Defense of Insurgents.

EMPORIA, Kan. July 2o-r'Speaker
Cannon is not only a standpatter but
standstiller," Representative Victor
Murdoch Kansas insurgent in the House
of Representatives. said Y Yesterday. Follow
ing in the wake of Speaker Cannon. he
defended the insurgent cause in his first
political speech of the campaign. and re-
piled to the Speakers charges made
here Monday.
Speaker Cannon Cor thirty years has
been opposed to locomotion in any direc-
ton. For more than a quarter of CEN
fury he has stood out against progress
He is not only a standpatter. but a stand
stiller. During his political life he has
opposed about all the progressive legis-
lation that has been offered. The wonder
is that so much managed to creep into
the statue books.
The greatest thing the insurgents have
done has been to put Cannon off the
committee on rules. The insurgents not
only wish to take the power away from
Speaker Cannon. but from AL future
Speakers. The Dulwark OF the Speaker,
power is his authority 70 appoint the
committees. They want TO take that
away from him Ii then will be impossi-
bic for him either TO reward or punish
members.

4 GLOWING SENTIMENT.

There Is q strong and ever increas'
ms feeling among a large element Of
me Republican party that no matter
what the outcome Of the bought pri
malies now going for Senator Scott
he willsnot be, -elected,to the United
State Senate. The friends of Mr.. Hub
bard are not willing to say that he
shall quit the race and there are those
who arenot favorable to Mr.. Hubbard
that are not for Senator Scott. This
feeling Of hostility. to Senator SCOTS
re-election has been growing to an
alarming extent SO far as his candt
dacy Is concerned even in the midst Of
his seemingly sweeping victories. II
Is especially noticeable in the north
EN- and central part Of the State and
the southern part Of the State is only
waiting for enough northern opposi

southern man possible. If that day
comes and Mr.. Hubbard should moi
Show Sufficient strength to win, the
anti;S Scott men of the northern and

the southern men and elect a man
from down State; There is no doubt
that such plan is3oA foot even now
