The insinus,ion that Mr.. Swssey Is
any part Of q political ring" is only
ridiculous 70 those who know him aud
have observed his course In politics-in-
dependent In the true sense, and free
from entanglements OF any sort.
According 20 present indications, two
OF the congressional csndidates-Hon.
Gen. HYDE OF Sagadahoc County-vill
have the solid vote OF their own county
10 the convention. No other candidate
will receive the undivided support Of his
own county.
Mr.. Swssey has made IL rule OF his
practice AT the bar that he would not
appear In behalf OF rumseller; and
though, oy making occasional exceptions
70 that rule he might have secured con-
siderable revenue without ipjuring his
standing In the least in the estimation OF
the strictest morzlist, he has adhered "a
IL absolutely, even In cases where II cost
him more than the loss Of fee 20 refuse.
He has also recently stated 70 jury that
he had never argued the cause OF al sc-
cused person whom he believed TO %
guilty. Such statement might De re-
gsrded by some as made for rhetorical
effect" but those who have watched Mr..
Swssey's career AZ the bar will not for 5
moment question H. Hypocrisy Is for
eign 20 his nature, and earnestness and
sincerity characterize his conduct Of al
causes Of which he takes charge. That
Is one powerful reason for the success
he has attained as an sdvocste. As the
representative OF this district In congress
be would manifest the same eArnestness,
sincerity and industry which he hss
shown In his practice AZ the bar.
