by Vote Of His Con-
stituentS.

Chicago, Sept. 19-Progressive candi-
lates for congress were victorious in
three congressional districts out of %
IN Illinois yesterday, but the progress
I've forces of the state were routed in
their efforts to defeat the two members
Of the legislature who had most to do
with the sale OF the United States SEN
atorship to William Lorimer.
Speaker Shurtleff, who led the Lori
mel republicans, and Lee O'Neill
Browne. the democratic henchman Of
Lorimer. who was acquitted of bribery
last week, were both renominated. OF
81 democrats who voted for Lorimer,
% We're renominated, although a des-
perate effort was made to punish them
for supporting a republican, especially
In view Of the charged that they were
bribed to do so.
BoutelI Is Slaughtered.
Henry S. Boutell, standpatter and
member Of the ways and means COM
mittee of the House. who has repre-
sented the Ninth (Chicago) district for
IL years. was beaten badly Tor renom-
fnation by Frederick II. Gansbergen.

platform. The vote stood as follows:
G~ansbergen, 1884; Boutell. 1888; Ar
thur West, 1,134.
In the Eleventh district. Colonel Ira
c. Copely, the first man in Illineis to
come out as an insurgent. candidate,
won the republican nomination over

as a progressive conservative. This Of

Snapp, a sta~ndpatter. Colonel Copely
carried the district by 46S votes, ac-
cording to the latest figures.
John G. Mckenzie secured the re-
publican nomination in the Thirteenth
DISTRICT nitAr a cntrttAl aNntnak .r,Xt
Reuben r. Tiffany. Both Mckenzie
and Tiffany denied afiliation with the
standpatters, Mckenzie making his
campaign rs a progressive, while Tiff
fanny exhibited slightly more radical
views and called himself an insurgent.
Congressman Frank o. Lowden, the
present representative from this dis
trict, has been aligned with the regu-
lars. and the selection Of either Nc

gain for the progressives.

and head of the naval affairs commit
tee Of the House, won the republican
nomination in the Tenth district by
about 800 votes, after a hard contest
