EXPLAINS INsyReENT STAND.
Congressman Davis Declares Movement
is Protest Against Money Power.

Congressman Davis Declares Movement
is Protest Against Money Power.
Washington, Jan. 2S.-Representative
Davis of Minnesota last night gave out
statement relative to the insurgent
movement in the house. He declares
that the Insurgents are protesting
against the money power as represent
ed by Aldrichism and Cannonism; that
the insurgents are the real, simon-pure
republicans, while the regulars are
rightly under suspicion. Mr.. Davis
statement follows:
The insurgent movement in congress
Is deep-rooted in principle and is in
spired by no selfish motives. Originat-
ing with the people as protest
against Cannonism and Aldrichism,
the movement has developed until 1t
stands today a resistless force to re-
store to the house of representatives
full control over its proceedings and
the enactment Of legislation for the
people. It is but the expression Of the
wishes Of the people thru their rep
resentatives to wrest from the moneyed
interests of the country the control Of
legislation. It is a protest against the
system. It is the sincere attempt to
restore to the people the full measure
Of popular government.
"The insurgent is a republican. He
stands on his party platform and for
the fulfilinent of his party's pledges.
No statement or statements emanating
from any source can read him out of
the party on whose platform he stands.
i"Statements have been made that

LIQUOR INSURANCE POINT.
DistiIcry Fire Case at Oskaloosa q
Go to w. S. Court.


Oskaloosa, Jan. 2S.-Iowa liquor
dealers can not collect insurance on
liquors destroyed by fire without first
proving that they held the intoxicants
with lawful intent. that is. that they
had no intention of disposlng of the
booze" to bootleggers or other violat
ors of the liquor laws.
This was the contention of Judge A.
G. Parker, of Des Moines. In his argu-
ment before Judge Wilcockson at Os-
kaloosa in the Hoover Distilling Com
panys case against nineteen insurance
companies. and on this point Judge
Parker, representing the insurance
companies. yesterday announced that
the case will be appealed to the SUI
preme court.
The case is one OF the most Interest,"
ing TO insurance concerns of any ever
tried In Iowa Judge Parker says .if
the Insurance companies contention Is
sustained on appeal 1t will behoove
Iowa liquor dealers who carry insur-
ance on their stocks To see that the pro-
visions of the Iowa state laws are
strictly observed
Judge Parker and H. Fl. Sheriff rep
resented the insurance companies or
the defendants in the motion for a new
trial and Major Lacey and james A.
Dewitt represent the plaintiffs. Judge
Willcockson overruled the motion OF

policies. 1t is noteworthy that these
republicans stand and have stood in
the past for constructive, progressive
legislation. 1t was this element in the
republican party which consistently
stood for and urged the enactment into
law of the Roosevelt policies.
Those republicans who now assert
that the insurgents oppose Tafts poll
cies We're against the Roosevelt poll
cies until forced to support them. 1t
would be unreasonable and Illogical to
assume that the insurgents, who have
always favored the progressive legisla-
ton of Taft's predecessor, now should
oppose such legislation.
1.-The insurgent asserts that vital
principle in representative government
is at stake, and that this is paramount
to party solidarity. The issue as re-
CARDS the continuance of Cannonism
and Aldrichism as an obstruction to
the enactment of laws beneficial to the
people as a whole is vital and takes
precedence over party solidarity.
"The insurgents believe that until
this principle in representative govern
ment is thoroughly re-established and
Cannonism and Aldrichism made a
thing of the past, the will of the people
will be thwarted."

papers. Will McMullen, GAINESVILLE,

Two insertions of the above adver-
tisement in the columns of local pa
per, were all that was necessary in
bringing together two hearts that now
beat as one, for in little home in
GAINESVILLE, Iowa, sits a man and his
wife of a day, as happy as two pro-
verbal doves.
The happy event was solemnized
yesterday afternoon by Justice Frank
Knapp, uniting the lives of William
Sidney McMullen, of GAINESVILLE, and
Mrs. Iva Irene Hall, of this city. after
courtship lasting less than one hour.
McMullen received many replies from
his advertisement, large number be-
ing from Waterloo and several from
out of the city. Out of all the answers
appointments were made with two for
last Saturday evening in the street car
waiting room, but they failed to ap-
pear and after several other unsuccess
full attempts an appointment was made
with Mrs. Hall. Weariless Willie sailed
forth from GAINESVILLE yesterday with
high hopes to return in the evening
with a wife whom he had only known
for less than an hour previous to his
marriage.

TAFT BUSY ON HARMONY PLAN.
Proposed Conference to Settle Differ
ences in Various States.

ences in Various States.
Washington, Jan. 2S-President Taft
has mapped out a comprehensive pro-
gram to restore peace to the republican
party. He proposes to have confer
ences with representatives Of those
states which are politically doubtful
and to use his influence to compose
the differences afflicting the party
therein.
Some days ago the president talked
with Senator Beveridge and Represen-
tatives William o. Barnard and Edgar
D. Crumpacker, the remains of the re-
publican party in Indiana.
He also has talked with former Sen
ator Heminway and former Congress-
man Watson of the same state. Sub
sequently he conferred with the delega-
tion from Ohio, the delegation from
South Dakota, and influential members
Of congress from New York and repre-
sentatives Of the republican organiza-
tion in that state.
AS result wheels have been set in
out obstacles raised by personal dis
putes and to bring about general party
cooperation in the states named.
These conferences will be followed
by others. in which will participate
men from Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas. and
other commonwealths where the insur-
gent feeling is strong, and where dem
ocratic victory may be the result
The prime motive Mr.. Taft has in
this work is the continuance Of repub-
lican domination in both houses of
congress, in order that the legislation
he has advocated may be enacted. For
no other reason would the president
consent to mix in local squabbles. He

FARMERS OPPOSE BOYCOTT.
Favoring RetaIiatory Meas
ures Adopted at Davenport.

Davenport, Jan. 2S.-Before adjourn
ing the 10Th annual meeting of the
Farmers Institute at Eldridge resolu-
tions were offered denouncing the or
ganized boycott by pledging abstinence
from animal food thruout the country.
The farmers view the action as un-
warrantable and unjust and in direct
opposition to the producer, rather than
the packer, and the resolutions as
passed declare that Communities as
we'll as individuals have a right to re-
sist with the same weapons with which
they are attacked"
The resolutions declare with the
same emphasis that, recognizing the
right, such products as are under boy
colt may be held from the market un-
til an appetite creates the usual de-
mand.
