Primary Today in Which Insurgency
is Measuring Itself Alongside
Of The Resu-
TAWNEY IN DANGER
Pinchot Was Campaigning In First
District and is Believed to
Have Made an
Impression.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 2O.-Min-
nesota is measuring up it's insurgency
today IN a primary election which
covers congressional candidates. The
weather and sentiment both favor a
heavy vote.
In the first district Pinchot, Heaney
and other big guns of the progressive
movement have campaigned against
James A. Tawney with telling effect.
He is opposed by Sidney Anderson and
early reports indicate rebuke to
Tawney by a largely reduced vote If
not by defeat.
In the Fourth district, comprising
st. Paul, E. S. Stevens is opposed by
II. T. Halbert, whose supporters have
not had a great deal of confidence un.
til tie last few days. Stevens re
nomination is regarded as probable
however.
The Fifth district, Minneapolis, has
a hot fight between Frank Nye, the
present congressman, accused of close
affiliation with the Cannon clique on
the one side and Albert H. Fall, pro
gressive on the other. Nye has beer
on the defensive throughout the cam
/ paign, and If he is nominated or de
| feated it will be by the silent vote
The district Is strongly progressive
and Nye's personality is all that car
save him. Falls nomination would
not be surprise.
