He Is firmly convinced that Speaker Cannon will hanp to the job and that the next election, which will come with the spertid session In March, will see the oppoettlcin line up in docile fashion for the autocratic smeaker. Before election Congressman Pollard would not state hi position publicly. He said to his friend that he "did not wish to Jeopards? hi committee position by " inr BJtalnst a sure thing or word to that effect. He said immediately after election that be fid not think his defeat was due in any measure to his attitude toward tbe Cannon matter. The congressman believed that President Roosevelt wa wrong In the stlnd he had taken that created such a turmoil regard ing the use of the secret service corjw. The First district congressman believed that the special message was, in this par ticular, founded on Ignorance of th truth tit secret service affairs. Rest Rwa twr Wtars.
