I Norris to Work for La Follette
Washington June 8 Special
Demoralization among the insurgents
is complete today following the dis
covers that Senator Cummins of Iowa
has determined to cast his lot with
President Taft for another nomina
tion as against Senator La Follette
When La Follettes friends began to
count noses in the senaate today
they found that there were mighty
few in numbers The only senators
-who could definitely be counted upon
to stand by LaFollette to the end and
carry their fight for him to the
floor of the next republican national
convention were Bourne of Oregon
Poindexter of Washington Bristow of
Kansas and Clapp of Minnesota
There is some doubt about Works of is not only vice president of the pro-
California that senator not having
made his position clear as yet Sena
tor Brown of Nebraska together with
eight other infurgents has decided to
line up for Taft in 1912 This break
in insurgent ranks is disconcerting to
La Follettes friends
In the case of Senator Brown it is
pointed out that although he was one
of the organizers of the national re
publican progressive league he has
- 11jN
i j -
never committed himself against Pres
ident Taft On the other hand he
has been on friendly terms with the
president even when Cummins and
La Follette were fighting the admin
istration Brown will be with the
president for another term the rad
ical insurgents having failed to win
him over to the La Follette candid
acy
In this connection it is significant
that the senators contest in Nebras
ka will furnish at least two important
issues It is taken for granted here
that Representative Norris will be a
candidate against Senator Brown Mr
Norris has voted against Canadian re
ciprocity Senator Brown will vote
for the measure in the senate Norris
gressive league but one of La Fol
lettes most ardent boomers and
among the insurgents in the house
who aTe unalterably opposed to an
other nomination of Taft Senator
Brown is for Taft for another term
The two men therefore will have at
least two very important issues as
subjects for debate in their primary
contest J C Welliver in Lincoln

Washington June 9 Special
Senator Brown today made plain his
attitude on the presidential campaign
The senator has never been counted
as an enemy of President Taft not
withstanding his prominence in the
organization of the republican pro
gressive league and his association
with Senator La Follette on many
matters in the senate
My position in this matter of pres
idential policies is perfectly plain and
easy to understand said Senator
Brown today I think I was one of
the first men in Nebraska to urge th
passage of the primary law in such
form that the voters of the state
could express their preference foi
president and the principles I advo
cated were enacted into law at the
last session of -the legislature The
people of Nebraska now have it in
