Sherman and Glasscock and Reed, al
the top 81 It's editorial column and Il
taking pleasure IN reproducing on the
same page editorial articles about Mr..
Glasscoels and me closing OF the par
" rupture that have been and are be.
ing published in the Republican
newspapefs Of the state.
1t is a noteworthy fact, In this
connection, that ali Of the Republi.
can newspapers In the state that have
commented upon Mr.. Glasscock have
only words Of the highest praise fol
him and his qualities as courage
ous, upright. honest, capable man
who will I'LL the office of governor
with the utmost efficiency and salts
faction if he is elected, which UNI
doubtedly he win be.
The Parkersbnrg Dispatch-News
one of the strong scherr supporters,
Is in line with the full Republican
ticket headed by Mr.. Glasscock at the
top of the editorial column. OF Mr..
dlasscock, that paper says:
He has been an active Republican
for years, is capable, and II elected
governor would prove to be as effie-
lent an executive. as any Republican
administration the state has had in
recent years"
Among the most ardent support
ers of the Scherr cause was the Nor
gantown Post-Chronicle, which was
regarded as the official organ OF
Chairman E. NJ. Grsat, of the Lin
colnites, which paper declares itself
for the one Republican party and Its
standard-bearer in the state, Mr..
Glasscock. After announcing its
stand. the Chronicle concludes:
"The Post-chronicle calls upon the
thoughtful Republicans OF Monon-
gala, regardless of personal consid-
erations and differences, to rally to
the support of the only Republican
ticket that will be found on the offic-
ial ballot in November. = Let there be
no Swisher men and no scherr men
from now till November third-just
Republicans.
"The Post-Chronicle will endeavor
to set forth from time to time some
of the reasons why Monongalia Re-
publicans should support the party
ticket, and its columns will ever be
open to a faiL and temperate discus
sion of all sides of all political ques-
lions. So here goes for rafting
fight to keep West Virginia in the
Republican column and to disap-
point the radiant hopes Of Bryan
ISM"
The Grafton Sentinel, perhaps the
only Republican newspaper in the
stale that did not take up for either
Mr.. Swisher or Mr.. Scherr, tumbles
into the band wagon for the united
Republican ticket and says:
IF there be nothing more to con-
slider in the nomination than the one
question of fitness and personality of
! the candidate for governor named at
an early hour this morning by the
state committee at Charleston, there
should be no reason in the world why
every Republican in the state could
not willingly and enthusiastically en-
dorse the nominee. Mr.. Glasscock
is man OF brains and. from most
any standpoint would be considered
splendid candidate for governor.
He is clean and able gentleman.
He is highly respected and regarded
in his home county, where he has sue
cessfully practiced law for many
years. Mr.. Glasscock has a DISPOSE
ton to be perfectly fair in his atti-
tude toward the opposing element OF
the party"
Even Dear Old Uncle Presley
Morris, of the Parkersburg State
Journal, is out for Glasscock. Says
Mr.. Morris in the State Journal;
Elm view OF the action Of the execu-
tive committee of the so-called Lin
coin Republican party at Charleston
last night, the State Journal sees but
one course for it to pursue and that
Is for 1t to support the ticket headed
by the name of William E. Glass
cock"
Concluding his editorial, Mr.. Nor
ris says the State journal from now
on until the November election,
shall work for all the Republican
nominees. national, state, county and
district, on accent of what they. rep
resent in the way of Republican
ism"
Other. scherr newspapers have like
wise declared themselves and, from a
perspective of the Republican press,
which reflects the ideas of Republi-
cans as can no other medium, there
is only one, reunited Grand Old Party
in West Virginia now. Democratic
newspapers are vainly trying to pick
flaws in the reunited party but that
is an old game with them in what
ever circumstance and few grains OF
comfort, If any, can they now find
in what they say about the solid
phalanx of Republicans that will
march against them on the third of
November.
