the man who will get the credit and

ployes under him working for White,

The position of district attorney for
the newly created district has been
offered to Governor Atkinson. He can
o secure the judgeship, and it is
probable he VIII accept the attorney

he will not appoint to life positions
men of owe As years will shut out
Governor Atkinson and Taylor Vinson,
as we'll, and will leave MalcoIm Jack
son, Of Charleston, the only prominent
candidate. His appointment would stir
up a row in TIE Republican camp for
the reason that he is already credited
with having left the Democratic party
and Joined the Republicans for the
avowed purpose of getting on the fed
eral bench.

Special to the Register.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, February Is.
The widespread claim of the Republi-
cans that the present administration
has a surplus in the treasury is given
contradiction by Senator Davis. He
said to your correspondent to-day that
he had come here with the idea that
the appropriations for two years could
be safely put at twenty-four hundred
thousand dollars because they were al
most twenty-five hundred thousand two
years ago, and according to the treas
urer's report there was a surplus of
two hundred and twenty-eight thous-
and at the end of the last fiscal year.
But upon investigation, he says, he
found that there were warrants out
standing for all the money, leaving the
treasury bankrupt as oon as it cashed
up its obligations. The fact is Daw-
sons corporation law must furnish at
least three-quarters of a million reve-
nue. in the coming two years to keep
the treasury from showing a deficit.

SWISHER'S PURE FOOD BILL
Killed on Its Final Appearance in
the Senate-A Day of OratOry.


Special to the Register.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, February Is.
-Swisher's pure food bill furnished
the entertainment in the Senate to-
day and made 1t one of the liveliest of
the session. Senator Lanham made a
sensational speech concerning lobby
influences, which he said were being
exerted in favor of the bill. Senators
Whitaker and Price also opposed the
measure in strong speeches, while
Osenton, May and others as strongly
supported it.
1t was beaten by two majority on
final vote.
The ripper bills went to their third
reading in the Senate with flying coll
ors. The one referring to the univers-
ity was amended so that no regents
should be a citizen of Monongalia
county, but the whip lash made its ap-
pearance in the chamber a little later,
and after a few cracks the Republicans
who voted for the amendment got into
line, the vote was reconsidered and the
amendment defeated.
