Daily new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1897-1906, 1902-09-06


region that would be an oasis In the
garden spot of the world, that comes
the man, who by adoption has become
citizen of Monongalia, and who is
destined to lead our forces to victory
and bring the children of Democracy
of the Third district into the prom
Used land, which as yet they have only
beheld from afaF. If we had at our
command all the eloquence that has
ever characterized the most eloquent
sons OF our flIustrious country we
could but poorly describe the virtues
Of the man whose name we are about
to present. But thanks to his popu-
larity, our task is easy, for he is known
and loved by every member of this
convention. And you all know before
you are told that we refer to Mr..
Howard L. Swisher, but he protests
that he is not related to Charley; but he
deposes and says, that II nominated, he
4oiU defeat Charley.
Mr.. Swisher comes from that hardy
and sturdy class known as the COM
mon people, and from the people whom
God so loved that he gave to their
countless throng the length and
breadth of all the land. Mr.. Swisher
is not only poet who has written
verses that touch all the chords OF
sympathy of the human heart and
whose music makes life's monotony
break forth into gladdened song; he is
not only a journalist, and snort
story writer, who weaves facts and
fiction together with such a fine and
delicate web that you cannot discover
the line of demarcation; he is not only
an up-to-date business man who has
by the application of his own lone
brain and brawh placed himself be-
yond the pale of want; he Is also a
statesman, who is more devoted to
the interests of the people than he is
to party corruption; he is man
whose feet are guided by the princi-
pies of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence and circumscribed by the Con
stitution of the United States: zone
that nature may hold up and say to
all the world, this is man" one who
will fight so fierce battle and prose
cute so yigorouf campaign that our
opponents will find shelter only in de-
feat. | now formally place in nomin-
alton the name of fll SwiSher, trust
ing that his choice will be made unan-
imous, that he may thereby go forth
with all the courage and inspiration
in his heart that he so richly deserves,
in order to make his election a GER
tainty, and our opponents defeat a
matter beyond probability. rms
matter is now in your hands, gentle
men of the convention, and II you
nominate this man, when the returns
are in, and the votes have been count
ed, be assured that you will have one
sentiment, and only one, and that Will
be: "Well done, thou good and faith.
| full servant: thou hast been faithful
over all things entrusted TO thy care,
and thou shalt wear the victor s
crown
