even those
times mlgKt not duplicate it-r-th^ vet
eran speaker, almost 74 ye^’S old,
stood erect and defiant, his head
“bloodied but unbowed.”
Final Vote Comfort to Cannon.
And at the end, when a big Texan
democrat accepted' the speaker’s dar
ing challenge and introduced a* reso
lution to fling him ;out of the speaker
ship, the republicans, regulars and in
surgents, with few exceptions, rallied
with almost unbroken party front and
gave him a vote which almost offset
the “repudiation, of Cannonism.”
This is what hppened.
By a vote erf 191 to 155, the repub
lican insurgents voting solidly with
the democrats, the house adopted the
resolution of Representative Norris
(republican, Nebraska), requiring a
reorgaiHzation of the rules .commit
tee, increasing its membership from
five to ten and declaring the speaker
ineligible to membership thereon. -
By the curiously identical vote of
119 to 155—but with a decidedly dif
ferent personnel of alignment—the
house defeated a resolution of Repre
sentative Burlson, of Toxas, declaring
the speakership vacant end orderng
an Immediate electlcu of a successor
to Mr. Cannoii.

“TEDDY” FO« GOVERNOR.

New Yc^rk.—Theodore Roosevelt for
governor.
That Is the state of the New, Tork
Republican machine, according to Wil
liam Barnes, Jr., of this city, who Is
really the “boss” of the state ma
chine.
“I expect to see Theodore Rcfosevelt
nominated for governor,” said Mr.
Barn<»; with every appearance of
sincerity,
“There Is no reason why the Re
publican party should not carry the
state. No man Is more popular than
Roosevelt; no man has proved hhnsea
more capable than he. Although Col
onel Roosevelt might hesitate to ac-
cei^ such a nominatkm,. I believe he
will be unable to withstand the tr^
mendous pressure which will come
from all directions toward him to
make the contest this year.”
MRS. CARSON FREE.
Wbman Pardoned After Serving Fif

In the past 12 months we have helped build and complete one store building and six
dwellings that cost more than $6,500.00, and want to double our helping capacity the
coming year. See Verdery ! Get busy! Help the town grow ! By helping the town
you are helping yourselves. As an investment, if you never become a borrower, you
dre a^ured of 6 per cent interest while your money will be helping the homeless to
build homes and become better citizens. This is true patriotism, and if you love your town
and county the Building ^and Loan Association offers the best opportunity to show it.
