THE ILLINOIS PRIMARIES.
Insurgents Win In Three of the 25
Congressional Districts.

Chicago. Sept. 16-InSurgents were
victorious in three out of the % Con-
sressional districts OF Illinois in the
primary election yesterday.
Henry S. Boutell, standpatter Repub-
llcan. who has represented the ninth.
and Chicago district, in Congress for
IL years, was defeated by Frederick H.
Gensbergen, who conducted his cam
paign on an out and out Insurgent
platform. Gensbergen was supported
by the Regular Republican organiza :
ton. Gensbergen's vote was 1884 while
that of Boutell was 2598. Arthur West,
the third candidate, received 1874 votes.
In the 18th District, Colonel Ira G..
Copley, the first man in Illinois to come
out as an Insurgent candidate, won
the Republican nomination over George
w. Conn. who classed himself as a
progressive conservative. This seat
now is occupied by Howard M. Snapp
a Stand Patter
Colonel Copley carried the district by
1853 votes according to the latest fig
ures.
John c. Mckenzie secured the Re
publican nomination in the 18th Dis
trict after a spirited contest with Reu-
ben r. Tiffany. Both Mckenzie and
Tiffany denied affiliation with Stand
Patters, Mckenzie making his cam
paign as progressive. while Tiffany
exhibited slightly more radical views
and called himself an Insurgent. Con-
gresham Frank O. Louden, the present
representative from this district, has
been aligned with the Regulars. and
the selection of either Mckenzie oI
Tiffany would have been a gain for the
PrOgreSSives.
