1t is dying hope the Parkersburg
Dispatch-News crowd has OF making
the people of the state believe that
Isaac T. Mann. OF Mcdowell county,
seeks. Senator SCOTS shoes, but that

But, such an effort will have no
effect except 10 make stronger SEN
.timents for swisher. 1t is based on
an absurdity to begin with, as the
Swisher forces are all Senator SCOTS
friends and NIL for his reelection.
Mr.. Mann himself as previously stat
ed by the Telegram has given Senator
Scott personally assurances Of heart
lest support and he is known to be
one of SCOTS best and strongest sup
porters.
Even, IL that were not true, and 1t
were accepted that Mann seeks the
relationship. the Dispatch News is I'M

ConIey's Annoint,nent

In a brief interview after anhouac-
ing the appointment OF william g.,
conley. OF Klngwood, as attorney
general Of the state to succeed Clark
w, May, who died two weeks ago at
Hamlin from Injuries sustained In a
runaway, Governor Dawson stated
that the appointment was made at
this time because of the status OF the
Virginia debt suit in the United.
States supreme court. with the APP
polntment OF master to take testi-
mony and to make up an account be-
tween the two states, it was neces-
sary to have a legal head of the state,
the court having ruled that all pro-
cesses should be served ON the at
torney generals OF the respective
states and the Governor said it was
not practicable to wait until the state
convention in July had nominated a
candidate, though II the appointment
could have been held on until then,
he would have appointed the nomi-
nee of the convention.
Governor Dawson further stated
that while the state had an able
corps of attorneys in the case vet the
attorney general was the head OF The
states legal representatives and the
other attorneys in the suit his as
sistants.
The reasons given by Governor
Dawson for making the appointment
at this time are certainly sufficient
to warrant his action, as the urgency
of the appointment is readily SEEN, 4
In the selection of Mr.. Conley,
while the Telegram would not speak
disparagiugly of other men, who may
be seeking the office by nomination
and election, Governor Dawson has
chosen wisely. AS Governor Daw-
son said in the interview, he has
known Mr.. Conley from boyhood, is
familiar with his private and profess
sionai life and recognizes in him a
gentleman worthy of the position
and one who will discharge its duties
ably, conscientiously and to the well
fare Of the people of the state.
What bearing. II any, the action of
Governor Dawson in this on the mat
ter Of nomination for the place at
the Charleston convention will
have remains TO be seen.
Should Mr.. Conley be nam
ed and elected, his appointment at
this time will have fitted him that
much better to assume the duties or
the Office for the next term, hut,
should the convention not nominate
him, he will at the end OF the pres
ent term have rendered the state al
service needed and can and will re-
tire with the affairs of the office in
actively fine shape for his successor

nomination and make a fight for the
station as governor of this state, yet
It seems unwise that his party shoui /
seek to bestow upon one OF their
own committeeman this nomination,
Mr. Mills being the chairman OF the
state committee. It would ceem u
partake of the nature OF Democrat
&c star chamber affair to give Mr..
Mills this nomination.
This party, in order to obtain any
thing, must necessarily reach out
beyond their committee room. Sure
ly there are other strong mea out
side the confines Of the state COM
niittee who are qualified to make
this race. Why not cast about for
new material now and then? They
must branch out and ;e. the COM
mon mea:bers Of their party name

Mr.. Sutton, we are informed,
would make an ideal candidate for
governor, and is the choice Of a
great majority of his party. He is
energetic and capable and would
put fresh vim and impetus into the
life of the party. There are. IF
course. other who might seek this
who are equally worthy.
At all events many members OF the
Prohibition party are insisting that
1t be wis in the selection of candi-
date for governor as well as the eth
er Offices to be FLIED. IL they would
succeed in their cause.
