INSURGENTS MAKE GAINS
TX KANSAS PRIMARIES
Governor Stubs, Their Leader, Re-
nominated by Large Majority.
OKLAHOMA STAND. PATTER WINS
Missouri Insurgent Wins - Progress
siye Beaten for Nomination in
Kansas City District-Morgan, a
Cannon Lieutenant, Victorious.

Topeka, Kan.--The foes of Speak
er Cannon and United States Senator
Aldrich made decided gains in the
Kansas primaries, The Insurgents
carried six Of the eight Republican
congress districts, and may have car
ried seven. Their entire state ticket,
from governor down, received a ma
jority. The Stand-patters carried the
Third congress district and may have
won the first, but this is all that is
left to them.
The most bitter factional fight ever
ever known in the Republican party
of Kansas eliminated in Tuesdays
struggle between the Stand-pat and
Insurgent factions
The primary was the first real test
between the Insurgents and Stand
patters. The Regulars were attacked
all along the line by Governor Stubs,
Senator Bristow, Senator Cummins
and Representative Murdoch. The
course Of Senator Aldrich and Speak
er Cannon was under fire.
It is likely that the majority for
the progressive state ticket will run
as high as 25, 900.
The winners as indicated are:
For Governor-W. r. Stubs, In
surgent.
For Congress- First district, D. R.
Anthony, Stand-patter; Second dis
trict, Charles F. Scott, Stand-Datter:
