Mr.. Watson's Qualifications

| In an interview which is published
| elsew here in this Issue OF the States
man Democrat, Hon. o. s. Mckinney
/ OF Falrmont, mentions The quaIfica-
lions OF Mr.C. w. Watson for the high
office of United States senator, for
which it is now well understood that
he is q candidate.
There are two considerations which
should influence Democratic members
Of the Legislature IN choosing repre-
sentative of West Virginia III the up
per house Of congress, fitness and par
~ service The first OF these of course
is the more i'm portant, for nc matter
how long an aspirant for the senator
ship may have been party worker,
no matter how many speeches he may
have maze or how much money he
may have contributed to political cam
paigns, ii he fails to measure up to the
requisite standard of character and
ability he should not be seriously con-
sidered.
Mr.. Watson is native of West Vir-
ginia, and bis career is an open book.
L he indomitable pluck and energy and
the business acumen which have en-
abled him to build up the big enter
prise of which he is at the head, which
has done SO much TO develop the re-
sources Of the state and TO furnish pro-
titable ployment for so many OF its
citizens, are qualities which il must be
conceded would prove very advantage
GUS to the interests OF West Virginia IL
Mr.. Watson were elected to the senate.
This reference il made TO Mr.. Wat
sons business qualifications because
the principal, il not the only objection
which The Register has heard to his
candidacy Is the fact that he is rich.
| Wealth should not be used as an argu-
ment either for or against candidate,
nor should poverty. Neither mistaken
sympathy for a candidate Who is with
out money nor unjust prejudice against
one who possesses it should influence
men in their choice of public servants.
The position that men who have
achieved success in business an d there
By become wealthy should for that rea.
son be debarred from public office 10
indefensuIe. 1t is proper to ascertain
whether wealth has been acquired law
fully and whether it is used honestly,
however, and Mr.. Mckinney believes
that Mr. Watson will stand that test.
This phase Of Mr.. Watson's career,
together with necessary qualifications
for the seratorship which he possesses,
and with which great many mem
bers-elect OF the legislature OF 1911 are
not familiar, largely because he has not
heretofore been candidate for public
office, are touched upon by Mr. Me
Kinney, and merit careful considera-
ton III connection with the choosing
Of successor TO senator colt.

WOMAN TESTIF|ES
FOR JAP MURDER
SUSPE ct
CorroborateS Story Told by
Prisoner That White Men
Slew Mrs, Catherine Wilson
in Denver,



Denver. Dec 6.-The defense rested
its case this afternoon in the trial of
Genkyo Mitsunaga for the murder Of
Mrs. Catharine Wilson and the prob
ability is the case will so to the jury
tomorrow night.
The feature today was the testimony
of Mrs Alice Parish. a neighbor Of
Mrs. Wilson. She testified to having
seen two white men enter the Will
son house on the afternoon of the
murder and a little later to have heard
a woman scream. She rushed out of
the house, she said, and shortly aft
erward two men came out Of the VIII
son home, and one of them threatened
her and caused her to re-enter her
own house. Seating herself at a vim
dow she saw man come to the front
door Of the Wilson home and push a
japanese boy out and motion him to
walk down the street. The boy. as he
came out, was counting roll of
money, Mrs Parish said.
Under District Attorney Elliotts
ss-eXamination, Mrs. Parish seemed
to lose control of herself, rambled in
her statements and became hysterical.
She finally became so incoherent in
her statements that the district at
torney began an inquiry into her
mental condition. despite the objec
tions of Attorney Hilton for the de-
fensc, which We're overruled by the
court. Mrs. Farishs denials to ques-
tions at times took the form of
shrieks 1t was sought to show that
she had at one time been treated for

time OF some occurrences, Mrs. Far

Washington, Dec. 6.-The provi-
sional arrest OF Juan Sanchez Azcona,
once a member of the Mexican con-
gress, Journalist. and a member of
prominent family in Mexico, was pro-
cured here today by direction of the
department of justice on representa-
tons made by the Mexican govern
ment, declaring that a warrant on the
charge Of obtaining money under false
pretenses had been issued for him in
Mexico.
No political significance. it was
said at the Mexican embassy, attaches
to the arrest, but Gustavo A. Madero,
supported by other friends of Azcona
here charged that the circumstances
of the case are trivial and that be
hind il all is the vengeful purpose of
the Diaz administration to get pos
session of Azcona because of his con-
nection with an antiDiaz newspaper
attacks during the last three years.
He is son of the late Senior Azcona.
former Mexican minister to Italy,
Guatemala and the Argentine republic.
He came here November II from San
Antonio, Texas, where his consulta-
tions with Francisco p. Madero. leader
Of the Mexican rawniUtion, were an
open secret He has been associated
here with Gustavo A. Madero, a
brother OF the revolutionist leader.
Azcona said that the incident in
which charges have been preferred
against him occurred four years ago
and that his part in the affair was
merely as witness. He said that while

he said, charged the money has been
diverted from the original purpose Of
the donors.
Azcona declared that after due
judicial investigation, in which he APP
peared as a Witness, the case was
dropped.
Later, he said, he founded "Nuevo
Mexico" and began series of attacks
on the Diaz administration which
caused it's suppression three times and
finally its confscation six months ago.
He, as its editor was compelled to
leave the country. He said he would

A situation has developed almost
