THE voters of the second West Virginia
district have great opportunity to join
in the movement now sweeping over this
country that seeks to rescue Congress
from the corporate influences that have
so long dominated national legislation
and from the group OF politicians that
have served the corporations and monop-
olies so well and the interests OF the
masses so i'll. The opportunity lies in
electing to Congress Hon. VIM. u. Brown,
the Democratic nominee, instead OF Hon.
George c. Smrgiss, the Republican can
didate.
The Register has no personal fault to
find with Mr.. Sturgiss, who is a gentle
man OF character and business man OF
ability. We simply believe that the in
terests of the people demand change
that he is no longer in a position where
he can be OF service, even. if he desired
to be. AS pronounced standpatter, he
has been so closely allied with Speaker
Cannon and purely partisan legislation
that he cannot be expected to show that
independence which will be require
ment in the next Congress of those who
would serve the public. Mr.. Sturgiss
has had fair chance. II is not apparent
that he has done anything more than DRIFT
along with a pernicious majority, nor is
there any indication that he would do
otherwise if he were to have another
term. The people of this district should
not any longer be satisfied with such rep
reSentation.
One OF the things demanded by the
people OF this country is revision OF the
present infamous tariff law. Mr.. Brown
would most certainly be in sympathy with
this work Mr.. Sturgiss would not, be-
cause, as supporter and endorser OF the
law, he is not likely to stultify himself by
condemning it, The people have had
enough of this thing of revising the tariff
by its friends.
We earnestly urge the people OF the sec
ond district to support the coming reform
legislation by electing Mr.. Brown to Con-
greSS.

THE result of the primary elections in
the State of Washington is remarkable
victory for the insurgents, or progresSiveS.
Miles Poindexter was nominated for the
Senate by about 10000 plurality over the
administration candidate, and incidentally
Secretary Ballinger gets the blacklist sort
of black eye, for his own State repudi-
ates him entirely. Poindexter made his
campaign on platform in opposition to
Secretary Ballinger's policies, and though
the latter, backed by President Taft, made
very bitter fight against him, Poindex-
ter carried the State by Tremendous ma
jority.
And still Secretary Ballinger hasn't re-
signed.

THE railroads OF the country are trying
10 show the Interstate Commerce Com
mission that they have justification for
their proposed increase in freight rates.
but so far they have not done much con-
vincing along this line. They cannot,
for as a matter of fact the present rates
are ample TO pay reasonable dividends il
the companies are managed with anything
like ordinary ability or honesty. When
graft and stealing are cut out, the reve-
nues will be found ample for all purposes.
The people should not be taxed to pay
for dishonesty and incapacity.

SOME of the friends Of Congressman
Sturgiss, in giving reasons why he should
be returned for another, term, say that he
is a poor man and needs The office. This
is an utter abSurdity and Can certainly
have no force as campaign argument
when presented to sensible persons. Ii
Mr.. Sturgiss's friends can advance no
better argument for his re- ELECTION, he
will certainly be left at home.
Besides, we understand that he is not
poor man, by any means. He is reputed,
on the contrary, to be very ricy.
