OF the insurgent body in both
houses of congress.
AS strong as was Poindexter in
washington at the beginning of
this year, his position is rendered
vastly more tenable by the events
transpiring at the national capital
when Speaker Cannon forever
lost his czar-like grip upon the
great legislative body over which
ne still presides but which no
longer bows the knee in humble
suDservience. Poindexter was
known and recognized from coast
to coast as one of the men who
mad fought through thick and
thin, had suffered abuse and bus
initiation from an arrogant major
ity, that the people, through their
representatives might govern the
land which they inhabit. It was
indeed great victory, and gives
to Poindexter the leading place in
the coming Washington senatorial
battle.

DULUTH, Mimi, Aug. 20
When Is an insurgent not an in
surgent not an insurgent?
When the real insurgents-the
voters-go cunning for his politi-
cal scalp.
That's what is happening ito
Clarence B. Miller, Duluth con-
gresham. Miller made and won
his campaign two years ago on an
anti-Cannon platform, defeating
the sparkling j. Adam Bede, one
of Uncle Joe's strongest support
ers. Scarcely had he taken his
seat when his insurgent enthusi-
asm suffered chilled feet, accord
ing to some Minnesota views. He
is suspected of too friendly a
feeling toward the steel trust,
which owns big chunk of Duluth.
Now two men seek emoluments
and perquisites of Miller's job.
One, on the republican side, is
Alex. Mcknight, a Duluth attor-
ney, progressive member of city
council and strong campaigner.
The other is Judge Alfred Jacques,
another Duluth attorney and a
progressive democrat.
1t looks as though the fight be-
tween Miller and Mcknight might
make a fine opening for Jaques.
