DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS.

The prospects of electing Demo
cratic Congress never seemed
brighter. There is disruption in the
Republican party in practically every
district represented by Republican.
The old leaders are alarmed over the
lnsurSent movement that seems to
divide the party into almost two
equal parts. There is nothing that
will draw them together, because
they have opposite views. On the
one side, We have the Republican
doctrine of CannoniSm and Aldrich-
ism, who represent the protected
interests, and on the other side,
we have the doctrine taught bv La
Toilet and Bevcridse, Who represent
the people, and who favor reduc-
ton Of the tariff laws for the benefit
Of the whole people. The last men
toned doctrine is almost in line with
the views Of the Democratic party,
and is much to be preferred to the
doctrine as taught by the stand
patters.
In the 6lst Congress, Cannon had
no more loyal supporter than James
4. Hughes, Of the Fifth Congress
sional District ofWest Virginia, who
has been re-nominated by the Re-
publican party, who is stand pat
ter, and if reelected will be in
favor Of Cannon as Speaker of the
House Of Representatives, as Cannon
has already announced that he would
be candidate for said position.
Those who favor laws for the benefit
of all the people have nothing to
hope for from Jim Hughes, because
The Point Pleasant register. [volume] (Point Pleasant, W. Va.) 1909-1939, 1910-08-03

he simply does what the stand pat
tiers" want him to do. His record
discloses that he voted with them.
The Insurgents have strong fol-
lowing in the Fifth Congressional
District, and if they remain faithful
to their belief this following will
necessarily go to the Honorable
Rankin Wiley, the Democratic NOM
inee, who is opposing Jim Hughes.
If elected, Mr.. Wiley viii favor re-
duction of the tariff, and he will be
in favor of the laws that will bene-
fit all the people.
When you think about it, what is
there to cause anyone to vote for
Hughes. Mr.. Hughes has done
nothing for the great majority of the
people OF MS district, he IS IN favor
Of Cannonism and Aldrichism, and
that alone ought to cause his defeat.
Mr.. Wiley IS recognized as man
Of ability and capable Of doing some
thing that viii inure to the benefit
Of all the people: and the Democrats
of this district owe it to themselves
to stand Loyalty by Mr.. Wiley, and
with the help that he receives from
the Republicans VINO are opposed to
Cannonism, there is no reason why
he should not be elected.

COUNTY CONVENTION.

1t is not the policy of this paper
to favor one candidate over another,
when there IS any contest for an Of
fee, but it is our desire to try and
have as much harmony within the
Democratic party as it is possible 10
have. When the County Conven-
ton meets here, every delegate Sc
lected should come with the idea
of selecting the very best material
possible. The Democrats want as
candidates, safe, conservative men,
who can be relied upon to do what
is right and proper. We want to
see harmony, and We want to see a
ticket that every Democrat in the
County will support. There is no
reason why such ticket cannot be
selected, and we believe it viii be.

SOME idea of the remarkable in
crease of population in the southern
and southwestern states the past de-
cade is to be gained from the census
bureaus announcement as to Okla
homa City. The census just taken
shows population of o., eos, an in
crease of 81, los since 1900, and an
increase of Sl,75S since 1907, when
special census showed S2,452.
The ratio of increase in three years
is 81 s per cent, and for the ten
years since the last previous census
it is nearly $40 per cent.

MINNESOTA IN LINE.

Minnesota Democrats have put up
candidate for governor who will
prove a worthy successor to the gall
ant SwediSh-American who 50 ably
and fcarlessly filled the executive
chair of that state. Before the con
vention there was much discussion as
to the possibility of securing can
didate who could develop the strength
of the late Gov. johnson, necessary
to win in that strongly Republican
state. John Lind, former COVER
nor of the commonwealth, and one
of its best Democrats, was selected,
despite his refusal to be candidate,
and it is altogether probable that
public interest may induce him to
accept. While in Office he made a
splendid record for economy and
careful business administration. He
represented the people and stood a
bulwark against the special interests
and vensl politicians. Like Harmon
in Ohio, he ought to sweep the state.
Minnesota Republicans are insurgent.
They are opposed to the present in
iquitouS tariff. While they do not
openly repudiate the Taft admins
tration they are clearly disappointed
with it. They looked for strong
man in him, who would carry out the
policies and pledges of the national
Republican platform, who would IN
sist on revision of the tariff down
ward, as their interests required.
Instead, they found him weak, play
ing into the hands of the Payne
Aldrich crowd, against whom they
are bitterly opposed. They will not
stand for the regulars, for the stand
pattcrs. These circumstances, to-
sether with Lind's proved political
probity and popularity, ought to in
sure the election Of an increased
Democratic congressional representa-
ton as well AS state success.
Incidentally, it was Democratic
state convention. There were no
bosses, no machine, no made to or
der slate to be voted for by lot
Of automatons. The delegates had
a red hot time of it, they threshed
their differences out on the floor to
the last minute, and their preference
declared, they will be unit in sup
port of the ticket. The sight of
such convention would give GuFey
the willies and make Penrose shut
himself up in a padded cell.

THERE is little doubt that the
king accession declaration bill, just
passed second reading By the House
of Commons by comfortable maj
oritr, will soon become law. 1t
will have little opposition in the
House of Lords. As it now stands
the bill eliminates the pronounce
ment against Catholicism and the de-
claration Il am faithful protest
ant" is substituted. The anti-Cath-
lie declaration has long been a dead
letter, but its elimination from the
oath is but justice to EnSlishmen in
this age of freedom ofconscience and
religious liberty.

The man who gave its name to
the Republican party is dead.
Zephaniah B. Knight was born in
Pennsylvania, removed to Michigan
in 1850 and was member Of the
committee on resolutions of the
state convention held at Jackson,
Mich, July 6, 1854. In committee
there was long and acrimonious de-
bate on the name that should be
given to the new party. Mr.. KniSh,
suggested the name Republican. II
was quickly agreed to BY the COM
mittee and then reported to the
convention and adopted without a
dissenting voice. Mr.. knight was
SO years old at his death. He had
