Charles L. Swisher, of Fairmont, was
in the city to attend the meeting OF
Mystic Shriners, and will depart for
his home to-day. Mr.. Swisher is one of
the most active and energetic of the
candidates for the Republican nomina
ton for Auditor, and 1t will not be
surprising if he snatches the plum from
those who have been longer in the race
and who regard their chances as much
brighter. Mr. Swisher was sergeant
alarms of the State Senate at the last
session of the Legislature, and his posi-
ton brought him into contact with
political leaders of both parties, who
will recognize his fitness for the place,
and many of whom are openly favoring
his candidacy.
Il am in the race for Auditor" he
said to Register reporter last night,
land | am in to win" Beyond this he
was non-committal, but one of his
friends remarked that Marion county
will stand with Swisher first, last and
all the time, and that his candidacy has
been encouraged from all sections of
the State.

To, Ia % t1a
He was not cognizant of any effort on
the part of his brother to secure the
nomination for Auditor, but if Lloyd
Smith enters the race he felt that he
could promise him the support of Tyler
and Wetzel. He was confident that if
Ohio county failed to present candi-
date, Lloyd Smith would be the choice
of the Ohio county delegation. Mr.
Smith also stated that if Tyler county
had no candidate the county would
support Mr. Joseph Handlan, of this
city.
