BROKEN BOW. Neb., Jan. .-(Speclal.)
Owing to the fact that numerous people
In this part of the stats have been express
ing much concern as to Congressman Kln
kaid's actual position in the "insurgents' "
ranks, H. G. Myers of this plsce wrote
him a letter on the subject and received
the personal reply which follows. The let
ters referred to are from Congressmen E.
A. Hayes and A. P. Gardner, the latter
gentleman deploring the fact that on the
day of the dinner Mr. Kinkaid had un
dergone a painful operation and was unable
to attend:
January SI, 19"9. -- Herbert G. Myers.
Broken Bow. Neb. My Dear Mr. Myers:
I am in receipt of your esteemed favor of
the 16th Inst, by which you write me fur
ther as to what I may have been doing In
the way of opposition to the official Influ
ence of Mr. Cannon. In my reply to your
flrat letter I stated that nothing had been
done or could be done by the present con-
freas. which ia the Sixtieth congress. In
he way of the election of a speaker for
the Sixty-first congress to commence
March 4, snd while your lsst letter virtu
ally gTanta this to be tru. you further
state In effect that my constituents regard
the "Insurgent" element as the most pro
gressive of the congress and that newspa
per reports have failed to Identify me with
this element. You state that "the main
proposition under consideration Is, in what
wav have vou been using your Influence
against tlie influence of Speaker Cannon?"
Replying, will say the only way worthy of
mention in which opposition to Speaker
Cannon has been manifested try the "In
surgent" element during the session haa
been by agitating a rhange of the rules, to
the end that less power be conferred upon
the speaker and more be reserved to the
memliershio fundamentally.
What nave 1 done in tins respect! rrsc-
tically 1 have done the same aa other "In
surgents," not so much ss Colonel Hep
burn of Iowa, Mr. Gardner of Massachu
setts or Mr. Hayes of. California, who have
ueen ilia niuai acuta hiiu t oiiBpicuuus , un
more than a few and certainly as much as
the average. 1 have attended all the meet
ings nave one. when it was Impracticable,
and 1 am pretty confident that every other
member identified wltn the movement, not
excepting the chairman iuMisclf. has missed
one or more of the meetings. More than a
year ago 1 became identified with the de
mand for the very reformation of rules
now being sought, as a letter which Con
gressman Hayes has volunteered to give
me, and which I shall send you. will ver
ify. 1 was one of the first to advocate a
change in the rules, especially reserving
the right to the members of the house
themselves to name the standing commit
tees, and that Is the principal thing now
being sought, at any rate by a majority of
the "Insurgents."
However, this Idea was not new to m
by any means when 1 became Identified
with the movement during the last session,
for I was an active factor in the legislative
session of 183 of Nebraska In establishing
the first precedent that members of tlie
state senate themselves name the members
of the standing committees, with the chair
man or each. HKherto the lieutenant srov-
ernor had named the standing committees
or that hody. A few republican state sen
ators, of whom I wss one. joined with so
called Independent republicans and demo
crats and carried the proposition against
the opposition of other republicans and
possibly a few democrats. Ever since the
session of 1883 this precedent hss been fol
lowed and I hsve ever since been an ad
vocate of the rule and principle and for at
least a year have been working for the
adoption of the rule In our national house
of representatives.
Explains Gardner Dinner.
As I have not carefully scrutinized what
reports sent out from here to Nebraska
datllea have contained concerning mv Iden
tity or nontdentlty with the "insurgents."
I am unable to meet all the possible rea
sons that may exist for the Impression to
which your letter refers, but in the last
few days It has come to my knowledge
that the World-Herald made soma Insinua
tion, If not accusation, against me for not
attending the dinner given by Congressman
Gardner of Massachusetts to the "lnsur-
Senls." Having mentioned this to Mr.
ardner, he volunteered to write me a
letter, which I enclose, for publication and
which I will let suffice for the World
Herald item.
I shall enclose also a letter from Con
gressman Hayes for publication. For more
than a year; In fact, since when the com
mittees were being made up in the first of
December, 1907. 1 have constantly experi
enced and suffered the disadvantage inci
dent to being classed in opposition to the
speaker.
If It be a fault to not In each Instsnes
hsve called the attention of the reporters
to so common a place matter as my having
attended a meeting of the "Insurgents," I
must plead guilty thereto.
Assuring you. and, through your valuable
paper, my constituents, that I hold my
self In readiness to fully meet anv specific
charges of ommlsslnn or commission at any
time auegea as to tne speaaersnip proposi
tion, and thanking you for your solicitude,
the palna you have taken and for the space,
I remain, very truly yours.

til late today, when morning papers carry
Ing the Sioux City stcry that Norfolk was
on fire cvame to town, did Norfolk people
realize why they had been besieged all
day with anxious telegraphic Inquiries as
to how much of their property was de
stroyed. The report probsbly grew out of
the fire destroying the old Norfolk house
J during the bllzsard. Wires were down In
the storm and apparently somebody hi dis
connected telephone conversation had told
Just enough of the fire to create alarm.
The north Nebraska school folks banquet,
scheduled here for tonight was postponed.
No trains ran between Norfolk and Sioux
Uit.y today. Other trains were late.
