Broken Bow , Nehr , ,
Mydear Mr , Myers : I have just
noted in the issue of your HK
of April 22ml , two
paragraphs relating to my offi
cial action , which a dm- reaped
for the views of my constituent }
and my political self-preserva
tion require that I give notice ,
iud for which I respectfully re
quest space. Anticipating you
will grant my request , I thank
/ou in advance for the courtesy
One paragraph reads : " 1
seems a little hard to tell just
vhere Congressman Kinkaid i *
oing to stand when a qucstioi
mes to a vote in the IIousi
lometiuics he vqtes with the 'in
.urgents' and sometimes he votes
with the 'regulars. ' lie voter )
with the 'insurgents' for a revis
ion of the rules of the House ,
out he doesn't seem to be stay
ing with them all the time , "
Mr , Editor , allow me to say ,
dince we got through with voting
ing upon the speakcrship and
rules questions , it has been true
that I have sometimes voted
with , and sometimes against ,
those who were "insurgents"
and those who were "regulars , "
as to the House organization.
How could it , and why should it ,
have been otherwise ? Then , it
was the House organization af
fecting all states alike. Since ,
it has been tariff revision , affect
ing different states advanta
geously , owing to their respec
tive productions so that it has
not been reasonable that the
same factional alignments that
existed as tQ the House organiza
tion should be preserved and , in
fact , they have been obliterated.
"Insurgent" and "regular" ap
plied to revision , designates , re-
> pcct'ivcly , one who takes issue
vith or supports a certain sched
ule , and any member may find
himself an "insurgent. " and a
'regular" the same day. My
ilifferenccs , therefore , with the
previous or present "insurgent"
or "regular" have arisen out of
my stand made for lumber , coal ,
barbed wire , and products ol
ron and steel , to be placed upon
the free list , or for revision
downward ; likewise , as to leather
and its products , if hides arc to
go on the free list ; likewise , as
to necessities which we do not
produce , including tea and cof
fee ; my differences have arisen
in behalf of the Nebraska con
sumer or producer. Enough for
this paragraph.
The other paragraph reads :
"When Congressman Kinkaid
was a candidate for re-election ,
he promised to oppose the re
election of Mr. Cannon as speak
er of the House. The record of
the proceedings in the House on
March 15th shows that he voted
for Cannon. How do you ac
count for this ? "
I shall "account" for the vote
satisfactorily , I am confident , by
a statement of the facts , for
with one other single exception ,
every locality , both in and out of
Nebraska , from which I have
heard , from the opposers ot Can
non , hearty approval given my
record has been universal. My
promise , made iu printed circu
lars , was : "Will oppose the re
election of Mr. Cannon as speak
er. " This I fulfilled with the
utmost fidelity by constantly op
posing his re-nomination and re
election to the extent I could go ,
and remain within the pale of
the party , which was until he
had been overwhelmingly re-
nominated by the House caucus.
This did not express or imply I
would bolt a possible nomination
for Cannon , and no constituent
required a promise so suicidal
for me to have made , as I was
then asking for votes because I
was myself the nominee of my
party ; to have made such a promise -
| ise would have justly invited my

own defeat. Of all the tests of
party loyalty , the record a mem
ber makes as to the permanent
organization of the Congress , is
the supreme one , If he shall re
pudiate the action of this cau
cus , as to nominations , a party
question in the highest degree ,
he thereby forfeits his right to
party consideration , without
which , his efforts made in be
half of his district , must prove a
failure. I regard this paragraph
a sufficient vindication of my
vote.
Another proposition , sufficient ,
in itself , if I needed it , is that
between the time when the
promise was made and the time
for its fulfillment , conditions
had so changed as to render its
successful performance impossi
ble. The fall election , carrying
with it the re-election of Mr.
Cannon and enough of his re
publican friends , both to nomi-
aatcand , elect him , the question
as to the speakership became
settled in his favor. According
ly , his pre-election republican
competitors , numbering six or
more , withdrew , and turned
their support to him , leading
dailies generally conceded his re
election to the speakership ; and
thereafter the opposers of Can
non restricted their letters to re
quests , not for the defeat of Can.
non , but rather for a reformation
of the Rules through which the
power .wielded by the Speaker ,
obnoxious , and held excessive ,
had been exercised. This turn
of things itself , would have
excused me from further effort
as to the speakership , but I did
not stop here. Notwithstand
ing that previous to election , I
had made no promise whatever
as to Kules reformation , I united
earnestly in co-operation with
other "insurgents" in that be
half , with the result of a partial
victory , which would have been
complete , except that a demo
cratic element insurged , going
over to the Cannon element on
the republican side. Neverthe
less , we gained a great victory
which has already borne fruit by
the passage of bills which had
been pending for several pre
vious sessions , for the non-con
sideration of which , the Speaker
had been held responsible , not
able among which was the bill
to control intoxicants shipped in
packages from one state to an
other , after reaching their desti
nation. The result of a change
made in the rules is far more
reaching , permanent and affect
ive , against the essence of the
difficulty , about which the people
ple complained , than would have
been the personal defeat of the
speaker himself , which was
wholly impossible. The Can
non lonowing woum many times
have preferred 'that I vote
against him and for the old rules ,
rather than the reverse , as I did
vote. This , of itself , was a gra
tuitous and abundant perform
ance of the substance or purpose
of my promise ; and proves that I
had the real cause at heart
throughout.
Another very important feat
ure was , that , while the Presi
dent was at first reckoned to be
in sympathy with the "insur
gents , " finally , deeming the suc
cess of revision , along the lines
promised , imperilled by the
serious division in republican
ranks , he threw the great influ
ence of his administration in be
half of a reconciliation , conced
ing the speakership to Cannon
ami a modification as to what
the "insurgents" asked as to
Rules. This , I acknowledge ,
was a serious consideration with
me , for I was impliedly pledged
to help to carry out the policies
of the platform , and those per
sonally avowed by the President ,
In confirmation that the de
feat of Cannon had been deter-
