 No denials or contradictions of this alleged common talk have ap- 1 peared from regular sources. Can it be true that stalwart and partisan republicans are going to outinsurge the insurgents sg'-Chicago Record Herald

 Answering the question put by the Chicago Record Herald is so easy that it is not necessary to make in quiries.
 Shouting for insurgency is pleas ing to democrats who have grown old waiting for victory and who grew up hating the republican machine But victory for insurgents is not a benefit for democrats It would not permit the cause of Mir. Cannons ora tions to cause the defeat of MT. Cannons friends in any number of states unless there should eyentu- ate victory over insurgents at the polls. And il will be easier for dem ocrats to defeat conservatives than insurgents at the approaching cleo ton.
 The New York Outlook-which our sprightly contemporary Life has ap- propriately dubbed the Outlet-says the voter should prefer a progressive house nominally democratic rather than a reactionary house nominally republican. This Is a rattling good argument for insurgency when nom nations are to be made or are ia the making. and it is more far sight cd than the rantings of the standpat- ters who shout for orthodoxy and whose shouts, if effective, would ex- pose the republican candidates to the greatest risk of defeat in all close districts at the general election.
 The Record-Herald in the course of it's article. has this 10 say:
 "Doubtess there will be plenty Of independent voting and scratching next November. but without strong corroborative evidence we are not prepare to believe that many regu- lar republicans will so far stultify themselves as to knife insurgents in the interest. not of progressive and desirable democrats-there would be no possible advantage to them in that-but of reacionary or machine owned democrats. Perhaps Chairman Lloyd is over-capitalizing the excited utterances of a few disgruntled spells politicians who are regular only when they are in the saddle and whose no tion of regularity does not preclude secret deals and bipartisan senator ships"
 ! When the election rolls around there wil be very few republicans ready to vote for democrats of any kind rather than insurgents. There
 will be so few that they will be a
 neglibible factor in the results. There
 may be. however, many independent
 voters who. realizing that nobody
 but the gentlemen elected would profit by electing an insurgent house
 will vote for democrats rather thar insurgents. This vote the democrats
 should now exert themselves to get There may be. and doubtless ther
 are, many republicans who woul'
 vote for any respectable democra
 rather than for a republican of th
 Cannon-Aldrich-Taft school. But tn

 enough not to remain republican
