SENATORS VIEW
WITH ALARM THE
". VA. PROSPECTS
THEY ARE WORKING TO RE
LIEVE THE TENSION AND PUT
OUT A NEW CANDIDATE FOR
GOVERNOR, ASSURED THAT
DEFEAT AWAITS EITHER OF
THE PRESENT CANDIDATES.,
SO FAR THEIR EFFORTS HAVE
BEEN IN VAIN.

The Cincinnati Enquirer prints
the following dispatch:
Huntington, w. Va. May 2.-The
failure of conference bstween Sem
ators Scott and Elkins and per-
onal representative of Governor VIM
o. Dawson TO evolve a plan for the
elimination of Charles w. Swisher
and Arnold G.. Scnerr, rival candi-
dates for the Republican nominu-
tion for governor. and the substitu-
tion OF man unidentified with the
most bitter political embodiment
West Virginia has ever known, has
left the Republican party in the
state facing a condition which
amounts practically chaos
For two months the rivals.
Swisher and Scherr. the former sec
retary Of state, the latter state au-
ditor. have waged n relentless cam
paign for delegates. The tactics em-
paoyed have resulted in extrema bit
terness being engendered in every
section of the state. They have
Eone into. thirty three of the fifty
five counties and held conventions
or primaries. "Rump conventions
the lule. and already % contesting
delegations have been chosen. The
strife has become so bitter in many
OF the counties that rival county
tickets have been named by the con
tending factions.
Realizing the danger of the situ-
alton, Senators Scott and Elklns
called a conferences OF the party
leaders n day or two ago for the
purpose OF evolving q plan TO have
both Swisher and Scherr withdraw
in favor of candidate upon whom
their respective following could
unite. Both men. however. refuse
10 accede to the demands upon them
and each has since issued a signed
statement declaring that he is in
the race to stay TO the end.
As the situation appears at pres
ent Swisher has a decided advantage
and his nomination is practically
conceded. When he is made the
party nominee he will face very
embarrassing situation. Leading ,-
publican newspapers have waged a
bitter fight against him. citing co
piously from his public record. and
declaring his unfitness for the gov
ernorship. They have also charged
openly that if nominated he cannot
be elected. and concede the state
TO the Democrats If he shall mt
made the standard bearer. On the
other hand, the Swisher press
agents have not ben idle, and have
builded for Scherr a record almost
as unsavory as the Scherr papers
made for thier chief. There is vet
a strong probability that a third
candidate will be forced into the
field in a last desperate attempt TO
clear the atmosphere by nominat-
ing man whose name will i'm some
measure restore harmony, but there
seems little likelihood that this car
be accomplished
