INSURGENTS" WIN IN IOWA.

II is gratifying To see that so-called
"insurgcut Republicans have made
such a clean sweep in Iowa. They car
ried eight out of eleven Congressional
districts in that State, and they car
ried the districts which have IN them
the big Republican majorites
The First district, embracing the cnpt-
tai and surrounding counties, was ear
ried by the present Representative, C..
A. Kennedy, who is 'stand- -patter,
| This district two years ago gave Mr.
Kennedy u plurality of 1923. II was the
all surprising to see thar plurality
wiped out this year and Democrat re-
turned from that district.
| The Second district is carried by Mr.
Charles Grilk, "insurgent, rs against
the present Representative, Mr.. A. r..
Dawson. The Republican plurality IN
this district two years ago was 1869
The probability is that this plurality
will he increased this year, because
insurgency is popular in Iowa ana
the very tendencies that would go TO
decrease or wipe out the Republican
majority in the First district Will go.
to the increasing of the Republican ma
iority in the Second,
The Third district is carried by MT.
G. f. Prickctt, the present Representa-
tive, "insurgent, The plurality IN
this district two years ago was Sl0S,
The Fourth district is carried by &.
y. Haugen, "'insurgcnt, the present
Representative, His plurality two years
ago was 1924.
The Fifth district is carried by James
w. Good the present Representative,
.'insurgcnt. His plurality two years
ago was 67S2.
The Sixth district, carried by \. +.
Kendall, "insurgcnt, The present Rep
resentativc. is close. His plurality two
years ago was 2sl He viii probably |
have hard fight
The Seventh district has Dcen AN
nounced as close between the "stand. |
pattcrs and the progressivcs or
- insurgents. 1t is carried by c. +. |
Prouty. "insurgent In this district |
two years ago. the Republican plurality
was 1911 The district is evidently
safely Republican.
The Eighth district. tho old Hepburn
district, is carried by stand pattcr,''
Mr.. II. NJ Towner. II looks as though
be had rather poor chance for elcc.
ton. Representative w. Z. Hepburn,
he veteran was defeated for rc.elec.
ton in this district two years ago, and
W. ID. Jameson. a Democrat, was elect.
I'd by plurality Of 80. lnasmuch as
'stand-patism is not popular thing
n Iowa, Mr. Towncr 5 chance OF cleo
ion is not bright
In the Ninth district, Walter J.
smith, "stand-pattcr. present Repre-
sentative, is renominatcd. His election
ought TO bc reasonably safe because he
was elected two years ago with plur
Atty of 5554; still, there is no telling,
The "insurgent tendency is so strong
n Iowa this year that even this great
plurality may be wiped out
In the Tenth district, Frank p.
Woods, the present Representative, an
: insurgent is rcnominated. He was
Elected two years ago by plurality of
I2,352; so that he is AS good as elected
-lready.
In the Eleventh district, r. r. Hub.
'ard. "insurgent, - is rcnominated. He
vas elected in 1908 by plurality of
439. He also is reasonably safe.
1t appears that there are four dis.
ricts that might fairly bc called doubt
nj, the three in which the "stand
ers' are nominated, and the Eighth,
n which Democrat now has the seat,
md ii would not be at all surprising
o see all of these four districts carried
'y Democrats this year. IT is sure
hing that in Iowa "stand pattero
S always in danger when he comes be
ore the people for their endorsement.
In the contest for Governor, Mr.. Car
oil had the great advantage of the
'arty usage that accords a second term
o AN official who has done satisfactory
work IN his first. And he was indie
not pronounccdly either a
stand -patter' or ''insurgent, - though
he stand-patters claimed him. And
ct, while he may have been successful. :
he result is really a brilliant victory q.
or his 'insurgent' competitor.
