A Test Coming Soon.

The death OF William G. Brown,
Democratic congressman from the
Second West Virginia district, means
that special election will soon be
held to fill the vacancy. Mr. Brown
had been elected three times, succeed
ing a Republican at the election Of 1910
by a plurality of little less than 1000,
and winning his third term, two years
ago, by margin of Slightly more than
1900.
West Virginia is state where the
policies of the present administration
have had 4 peculiarly ,ethal effect
upon industry. and the forthcoming
election in Mr.. Browns district will
afford a fairly good test of the temper
Of the voters toward Democracy in
general. West Virginia Republicans
feel certain that they will regain the
district, which was once represented by
Judge Dayton Of the Federal court
and the outcome should be looked up
on as svmptomatic OF what is to hap
pen everywhere in November

Editorial Comment
70 the Progressive Party Financially
Embarrassed?
(Rumford Falls Times.)

(Rumford Falls Times.)
This week, we received a big fat
envelope. with a two-cent due stamp
on it. Feeling that it would prove to
be something very important, we at
once paid the postage due. On OPEN
ing the envelope we found that We
had paid two cents for several pages
of literature sent out from the head
quarters Of the Progressive State
Committee, Portland.
1t is said that straws show which
way the wind blows and we feel that
the person who mailed the literature
must have known that it would re-
quire more than tWo-cent stamp.
Therefore. we feel that the Progressive
State Committee forced US to contrib.
ute two cents to the Progressive cause.
OF course. the two cents wouldn't
amount to much to the party. but II
hundreds Of such letters were sent out,
the total amount of due postage paid
by the recipients would amount to
something. We would have rather
contributed Z dollar to tho party than
to have been buncoed out Of a two-
cent postage stamp.

very proud of it, anyway.
