bers of the house organization are
seeking through various channels TO
defeat practically every insurgcnt can

There is absolutely no doubt thJt

1t is known that within the last
several weeks more than one republi-

seen in conference with Chairman
Lloyd at his headquarters. and it is
also known that these republicans

otherwise. to defeat republican insur-
gents II is likewise known that
Speaker Cannon's friends are paying
particular attention to the insurgents
in Kansas. The speakers campaign in
that state before the primaries is be-
lieved in many quarters to have been
directly responsible for the nomine-
ton OF insurgents over regulars.
The speakers friends desire to alb
solve him from this charge, and hence
the coalition with the democrats in
the state. Congressman James NJ.
Miller Of Kansas member of the
republican congressional campaign
committee, and one of the regulars
who went down to defeat in the pri-
maries after Speaker Cannon stumped
the district in his support, is said to
be one of the men who is known TO
have conferred with Chairman Lloyd;
but he is not the only one.
The managers of the republican

seats in the next house. 1t is with
full knowledge of this state of affairs
throughout the country that the group
Of regulars who remain loyal to
Speaker Cannon are making their
plans for the defeat of insurgents.
President Tafts suggestion that
il is time to get together and his will
ingness to recognize insurgents as
just as good q brand of republicans
as regular does not meet with the
approval of the Cannon followers,
and they will not heed the advice OF
the president. on the contrary, they
win seek to justify their leader and
themselves by eIecting democrats.
Many insurgents who have been
aware OF the negotiations between the
disgruntled republicans and the man
ayers of the democratic campaign
are willing to eliminate Chairman
William B. Mckinley and his asso-
ciates on the republican congression-
al campaign committee as parties to
the scheme being hatched for the
purpose OF causing the downfall of
the insurgents. One insurgent who is

on in the campaign committee, is au-
thority for the statement that Mr.
Mckinley is sincere in his desire TO
elect a republican house. but that he
is tremendously handicapped in many
ways and especially by prominent
men in his own party who are work
ing at cross purposes with the COM
mittee.
The statement is made by a men,

no insurgent has made an appeal this |
year for financial assistance.
