Speaker Cannon Is showing some signs of unbending toward the Insurgents. For years ho has not spoken to Victor ihir-dock. ihir-dock. To. others he has not spoken for many months. But recently the speaker has been in a more forgiving mood. The other day ho got down out of the chair and went over to the vicinage of Herbert Her-bert Parsons of New York, sat down and talked in the most ngreeaole fashion. Parsons Par-sons looked haughty, but "Uncle Joe" spoke In kindly, fatherly tones, and it seemed to have something of a soothing effect on tho Xew Yorker. It amazed the Insurgents.

Aftor an Insurgent. Speaking of Insurgents. Representative Hayes of California Is the first of the group who has been put on notice that he will have lo fight for his political life, though they all understand the situation pretty fully. It Is learned here ihut the faction in the Republican parly In California, Cali-fornia, which Is dominated by the Southern South-ern Pacific railroad, has decreed that Hayes must cease being an Insurgent on penalty of being' deprived of the organization organiza-tion vote. 3lr. Hayes declines to quit the fight against Speaker Cannon -and th house rules. He will have lo depend, therefore, on the Lincoln-Roosevelt faction fac-tion for support. Jnasmuch as the two factions are about equal In strength, Mr. Hayes, according to members of the California Cali-fornia delegation, either will be supplanted supplant-ed by a Democrat or will have to face strenuous opposition for the nomination at the direct primaries, with tho Southern South-ern Pacific Interests doing Its utmost to defeat him. Mr. Hayes Is the largest prune grower In the world and 13 reputed to be a millionaire. Will Fight Hcney. Sincere regret Is felt over the announcement an-nouncement of Senator Flint of California Califor-nia and Senator Piles of Washington that thev can no longer afford to remain In the senate. Both men have been valuable senators and have ninde many friends. Information has reached the California members of congress that Francis J Hcnev, who was one of President Roosevelt's" Roose-velt's" favorite Investigators and special prosecutors, will be a formidable candidate candi-date for the T'nited Slates senate to succeed suc-ceed Senator Flint. Governor Gllletl also Is prominently mentioned for the sena- torship. The prediction Is made bv the Callfornlans that Hcney cannot be "elected. "elect-ed. They point out that "Bos.-," McCarthy Mc-Carthy Is against him. and that without h s support and that or the Southern Pacific Pa-cific ho cannot be elected. Thus far no member of the house from California has expressed a desire to flirt with the senu-torshlp. senu-torshlp. Most of them agree with Senator Sena-tor Flint that running for the senate Involves In-volves too great an expense. Teller in Washington. A. familiar figure Is seen these days on the tloor of the senate. Moving about from seut to scat, shaking bonds with the old and the young alike, and occasionally stopping to listen lo "the boys" In do-bate. do-bate. Is the venerable form of former Senator Sen-ator Henry M. Teller of Colorado. He ha been hero for several days, and as often as ho goes away. Just as often does he return. For twenty-five years Senator Sena-tor Teller had a seat in the chamber. The life of the senato became a part of his life, and now he haunts the scene of his former activities. J lo Is a member of the monetary commission, and this Is his reason for lingering in Washington. Official Of-ficial life of Washington has grown to know the little gray haired man from the west. Ho was not only in ihe senate for five or six terms, but ho once retired from tho body long enough to enter tho cabinet cabi-net of President Arthur. |
