SCHERR FOR GOVERNOR
MOST cREDITAHLE STANDING AT
HOME.
His Home County Gives Him Hearty
Endorsement For the Republican
Nomination.

w. Swisher, at the primary election
held April 121, at which time no other
name than his appeared on the ticket
over 1000 of the very best element of
the party refused to vote for Mr..
Swisher and cut his name off the
ticket. Monongalia county, adjoining
Marion and part of the same senator
ial district, the vote in the primary
was Scherr 2935, Swisher 1870. In Tay-
Tor county, also adjoining and part OF
the same senatorial district, Mr..
Swisher did not get delegate. That
is how Mr. Swisher stands at home.
How Mr.. Scherr stands in his own
county is shown by the following
resolutions adopted by the Mineral
county republican convention, April
IS, 1908.
The following resolutions were Of
fered and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, by the republican party
of Mineral county, in convention as
SAMPLED, that the republican party of
Mineral county presents to the state
republican convention her distinguish

1--WE know him, and from our hearts
proclaim him clean, able and honest.
We endorse his candidacy because We
have watched his career and without
dissenting voice we unite in saying
that all the qualifications necessary
for the high Office to which he aspires
are possessed by him. For more than
forty years he has lived among us
and among our neighbors in Grant
county Even before he reached his
majority he was found working for his
fellow-men, and to advance the prin-
ciples of the republican party.
His labors in behalf of the success
of that party have been untiring. He
has generously given his time, means
and energy at the call of his friends
and of his party and in his devotion to
their interests has never wavered or
complained. His official career as
sheriff, as legislator and as auditor of
the state is without one blemish.
The Best Auditor.
"As auditor, with practically the

his direction, it is declared by friend
and foe alike that he has made the
best auditor West Virginia has ever
had, and this can be said without dis
paragement to any of the prominent
men who have held that position.
His moral character is pure and
without reproach. His private and
family life is pattern for every
home, an example for our children
and, held in the white light of publici-
ty, will be found without spot or
blemish His long business and pub
lie career, his wide acquaintance with
men and affairs, his matured Judgment
and recognized wise counsels make
him eminently qualified to fill the
gubernatorial chair.
Has No Weakness.
"The people everywhere know him
and their confidence In his integrity,
ability and craftsmanship will make
him a most formidable candidate, and
one in whose armor our friends, the
enemy, will find no weak spot
Arnold Scherr is prudent. cautious
and fearless; he is temperate. and the
spirit with which he approaches the
position which he seeks is one of num-
Bile and serious recognition of the
grave and momentous responsibility
of that high Office, and we call to wit
ness every man in West Virginia to-
day. who has become prominent in the
affairs of the republican party, that
they have never found Arnold Scherr
unwilling to do his utmost for the
right, and ever daring to refrain from
anything that had even the appear
anc of being for the benefit of the
few, in preference to the advance
ment of the many.
Living with him, breathing the air
he breathes loving the friends he
loves and with the most profound de-
votion to the party and the party's in
terests, which he represents, we ask
consideration of the delegates to the
convention for the claims If Arnold
Echerr and the delegates elected to
the state convention from Mineral
county are hereby instructed to vote
for Arnold Scherr as the republican
candidate for governor until he is
nominated, and they are requested to
spare no time or energy in securing
his nomination by all proper means.
