WASHINGTON INSURGENTS SMILE BROADLY OVER
 TAFT'S LATEST COUP.

washington,sep 15.-Broad smiles iI1umined the faces of the insurgent element in political circles here to- day when the news was received from Beverly that President Taft had decided to allow insurgent Senators and Representatives to have their share of patronage. They recalled their ominous days of last winter when one of the worst breaks, made by the regulars in their efforts to get Insurgents into line for administra- ton measures, resulted in the threats of removal of Federal patronage.
 This failed to terrify a large DOT ton of the insurgents and the penalty. was inflicted upon them Some Sen ators-notab1y LaFoH not permitted to appoint postmasters in their home towns, one of the most ancient customs in the history of political patronage. Insurgents were required to tell men who had worked hard for their election in politics and who were entitled to the reward, that it could not be done.
 It is said that while the insurgents will be pleased to accept the oppor- tunity to take care'' of some Of their friends, there is little prospect that st will change their attitude towards questions arising in Congress.

It provides a restoration to insurgents of a share of Federal patronage. Tn brief, President Taft declares himself a friend of progressiveS.
 Politicians here declare that the new attitude of the administration is not adopted as a concession to the insur- ognition of their Republicanism and an attempt by the President, as titular Reader of the party, to turn "unpro- gressiye'' activity into channels where the most>good can be accomplished

 Al score or more insurgents lost their share of Federal patronage during the last session of Congress. Senators La Toilette, Bristow and Cummins were among the most conspicuous of these but there were a dozen or more Representatives who at various times fought in vain for the privilege of naming constituents for government jobs.

UP IN
 ILLINOIS TODAY
Congressman Boutell Has Big
 Fight to Win in Primaries
Especial from United Press9

Special from United Press.)
 Chicago, Sept. 15.-With insur- gency as the issue in the Congression- al contests and Jack Potting'' and other alleged Irregularities of the legislature as the chief of the state questions, Illinois voters were called upon today to nominate Congress men, legislators, and minor officials in the statewide primaries.
 Although weather conditions were ideal early indications were that vot- ing would not be heavy. Congress man BouteH is. attracting the most attention in the Congressional fight, being opposed by Arthur West and Frederick H. Gansbergen, both insur- gents Congressman James R. Mann and Edmund F'oss, brother of the aSsachusetts Congressman, are also two of the progressive candidates. Toss is experiencing the time of his life in his efforts to win out over Frederick c. Delang and George En- glehart but the general belief is that Mann is reasonably sure of pulling through. Speaker Cannon will win re-nonination easily.
 In the down-state districts the con- tests are hot but are based more Deneen> and Lorimer issues than up on insurgency. Every candidate from the Loriner wing of the party has at least two opponents.
 Lee O'Neil Browne, recently ac- quilted of attempting to bribe Repre- sentative White, is a candidate for re- nomination to the state legislature.
