NOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR.
Dawson Defeated Teter at Wheeling by
Vote Of 463 to 331.

A dispatch from Wheeling. w. Va. last
night says: The West Virginia republican
state convention tonight nominated w. M.
o. Dawson Of Kanawha county for COVER
nor after being in session from the opening
of the convention at noon with only a fifty
minute recess. The Dawson forces con-
trolled things from the-start and defeated
the supporters of Charles F. Teter of Bar
bour at every turn. The nomination was
made at 10 O'Clock. and the convention ad-
journed until tomorrow at II o'clock. when
it will go at the rest Of the ticket.
On the roll call for governor Dawson re-
ceved 1853 votes and Teter 331. Representa-
tive Dayton moved to make 1t unanimous
before the result was announced after
which Teter pledged his support to Dawson
The convention opened at noon with Sen
ator Stephen B. Elkins as temporary chair
man and j. H. Hiniger of Richie secretary,
and this organization made permanent.
Senator Elkins in his speech, pleaded for
harmony. and his address was well re-
ceved- The senator. however, is tonight
charged by the Teter people with contribut-
Ing to Dawson's nomination.
Senator Charles Caldwell. the last speaker
before the vote the gOvernorship was
taken. declared that no OIL man In the state
would support Dawson because of his tax
reform views. There were yelIs of ''B. &
o. voicing the charge that this railroad
had taken an active part in the fight against
Dawson.
w. P. Hubbard of Wheeling, president of
the state tax commission, led the Dawson
fight on the floor. Taylor Vfnson of Cabell
county was the Teter leader. but his county
voted the unit rule for Dawson. and he
could speak for Teter but not vote for him.
Dawson was nominated by former Gov.
G. w. Atkinson and Representative Dayton
nominated Teter.
Delicate points of order were involved
by the abolition of the committee on Gre
dentias, and the Teter men made des-
perate but futile struggle to have the con-
vention investigate alleged fraud in elect
ing the Dawson delegation from the nomi-
nee's own county.
Charles Swisher will probably be named
for secretary of state and Clark w. Mary
for attorney general. both being said to
have Senator Elkins' support. Arnold
Scherr will certainly be renamed for au-
