AN INTERESTING MEETING.
TIm School Officers of the County of
Emmons Meet ia lJoton and Hold
An Instructive Session.
Last Friday there wa.? held in this
place the annua! meeting of the
school officers of Emmons county.
That the value of these meeting?
is becoming more and more appre
ciated by the men who hav- charge
of the school-district business of the
county is shown by the increased at
tendance this year and the genera!
interest manifested by those who
were present. There are few prob
lems that cannot better be solved
through the wisdom of "a multitude
of counselors" than by the scatter
ing shots of individual and unorgan
ized effort and there is no doubt
that these annual meetings, enabling
as they do the county's school
officers to meet and exchange ex
periences, are a move in the right
direction.
The meeting was called to order
by County Supt. Hanson, and A. L.
Geil of Hazelton was elected pres
ident and J. R. Haney of Hartford
secretary.
The program of proceedings be
fore the meeting was as follows

A HOT TIME IN WASHINGTON
The Insurgents in the House of Representatives
Unite With the Demoerats and Overthrow
Conditions Which Have Existed Since
the Days off Speaker Reed.
Appointment off Rules Committee Taken ffrom
Cannon, but the Democratic Motion to Fire
Uncle Joe Is Defeated, Only Nine off the
Thirty-Five Insurgents Voting for It.
Among Those Who Favored His Removal Was
Mr. Gronna, Who Not Long Ago Was Hand
in Hand With the Speaker in Support
off the Latter's Policies.
What are said by the dispatches
to have been the most stirring scenes
in the national bouse of represent
atives since civil-war times occurred
in Washington this week.
From the founding of the govern
ment to the time of Speaker Reed,
manv years ago, there was not a
cloture-—or "previous question''-—
ruie of the house by which debate
could be ended and a question
brought to a vote. A small minori
ty could talk a proposition to death,
and, if of sufficient strength numer
ically, could break a quorum, by
reason of the fact that the entire
membership of the majority party
was seldom if ever present at one
time. Then, too, the minority could
demand the yeas and nays—roli-cal!
-on even the most insignificant sub
sidiary motion.
The inability of the majority to
do business in the face of an oppo
sition from a strong minority had
become an unmitigated nuisance.
One day Speaker Reed startled the
country bymakingaquorumthrough
counting as present those who were
really present when a vote was
taken, but who had not answered to
their names at roll-call. He also
caused thesergeant-at-arms to bring
into the house such absentees as were
absent without leave and could be
found. His action provoked intense
bitterness, and he was denounced by
the democrats as a "czar," "tyrant,"
"despot," etc. But it soon became
apparent that the house was "doing
business" under the new ruling. A
few years later the democrats
obtained a majority in the house but
under their speaker, Mr. Crisp,
there was no attempt to change the
rules, and they had prevailed to the
day of the recent contest. It cannot
be denied that under the present
speaker the rules have become un
popular. Mr. Cannon is of a bellig
erent disposition, and opposition
has served only to make him more
autocratic and aggressive.
The chief complaint as to the order
of parliamentary procedure that has
been in vogue since Tom Reed's day
was that the speaker, having the ap
pointment of the committee on
rules, wielded an influence that
should not be tolerated in a repub
lican legislative body,and it was the
object of the combination to take
this power from him and give it to
a committee of the house, of which
the speaker should not be a member.
Thi3 effort, as will be seen by the
report given below, was successful.
Although Speaker Cannon has many
bitter political opponents in the
house, he is personally popular with
the membership. And so it hap
pened that, when the democrats at
tempted to take advantage of the re
publican family ruction, twenty-six
of the thirty-five insurgent republi
cans quickly turned to the support
of Mr. Cannon, and "Uncle Joe"
still wields the gavel. Mr. Gronna,
the political lightning-change artist
from this state, at first voted against
unseating Cannon, and tfcen in the
confusion slipped to the clerk's desk
and had his vote changed before
the resti
11 was anounced.
Below is the Associated Press re
port of the recent stirring times in
Washington:
Scencs of Wild Disorder.
Amid scenes of the wildest dis
order, for the like of which one
must go back to the exciting days
just prior to the civil war -perhaps
even those times might not dupli
cate it the veteran speaker, almost
seventy-four years old, stood erect
and defiant at the end. When a big
lexas democrat accepted the speak
er's daring challenge and introduced
a resoluton to fling him out of the
speakership, the republicans—reg
ulars and insurgents—with few ex­

ceptions. raiiied with almost un
broken party front and gave him a
vote which almost offset the "Re
pudiation of Cannonism."
Mow It Wu Done.
By a vote of i&i to ioo the4##
pubiican insurgents voting solidly
with the democrats—the house
adopted the resolution of Represent
ative Norris of Nebraska,insurgent,
requiring a reorganization of the
committee on rules, increasing its
membership from five to ten,and de
claring the speaker ineligible to
membership thereon.
By the curiously identical vote of
191 to 155 but with a decidedly
different personnel of alignment
the house defeated a resolution of
Representative Burleson of Texas
declaring the speakership vacant
and ordering the immediate election
of a successor to Mr. Cannon.
Tbe Fateful Resolution.
This is the resolution which was
defeated:
"Resolved,That the office of speak
er of the house of representatives is
hereby declared to be vacant, and
the house of representatives shall at
once proceed to the election of a
speaker."
Situation Without Recent Parallel.
The oldest man in congress makes
no pretense of remembering any
parallels for the sensational scenes
which have characterized the last
few day.-: in the house. When this
day's developments reached a crisis,
about five o'clock this (Saturday)
afternoon, he would have been a
rash prophet who would have at
tempted to forecast the outcome.
There were moments when it
looked as though the preponderant
ly republican house might even cap
the climax by electing Champ Clark,
the democratic house leader, speak
er. In fact, not only was this pro
posed in a motion by Mr. Clark of
Florida, but Speaker Cannon him
self, in his defi to the insurgents,
declared that his political enemies
should be consistent and proceed to
the election of a democratic speaker.
Indeed, it was this challenge, daring
as it was, which, instantly provok
ing the I'urle.-:on resolution for his
ousting, turned the tide in his
favor and rallied the republicans-
regulars and insurgents -with few
exceptions, to the point of what may
well be termed a vote of confidence.
Cannon Cool and Calm.
Through it all the aged speaker,
invariably calm, stoical and consist
ent to the end, stood in hi3 place
with gavel in hand, and with steady
raps upon his desk attempted to
quell the riotous confusion. Upon
the conclusion of the vote which cast
him out of his place at the head of
the rules committee, he asked "the
indulgence of the house for three
minutes," and during this period he
challenged the membership to elect
a democratic speaker. Many repub
licans recalled the speaker's retort
after the proposal to nominate him
on the Roosevelt ticket for the vice
presidency: "They can't make a po
litical eunuch out of rne."
Tumult and Disorder Rage.
(ireat tumult and disorder raged
around Mr. Burleson, as he stood
beside his desk near the center of
the house, after sending his resolu
tion to the desk, and, as its purport
became known, his democratic col
leagues surrounded him, some urg
ing him to force his resolution to a
vote, and others declaring that he
had precipitated the matter too
hastily.
Kitchin of North Carolina, Hard
wick of Georgia, Garner of Texas
and Shackelford of Missouri, who
had assisted him in drafting the res
olution, all shouted amid the tur
moil for him to pay no attention to
the panicky requests for the with-

they cried, through ".he din. "Don't

shaw of Nebraska, clinging to Ilur
ieson's arm and shouting in his ear.

Speaker Tries to Preserve Order.
The speaker was steadily hammer
ing his desk with the gavei, but the
blows, thojgh vigorous, v.ere hardiv
audible ir, the confusion. From a
over their side of the house the reg
ular republicans were shouting to
the clerk:
"Read! Read!''
They referred to the resolution
which Burleson had sent to the desK.
the contents of which they did
know, though everyody suspected
what they were. Half a hundred
had left their seats and were shout
ing in the aisles when Burleson a
few minutes later pressed for the
adoption of his resolution.
Qeneral Confusion in the Mouse.
Rodenburg of Illinois, regular re
publican. elbowed his way from the
rear, yelling at the top of his lungs:
"Vote on it! Show your colors!
What's the matter with you?" He
was jostled about, but kept on untii

where he continued his crie- for a

on his motion to adjourn.
From f-II parts of the democratic
side came cries of "Withdraw t!
Withdraw it!" Just as vehement
were the =houts of other democrats.
"No don"' withdraw it! Stand pat!
Let's put him out now."
There v.ere loud cries from the re
publican side when the democrats

those cries came from the regu
lar republicans, who began to feel
that the insurgents would rejoin
them on the question of retiring
Cannon as speaker.
Democrats Taunt Insurgents.
The democrats cheered the vote
of each insurgent who voted against
Cannon for speaker, but there were
few of them. They heard with sur
prise the vote of Norris, the insur
gent leader who had introduced the
resolution taking the appointment
of the rules committee from the
speaker but now he voted with the
regulars. A murmur of comment
passed over the democratic side of
the chamber. They taunted the in
surgents who fioccked over to the
Cannon support. Kitchin of North
Carolina cried out:
"1 never saw you fellows over
there back down like that before.
The speaker biuffed you. But he
cou'.d not run any bluff on this side
of the house. We called you."
Vou re not going to elect a
speaker here to-day, though," was
the answering shout from the re
publican side. After the vote the
republican regulars showered felici
tations upon the speaker. The only
republicans who voted with the
democrats in favor of putting out
the republican speaker were Carey,
Cooper, Lenroot and Nelson, of Wis
consin Davis and Lindbergh, of
Minnesota Murdock, of Kansas
GRONNA, of North Dakota, and
Poindexter, of Washington-nine in
ai! of the thirty-five insurgents.
