Insurgent movement and party loyalty to the people
The piece defines the Insurgent movement as a Republican challenge to corrupt rules and moneyed interests, aiming to revive representative government. It notes Insurgents arose in 1909 amid tariff fights, opposing Wall Street influence and Cannon, Aldrich, and party machines. It compares 1909 to Lincoln-era principles and urges the party to realign with the people or risk Democrat restoration or third-party disruption.
