IL for laundering the People.

Congressman Henry T. Rainey.
chairman Of the Illinois Democratic
State convention. declares that the
efforts o. the 'insurgent' Congress
men had been purposeless and ~
tile. and predicted general Democrat
ic victories throughout the country
in the coming election.
He said in part: The Democratic

without exception they voted for him
and so the present Speaker Of the
House of Representatives has the
honor Of being twice elected Speaker
during the life OF one Congress.
When the Democrats succeeded
in enlarSing the committee on rules
the insurgents at once held z caucus
