Especial Correspondence

AS a result, it is impossible for the
first time to give a tentative list of the
republicans who are already set down
as insurgents of various degrees. 1t is
claimed that the forty seven republic
cans named in the list will vote to-
gether at all opportunities when it is
apparent there is a chance to develop
a parliamentary status in which the
present organization. can be attacked.
This list of forty-sev republicans
is not given as final, or as absolutely
accurate. 1t is prepared by one of the
leading insurgents and is based ON
personal interviews, correspondence,
and other information as to the atti-
tude of the men who are claimed to
be ready for the anti-Cannon cam

This makes total of forty-five ac-
tually named. The claim is that two
other names could be given if it We're
regarded as proper to make them pub

this list there will probably be mum

quarters-unexpecte that is. by both
the organization and the general pub
lie. A total of fifty is claimed with
rather remarkable confidence
Along with the foregoing list came
the following statement from the man
who prepared it:
i i do not know whether it is proper
TO give out any names at this time.

rules of political game as it is COM
