mated the states governor and
six of the eight members OF
congress. The insurgenJ victory
lin Kansas was decisive, The
issues we're clear cut and the
stand patters had Connon make

state Of Iowa is voritablo hot
bed of insurgency. The insur'
gents there recently organized
! the state convention, wrote the
platform, which failed TO give an
endorsement to the Taft admin
istration, and otherwise had
things their own way, The Iowa
platform declared that the two
! United States senators from that
state and the congressman who
voted against the tariff bill we're
patriots and that those who sup
ported the bill were traitors TO
the public welfare, In Cali
fornia the insurgents have come
off victorious. The same can be
said Of New Hampshire. The
stand 'patters have experienced
a surprising wane Of strength in
| Vermont which, with the lower
regions, is said to always roll up
a heavy republican majority
Many other insurgent victories
could be mentioned, Only last
week ln the Wisconsin primariee
Senator LaFollette, one Of the
ablest insurgent leaders, was re-
nominated for another term in
the senate. He literally buried
his stand-pat opponent The
standopatters concentrated their
efforts upon LaFoIlette because
of his prominence among the in
surgents and because his defeat
would be q signal blow to insur-
Igency LaFollette won, despite
the fact that his health would
not permit him to make a can"
vees of the state, To show the
interest centered upon LaFoll'
stte'e race it needs only to be
mentioned that insurgent Leaders
from other states went into Wis

LaFollette, q recognized power,
whose courage fears neither men
nor devils. There is Senator
Bcveridge Of Indiana, to many
minds one OF the greatest men OF
the country irrespective Of party

TWO TENNIS STARS
ARE HOME AGAIN
McLOughiin and Long Have No
Excuses TO Offer for Their
Australian Defeat

Maurice Mclaughlin and Melville
Long. the great little California tennis
players who made such a brave stand
against the Australian cracks two
months ago, arrived yesterday on the
steamer Alameda from the land of the
Kangaroo. Both lads speak in the high
est terms of the treatment they re-
ceived in Australia and have no excuses
to offer for their defeat.
The players were met by a large del
egation of their friends and a commit
tee from the California tennis club. who
accorded them hearty welcome. The
players appeared to be in the best Of
health and declared that they would be
ready to resume activities on the local
courts after a few days of rest.
II am rather surprised at the ratings
made by the national tennis commits
sion," said Mclaughlin. Il see that they
have put me sixth on the list and
placed Longs name in seventh position.
l do not want to kick about this. be-
cause I suppose it is all right, but at
the same time il looks as though some
mistake had been made.
Il thought that they would rank me
about third and that Long would get in
fourth or fifth place. 1t seems strange
that this was not done, for the reason
that Long and myself have each beaten
Niles and Johnson, the men who were
rated ahead of us However, we win
have to let it go at that, and 1 believe
we will get better rating the next
time
Both McLoughlin and Long are of
the opinion that the American tennis
players as a whole are better than the
Australians. They added that Learned,
the national American champion, can
beat Brooks, the best man Australia
