SWATTEO AGAIN,

The republican regulars have been
swatted again. Out in the state OF
Washington, the habitat OF that EN-
inent representative OF regular Re
ppblicanism, Richard Achilles Balm
ger. there is an insurgent congress-
man named Miles Poindexter. He is
in fact the most radical OF all the
insurgents in congress. He had an
idea that he would like to go to the
senate. The regulars were aghast
at the prospect OF such an iconoclast
entering the senate. President Taft
sent members OF his own cabinet to
Washington to work against Poindex-
ter. The Republican primary was
held Tuesday. Poindexter won by
some forty thousand votes.
The people of Washington do not
believe in the principles OF the stand
pat Republicans, nor do the people Of
Maine, Of Wisconsin, Of Iowa, Of
Kansas-in fact 1t is difficult to name
single state in the union in which
the people-or even the Republicans
have endorsed the reactionary wing
OF the Republican party. AS the
Huntington Advertiser we'll says, ev-
cry congressional nominee OF the Re-
publican party in West Virginia is a
reactionary. The Republican candi-
date for the United States senate is
an earnest supporter of Aldrich. To
vote the Republican ticket in Novem-
Der. any citizen OF West Virginia must
endorse the principles OF "standpat-
ISM Aldrichism and Cannonism, and
must repudiate the progressive prin-
ciples that are being endorsed by
even the Republicans in other states.
The only alternative in West Virgin
Ia ziaszto vote the Democratic ticket.
That was the only alternative in
Maine. Who dares affirm that the
sane result will not be achieved in
West Virginia.

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE REVOLT

The Republican fight in New Hamp
shire was not on national politics. but
against corporate influences in state
affairs. Ire Lrogressives are opposed
to the continued control OF the Bos-
ton and Maine Railroad and the po'
litica oligarchy headed by Senator
Gallinger, VIZ was defeated in -,
own ward for delegate to the state
convention. The progressive New
Hampshire Republicans do not appear
to be opposed to Cannonism, for both
the present members OF Congress
were nominated; and they, as did the
United States Senators from that
state. voted all the time with Aldrich
and Cannon, and against the insur
gents. What effect this upset OF cor
poration influence and money will
have on the election in November ii
is too early to determine; but the
lack OF large campaign fund by the
Republicans will certainly give the
Democrats better chance OF sue
cess.

Woodrow Wilson, now president OF

most useful of all our college presi-
dents-a scholar. a student, a states.
or in books, but who uses his acquire
ments to lead for better public ideals
and better laws and better govern
ment. His books on government are
textbooks in our schools. his address
es have helped to stir the American
people to the sound insurgency that is
downing the party OF privilege, and
his leadership has made him a vital
power in the awakening of the ma
tional conscience. The New Jersey
Democrats have honored themselves,
won the respect of the whole country,
and taken a course that will attract

who suffer'-the educated and the
wise who are the victims OF the Re-
