(Special Correspondent of The Citizen)
WASHJWVTGN, Feb. 10. ''Uncle
Joe" must stay. The republican party
couldn't really ret along wtinout mm.
He knows how to organize commit
tee and manipulate the rule In a
way that Is satisfactory to the rail
roads,' the anti-saloon Interests and
othCf friends of the G. O. P. There
fore H has l?een practically decided
that when President Roosevelt steps
down and out March 4, and a number
of prominent members of congress
likewise bid adieu to Washington life,
good old "Uncle Joe" will remain be
hind to "run things."
Fate lenient.
Fate haa been lenient with "Uncle
Joe." Just previous to the last na
tional election he was being attacked
from one end of the country to the
other. Away out on the Pacific coast
Everls A. Hayes was re-elected to con
gress by making antl-Cannonisn his
platform. Who would .have guessed
then, when a hundred newspapers and
magazines were exposing one trick af
ter another that "Uncle Joe" had
perpetrated on the people, that he
would out-Survive Roosevelt and his
old rival. Colonel Hopburn of Iowa?
Hut bqth those gentlemen are on their
way and "Uncle Joe" Is still doing
business at the same old stand.
It must be saM Speaker Cannon
stands better with congress today
than he dW a year ago. He Is perhaps
a little more lenient toward members
not in his clique than he ever was
before, particularly in trivial matters.
"I'mie Joe" is a politician. 'He has
been holding his ear close to the
RTotma:" am ntmonrto
ominous rumblings he heard just be
fore -the election.
There is no Indication, however,
that th speaks Intends to transfer
Ms affections from the special Inter
ests to the general public. There is
no reason for believing he will not
continue to appoint congressmen rep
resenting the railroad companies on
the committee on Interestate and for
eign commerce, or representatives of
"wet" districts on committees that
will hav before them legislation per
taining to prohibition: nor .that he will
.,k.MU arte monitor that will not kill
a bill that he does not like to be'
cbalrmnn, of a committee.
In the years he has held the speak-1
,rh?i "trncle Joe" has served the :
Interests faithfully and well, and so
far no republican has dared ask for
proof of this fact. "Uncle Joe" has
steadfastly smothered bills unsatisfac
tory to various, corporations, ana ts
now preventUig the postal bank bill j
from getting before the house! for a ,
vote. Because of making a reputation i
that Is satisfactory to those big but j
unseen influences that wields such a
power In the republican ranks, "Uncle j
Joe" Is to stay. He is to get his re
ward. !
The rules that make it possible fori
the speaker to block any legislation he
may desire, iw matter how popular it :
may be w ith the people are alleged j
to be In.great peril. As a balm fori
the followers of those members who;
were elected on anti-Cannon plat
forms, an "assault" Is made about:
once a month. "Back home" the Im-;
presslon Is expected to be that these
"assaults are terrible affairs, but they ;
are really goTid nntured and blood-:
tens. Some time within the next two;
or three weeks the "insurgents" of ,
the house expect to pull off what they
tertet a "concerted" attack on the i
rules. The movement contemplates a
sweeping change In the rub's. -The
central Idea Is the appointment of the
rules committee by vote of the house ,
Instead of " selection by the speaker
as at present. The speaker himself!
is now chairman of the committee nn ,
rules. ;
