INSURGENTS
STILL BUSY

"The Head Officers have apparent
ly won in the delegate elections, &C
cording to information received in
Minneapolis" says Mr.. Bjornson,
chairman of the Insurgent Publicity
committee.
In Minnesota the Administrator
men and St. Paul Federation follow
ers walked out of the state conven-
ton when they saw the Insurgents
were in the majority and Joined in
electing contesting delegation. But
Mr.. Bjornson says the regularly
elected delegates will be seated as
there were no reasons for a bolt.
Owing to the Mobile law, enacted
in Is states, under which all national
orders must raise their rates in 1907
or soon thereafter, the Minnesota
Woodmen are endeavoring to form a
new state order and keep down the
rates in this healthy state and Mr..
Bjornson says it is necessary to or
ganize before the Head Camp in June
to get the benefits Of this plan, and
members over the state are urged
to write to the Modern Woodmen
committee in Minneapolis for appli-
cations and information
The fact that the Insurgents seem.
to have lost in most states makes
the members feel that there is more
reason for alarm in the future on the
rate question. Under the new rul-
ings of the Insurance department
those who sign preliminary papers
for the state order need not quit the
M. w. of A. but may remain in both,
which IS a great advantage to them.
