Chicago, Oct. 28.—A special com
munlcatlo.n received here from a Con
gressiuan aboard tlie Taft river fleet
says they have had a talk with
Speaker Cannon and told him the Ra
publican party was In danger unless'
he stepped down and out and sail
if he does not resign the Republican
party will have no chance at the next
election. Cannon refused to do It.
A Congressman then asked Presl
dent Taft to praise Cannon ~ in his
h|leeches because the party will go
Io pieces unless he is either driven
out or the popular opinion of him Is
altered.
President Taft Is In a quandary.
He says Cannon is all right, but does
not want to strike a discordant note
in any speech on his tour, which will
become prominent and asks for h!
friends' help.
Many plans have been suggested
for settling the speakership problem,
but none seems effective according to
the message.
