Washington, Dec, Speaker Joe Can-
non today expressed ihJs sentiments
toward orfrt'.nlped labor and its lead-
er, B&muel Gompers, with respect to
the latter's campaign for his defeat,
the occasion being a call on him by
committee from the locai union of
Plate Kjjgra?ers. A set of resolutions
commending the speaker for his leg-
islative work in behalf of the plate-
workers was presented by the chair-
man of the delegation, Charles T
flmith. In reply, Bpoager Cannon, af
ter expressing his gratification at the
confidence conveyed, entered into an
Informal discussion of "one man pol-
itical leaders*iip" of organised labor.
He said that while he bore no enmity
to the president of the American Fed
•ration of I^abor, he did not believe
that union men as American citizen**
would ever acept a dictatorship over
their votes. That If he wore a craft
worker he -would ally himself with a
trade union, because unionism has been
the vehicle of all progress toward bet-
ter conditions for tho wage earners;
and while his fealty toward organ-
ized labor would not waver if he was
affiliated with a union he, as an Ameri-
can cltiaen, would hold his franchise
above the right of any leader to di-
rect.
GOMPERS AN ORGANIZER
He paid a high compliment Xo the
ability of Mr. Oonnrers as an organiz-
er and expressed hJinself as highly
sensible to the work done by him
within the functions alloted to him
as a labor leader and as the president
of the American Federation In behalf of
the working man and the country. Co-
lncidently he made it plainly known
that he for his part, would pursue his
own ideas in legislative matters, irres-
pective to Mr. Gonvper's opposition to
some of them.
He said he knew that in some things
Mr. Goirtpers misrepresented the two
xnltllon men composing the organisa-
tion which he leads, and that he"'(the
speaker) had proved by appealing to
the peoplo from Gompers arraignment
of him. He said that In his latest re-
election there vnat cast for him a larg-
er union labor vote than ever before
lr his political career, and that he took
this as a decisive verdict.
The chairman of the delegation re-
marked that nothing in the resolutions
or the visit should be construed as an
art of disloyalty to the American Fed-
eration. Replying. Speaker Cannon
said there could be no such misrepre.
mentation of the motives; he had no
thought of attacking the federation
president, but he felt the one for mak-
ing his personal attitude clear.

FAMOUS OLD PALACE
NO LONGER STAND8
Paris, Dec. 9—The last vestige of
of the famous old palace of St. Cloud
has been removed by the pulling down
of the old Railway station reserved
for distinguished and royal visitors to
ghe Emperor Napoleon III and the Em-
press Eugenie when in residence at
6t. Ckrod.
The little station was thickly over-
grown with grass and weeds. Birds
fcad built their nests in the Imperial
waiting rooms, and lusty young trees
had grown up In the reserved space
around the station No train had
stopped at it for thirty-seven years
The last occasion on Which the station
was used was on the morrow of the
French declaration of war on Germany,
■when officers of the Imperial Guard
w ere conveyed by special train to lunch
■with the emperor.
A few months later the magniflcient
stone palace, which seemed destined to
stand for centuries, had been reduced
to a n.ass of smoking ruins by the
bombardment from the surrounding
hills.

MR- T. L 8ILINO AND FAJflLT.
Speaker Murray had a taste of well ma
tured and warmly presented opposition to
a favorite theory during the session of
the lower house yesterday afternoon. He
carried his point finally but at the cost
of Virtual acknowledgment that the
"antis" are to have an inning and that
before the present assembly Is dissolved.
The light on the presiding officer .began
when his bill providing for a state prlnt-
ery was placed on its second reading. Mur
ray was anxious to have the measure
reported for passage by the committee of
the whole without amendment in view of
the emergency of its nature.
In supporting his claims on the floor
he betrayed the existence of an attack
made on him by the Oklahoma Typo
graphical union for his alleged declara-
tion against endorsing a practical printer
for the office provided In his measure.
Incidentally the speaker went on record
as to his attitude in the Btruggle for
recommendation when he hostly shouted,
"Before God and man, I don't know who
111 be appointed state printer."
"I never made any demands on tha
governor and he never said anything to
me about it.
"I have made no pledges.
"I don't care who gets It."
In view of the repeatedly published
statement that the house speaker Is be-
hind the candidacy of a prominent pub-
lisher of the state for the position of
state printer his frank avowal was re
ceived with surprise.
THE UNION'S CHARGB8.
The Typographical union's charges are
contained In the following circular letter,
which every member had on his desk
during Murray's refutation:
"Oklahoma City, Okla., Dec. 7, 1907.
Dear Sir:
"Speaker Murray, replying to a circular
sent out by this union, says:
It would be against good public policy
to appoint a practical printer to the posi-
tion of state printer.' "
What do you think of Mr. Murray's
logic?
"If you would conserve the best in-
terests of the public, would you—
Elect a 'hodcarrier* to the office of
attorney-general?
Elect a 'jeweler* for chief mine In-
spector?
'E'.-ct a 'printer* chairman of the agri-
cultural commission?
"Elect a 'peanut vender' to the position
of insurance commissioner?
Elect a 'burglar* to the position of
commissioner of charities and corrections?
Elect a preacher' as cemmissioner of
labor?
The above comparisons carry out Mi.
Murray's entire line of argument(?).
"Do you not believe that the Interests
of the state would be better looked after
with a practical printer In that position?
"The reason we ask for eight years'
qualification is that it takes at least that
many years for any man to thoroug. .y
understand the business— the cost of
composition, paper, ink, binding, press-
work and the many other technical points,
which experience alone will teach.
"Why would not a printer make a
good manager? Why would not a man
who has superintended some of the larger
printing establishments be better quali-
fied for the office of state printer than
a man who knows nothing about the bus-
iness?
"Think this matter ove- and we be-
lieve that you will come to the conclu-
sion that the state printer should be a
practical Journeyman printer of not less
than eight years' experience.
"Believing that you will act for the
best Interests of the entire people, we
beg to remain,
"Your truly,
"Legislative Committee Typographical
T'nion No. 283."
Murray declared that he was opposed
to requiring an eight years' qualification
In the state printer. He vouchsafed the
admission that the Typographical union
is tho greatest on earth. He said he was
not opposed to a practical printer in th*
r a 6 TO MAKE IT ELECTIVE.
The other phase of the. anti-Murray
crusade was in the amendments offered
by Holland and Cope, providing that, af-
ter the expiration of the term of the first
state printer, to be appointed by tho gov-
ernor. the office should be made elec
llVThe Cope amendment took precedence
over that of Holland, by the latter's con-
sent. It was to the effect that the nrst
appointee should hold office until January,
1911 but at the election preceding that
date the official should be chosen for a
term of four years and at all subsequent
general elections.
MURRAY COULDN'T BEAT IT.
The Murray following rallied under the
attack and. lead by a no lesser person
than the speaker himself, pleaded for the
defeat of the amendment and the im-
mediate disposition of the bill. ^ anda-
venter. the speaker's own aide, came to
the support of a column that shook un-
der the assaults of such staunch flying
wedges as Ashby and Ellis and urged
that If the office were to he made elec-
tive the salary of the Incumbent be in-
creased.
PLENTY OF SHELLS.
The beselgers had ammunition In re-
serve and the venerable Stump" Ashby
sent his huge voice hurtling Into the cleft
with the warning that "a Democratic
governor might not always occupy the
executive's chair and that he opposed
any Increase in the appointive power of
the governor." He u-ged that the state
nrlnter be a mnn of practical experience,
"from devil up" and not a mere figure-
head who would have to ask his assist-
ant to do the work.

GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE ON THE MILITIA
The second special message of Governor
Haskell was submitted to the lower house
legislature yesterday afternoon. It
embodies the report of Adjutant Genera!
1-Yank Canton and recommendations of
the supreme court.
The governor urged the legislature to
take Immediate action in making appro-
priations. He explains that in his mes-
sage to the assembly he did not possess
enough data on which to base recommen-
dations but the adjutant general's report
According to General Canton the Okla-
homa National Guard consists of one
regiment of twelve companies, am engi-
neer and signal corps, hospital detachment
and band. There are fifty-four officers.
The troops are in fair condition and ready
to take the field at short jiotlce. their
equipment being complete with t*he ex-
ception of overcoats and dress suits.
There are 70) enlisted m©n In three batta-
lions of four companies each. There Is a
sufficient supply of clothing on hand t#

g their state printer as they are
electing their United States senators?"
he thundered. And the antl's wept on
his shoulder—almost.
At this exciting juncture some member
moved to table the Cope amendment.
Contrary to the anticipation of the regu-
lars the recalcitrants whetted their teeth
at the prospect. The roll call showed the
motion defeated by the vote of 44 to 49.
THE FLAG OF TRUCE.
It was then the dove got In Its work.
In spite of mischievous "shoos" from
the minority side the messenger of peace
picked out Milton Bryan's shoulder for
a roost and "the gentleman from Pot-
tawattomie" explained on the quiet that
he had seen another bill covering the
same ground as Murray's. Following his
gentle suggestion the pugnacious Cope
in a polite little speech withdrew hh
amendment. These were his portentou
closing words: "But I'll stay here till I
am taken out through a keyhole unless
this bill Is amended." And they che<
The bill was reported without amendment
and made a special order for today.
VANDAVENTER BILL WINS.
The Vandaventer bill regulating the
management of the school money more
specifically the depositing of the money
that will be received by the state from
the five-million-dollar fund, given Okla-
homa In lieu of public lands in the In-
dian Territory section, was called back
from Its second reading to the commit-
tee of the whole, where it was thor-
oughly dissected.
The story of how it was analyzed, buf-
feted and criticised is a long one. Fin-
ally the committee reported the measure
for passage and although there was a
lusty "no" the speaker declared the re-
port adoptod. The vote on roll call was
78 to 22.
WANT STATE BENEFITED.
The nature of the fight on the bill can
be summed up In an overweening desire
on the part of its critics to have in-
serted a provision that the school land
commissioners should require banks re-
ceiving the fund to pay a rate of Interest
not to exceed 3 or 4 per cent on the aver-
age daily deposits. Branson of Musko-
gee started the fight. Into which the
speaker ir..mediately "butted." explain-
ing that to insert the desired amendment
would be "clearly unconstitutional."
His dread that the basic law of Okla-
homa would be violated led the house
to table the eloquent Branson's amend-
ment. No sooner was the man from the
east side disposed of. however, than Fut-
nam of Oklahoma offered another amend-
ment, virtually a substitute for that of
Branson.
VANDAVENTER HUT J? Y.
Dwring his talk supporting his clause,
Putnam spoke of "rallro^'ng." Tho ph.
point pricked Vandaventer and the V a h-
Ington county representative gained the
floor to tell how his feelings were hurt.
Thfn Putnam apologized.
Chappel). the "grand Jury foreman
grasped the banner from the hands of
the "regular" Oemocratlc standard hear-
er and widened the breach by urging the
adoption of the Vandaventer measure
'""Kind out what this school land boaru
ran do before the fifty millions of Okla-
homa public land falls into Its hands,
Iil BaidAglIBY aG.\IN IT, TOO.
Ashby advised the state to pet what-
ever per cent tt could and Incidentally
urged the skidding majority id Ret to-
nether. "Don't Impugn each others mo-
tives." he counseled. "Discuss these
things In a spirit of love."
Sands of the Republicans supported the
insertion of the rate requirement amend-
ment He declared that any bank would
be wi'.llng to pay the nominal amount to
get hold of the state's money
Tlllotson threw things Into a more be-
fuddled condition by offering a substitute
for all amendments then pending, strlk-
Irg out the roforence to county bonds.
The sturdy Vandaventer brought order
out of tho chaos by moving to take the
bill out of the committee with a favor-
able report. He won by a majority of
three votes.
House Bill No. 10, appropriating $100,- I
000 for the expenses of the legislature
and House Bill No. 11. the banking meas-
ure, were made special orders for today.
BILLS INTRODUCED.
Bills from 54 to 76, inclusive, were In-
troduced. A motion by Vandaventer that
only bills that have been recommended
for passage by committees be printed
was carried -without opposition. Emer-
gency bills are exempted from this pro-
vision.
The speaker appointed Charles Kellar
of Pottawatomie county propercy clerk,
and Miss Josephine Scott and Miss Tay-
lor stenographers for the majority and
minority members.
A motion was carried limiting the
printing of bills from two to four hun-
dred copies.
Sands' motion that the house hold con-
tinuous session not to exceed four hours
was referred to the committee on rues.
The speaker announced as a commit-
tee to confer on a design for letterheads,
Vandaventer, Crouch and Roy Williams.
Adjournment was then taken until 1
o'clock this afternoon.
