n WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S. - When

Gessner Writes of Things Political While
Prominent Republicans Were in Town

given message or two as to when
he should meet with the chief boomers
Of c. Wesley. The good governor took
care to keep moving during the day.
He got to Elkins early and talked It
over with the senator at the banking
office OF the eminent statesman. Mr..
Elkins took pains to stay away from
the Willard, where the Swisher boom.
ers and the doomed one, were holding
forth. They had taken pains to get a
good room directly over the quarters
OF Senator Scott. but care was also
taken not to register.
There was nothing gained by this
fattempt at mystery, but 1t may have
looked slick TO the wise ones who feel
that they are picking out State ticket
for West Virginia Republicans to en-.
dorse at the convention of'next year.
During the day when there was a
slackness in the proceedings, Swisher
came to the office and admitted with
that well known Swlsherlan smile, that
he was sure Of being the nominee for
governor. This is an old story and
those who heard him thought better
OF his announcement for the reason
that he did not bring that old and
withered tale about his having been q
poor boy who had to work so hard In
order to grow up into a great and good
man. For this relief much thanks.
Swisher was very intent on having a
heart to heart talk with Elkins and the
confidence displayed by Swisher after
the confab with the senator leads to
the Inference that Elkins continues
very friendly to the Swisher ambition.
1t was noted that the men around
swisher during his visit are from the
northern part Of the State yet swisher
declared that he felt very confident
about his sNprospects in the Hughes con.
gresslonal district. When reference
was made to the declaration OF several
eminent Fifth district men that
swlsher would not get a vote in that
territory, swisher only smiled: His
smile was broader when he was asked
about the sudden ambition Of the Hon.

ed that all the Republican congress-
men from West Virginia were stand

there was response that Tafts tar

ginians. Rather the governor thought
the Republicans OF his State and many
other States would insist on tariff re-
vision after the Presidential election.
In n very few words the governor In
dicated that tariff revision was bound
to come but that 1t must be accom-.

Governor Dawson is an admlrer Of
Mr.. Roosevelt and insisted that the
President would be the most popular

run. In that case no other namn
would go before the convention. With
Roosevelt actually out Of It, the COVER

man for the Republican party.
When asked about Cortelyou, the
governor made the remark that the

Cortelyou had made mighty good I'm.
preston upon West vlrgInians, espe-
cially at the dedication Of the coal col.

arise calling for some one other than
