The fall of the House of Cannon: Uncle Joe and his enemies, 1903-1910
Abstract
dc:description"Joseph Gurney Cannon, known more commonly as ""Uncle Joe"" by friend and foe alike, was among the most powerful and controversial politicians in the United States during the first decade of the twentieth century. As Speaker of the House of Representatives, he wielded more power than had any of his predecessors. Cannon was second to the president alone in ability to influence national affairs. Only a change in the rules of the House brought about by the Republican Insurgents in March of 1910 finally broke the Speaker's sway."
