OLD MARSHALL
is FOR SWISHER
Chairman of the County Com
mittee Says County Win
Support swisher.
WHEELING PAPER WRONG
Says the County Chairman in
Discussing the Situation
in Marshall County.

Since the Wheeling Intelligencer went
over Into the Democratic camp its in.
nuencc even near home IS fast waning
No better evidence OF this need be given
than comes directly from Marshall
county. The Intelligencer either does
not know the actual situation in Mar
shall county or is Intentionally trying
to deceive its readers.
The chairman of the county commit
tee Of tat county is far better author
lily on the subject than is the Intelligent
cor and all know he is in far better posi-
ton TO know the conditions there.
j. j. Summons is the county chairman
Of that county and he writes:
AS chairman of the Marshall county
executive committee I wish TO state that
this county has not Endorsed Scherr for
governor as the Intelligcncer stated.
Neither will 1t do so.
This county is all right for Swlsher
and am glad to report that many OF
Scherrs warm supporters are changing
their minds and believe tnat when the
time comes to vote that Swisher will
lose but few Republican votes in this
county"
What Mr.. Sammons says is especially
significant because of the fact that
Scherr carried the county in the pre-
lIminary contest over William II.
lIcarne, Swishcr not entering the race.
The county was loyal to scherr, when
lie was a Republican. but since he has
strayed fro mthe party and become ale
head of a new party, which is doing all
in It's power to turn the state over to
the Democrats. loyal old Marshall calls
a halt and declares 1t will have none of
that Marshall county is going to be
true and all the Intelligencer can do will
not turn it from the straight path of
Republicanism.

The Logan County Convention
Strongly Endorses Regu-
lar State Ticket.
NICHOLAS IS FOR sWlsHER
Too, Writes the Secretary Of
the County Committee to
Chairman Matthews.

State Chairman S. V, Matthews of tho
Republican state committee is receiving
daily news from the various counties of
the state. which indicate to an absolute
ertainty the rapid capitalization of SON
timent around the candidacy of Hon.
Charles W. Swisher for governor. Let
tiers are being sent into headquarters
from reliable sources fully establishing
the conditions as they exist and showing
conclusively the fact that the Republic
can ticket is growing In strength every
day and predicting a complete Republic
can victory at the polls this Fall.
As theNcounties hold conventions re-
ports come of the, official action taken
and in most instances strong indorse-
ments of the regular Republican ticket.
headed by Mr.. Swisher for governor. are
adopted.
A late letter received by Chairman
Matthews Is from ex-state Senator B.
o. Holland, of Logan county, now chair
man of the Republican county commit
tee of that county. and reports tho nc
ton of the county convention at Logan
last Saturday.
Chairman Holland says: 1--WE held our
county convention last Saturday and had
a fine. enthusiastic convention. We In
dorsed the candidacy of Hon. c. W.
Swisher in no uncertain tones. There
is but one scherr man in Logan county"
Another letter is by James j. Dotson,
secretary Of the Republican county exec
utive committee of Nicholas county. In
Mr.. oDtson's letter are found words.
which STAN pas false n recent publica-
ton here thar Nicholas county Repub-.
licans were not for Swisher.
Mr.. Dotson writes: AT our. county
nominating convention by unanimous
vote We passed resolutions indorsing
Hon. c. w. Swisher for governor to-
sether with the entire state ticket. We
stand ready to cooperate with you in
working for the election OF our entire
state ticket"
Such letters as these are evidences
amply sufficient to show that the Repub-
licans in the many counties of this state
are not In sympathy with the scherr bolt
and that they will be found all solidiy
lined up for the swisIier ticket and tho
Republican party at the polls this fall.
The action of the counties In adopt
Ing resolutions indorsing Mr.. swIsher
and the entire state ticket shows the ut
ter fallacy of the claims the scherr sub
sidized newspapers arc making and ex-
plodes to the conviction of all the de-
ceptive methods they are using.

All Over the State.

Hon. Charles W. Swisher, Republican
nominee for governor. when seen at Re-
publican state headquarters this morn
Ing In response to an inquiry, smilingly
said: II never felt better in my life"
AS stated In Tuesdays Telegram Gov
ernor Swisher arrived here in the after
noon from Charleston. whittier he had
returned the first OF the week from Hot
Syringe, and las been quite busy since
looking over and arranging preliminary
work for the campaign. which Will
shortly be in fun swing. Busy with. this
line of work lie had but little time for
an interview but kindly consented. as Is
his nature to favor the Telegram read
ers with a few words of encouragement
Il am daily in receipt-of numerous let
tiers from all over the state said Mr.
Swisher. which bring much assurance
and announcement. These letters con-
tain not only strong personal promises
and pledges but also splendid assurances
of the loyal sentiment toward the state
ticket existing in the sections from
which they are sent They are replete
with expressions of the loyalty of the
rank and file of the party to our ticket.
of course. Immediately after the
Charleston convention there was more
or less difference of opinion as to con-
ditions in various parts of the state.
but l find that every thing Is getting
better daily and the Republican voters
are lining up in a most gratifying man
ner for the regular ticket. Conditions,
believe, are improving rapidly. and, I
feel, along with many of my enthusiastic
friends, though conservative in the sur
vey of conditions that the State will
give Mr.. Taft and the state ticket ma
pority equal in proportion to population
to that given by any other state in the
Union.p
Governor Swisher will be here most of
the time until the speaking campaign
opens, making this, his headquarters hut
going in and out to nearby towns as the
campaign demands.

LEST YOU FORGET::-

In all the pickering over cleo
ton frauds, and the growlings of
party wrath or thedeadly quies-
cence of party Indifference, the
voter must not forget that i'm
portant amendments are to be
voted upon at the general cleo
ton.
Waving the amendments 2, 3,
and 4 which, though meritorious
in text, are likely to be of doubt
full status in law, and will only
result in litigation, there can be
no doubt that Amendment No. l,
consolidating the Offices of seven
tax collectors in New Orleans
into one carrying a salary OF
$4,000 only, with all fees payable
into the state treasury; and
Amendment No. 5, fixing the
salary of the Secretary of State
at S., 900 and prohibiting his &C
ceptance of any fees or perqul-
sites, are measures which should
receive public support. These
make for economy of administra-
ton and every man, who pays
taxes. must feel it to his interest
to vote for these amendments.
Indeed he should feel it his
bounden duty to do so, as every
vote which the ward bosses Cal
muster will be cast against thes
amendments, and only by hi
personal vote can he protec
those interests.
: Let nothing keep you from th
: polls to vote for Amendments
and 5. Their defeat means ne
( life to the Siamese twins of hos
( rule.
