Eaton's calm and sdnging denunciation of the ma chine In control of the house, he was interrupted with wild applause from the crowded lobby and many members of the house. It amounted to an ova tion. The steam roller leaders were wild with anxiety. Vernon A.

"We found nothing on the surface Following the Jolt administered by Eaton and other Insurgents last night, the house organization was given an I other bump today1. The machine seems to be getting very wobbly, and the leaders look worried and dis pirited. A message from Governor' West, that arrived at the psychological mo ment, put ginger into the Insurgents, and aided in defeating the organiza tion's plan to defeat the bill that would repeal the Thompson swamp land bill nassed over the covernor's veto. The governor had Bent In a similar mes sage several days ago. Today's mes sage read In part as follows : "As you were previously advised, the passage of the Thompson bill will prevent the state from securing title to several thousand acres of land, which should be sold for the benefit of the common school fund.
