Victor Murdock's Comment.
WICHITA, Kan, August 3.-Victor
Murdock. the insurgent leader in Con-
Sress, in his home in this city today
heard the news of the insurgent vic
tories in Kansas yesterday. Mr.. Muir
dock said to the Associated Press:
The significance of the overwhelm-
ing insurgent victory in Kansas is two
fold.
"First-It is a complete repudiatio
of both Cannon and the system by
which he has robbed the people of free
government in the House. Scott, Mil
Ter and Reeder were chairmen of i'm
portant House committees, while Cal
derhead was on the ways and means
committee. All were beaten because
they subscribed to the Cannon system.
Second-The Kansas insurgent vic
tory is an effort by the republicans
of Kansas to say with emphasis to
the nation that the republican party
OF Kansas by indorsing Gov. Stubbs
and the Kansas insurgents in Con-
gress, stands for immediate and eff
1ective legislation framed to drive spe-
cial and selfish interests out of control
in American politics"
