That Wheeling News Story is
Exploded by Mr.. Swish
er Himself.
RUNNING IN THIS STATE
And Not in the Federal Capital
City and VIII Be Nomi-
mated Next Week.
RUNNING IN Ills STATE

CHARLESTON. July -1-lHon G.
w. 'swisher, who VIII be nominated
as the Republican candidate for gov
ernor OF West Virginia, in this city
next Wednesday. was amused when
shown an article in the wheeling
News 10 the effect that the national
administration at Washington is op.
posed to his nomination.
II am making my race here In
West Virginia, whore / expect to be
governor. and not in Washington, .
said Mr. Swisher.
The article in the News bore a
Washington date line. and could cas-
lily have been written In the News Of
fee. However, it read somewhat like
articles from a special Washington
correspondent, who used many coll
.umns few weeks ago, telling how
badly Mr.. Taft would be beaten for
the nomination for President. The
article stated that Taft and the rest
of the administration. with the ex-
ception of Senator Elkins. are op-
posed to .swisher's nomination. Those
who are familiar with the affairs at
Washington need no denial OF the
story. President Roosevelt and Mr..
Taft could not be expected to be in
terested in the Republican nomina-
ton in West Virginia. They have
other matters to attract their atten-
ton. But as to their being opposed
to Mr.. Swisher nothing could be far
ther from the truth. Mr.. swlsher
was one of the first in this state to
take up the work in behalf OF Mr..
Taft and was throughout strong
supporter Of the big war secretary.
They are,personal friends, and at DIFF
terent times Mr.. Swisher has called
upon Mr.. Taft at his Washington resi-
dence. Mr.. Taft could not be ex.
pected to take hand in the nomina-
tons in West Virginia, but as TO his
being opposed to the Swisher candl-
dacy, that is entirely out OF the
question.
As to the senators from this state,
both have announced that they would
not take up the political fight at
home until after the nominations
were made. They are trying to keep
out of any fight, but the public has
yet to find where either has done
anything in opposition to Mr.. Swish
er. They are ready to support the
nominee OF the state convention like
all true Republicans.
Those conversant with West vir-
ginia and national politics are only
amused at such articles as that in the
News. The national administration
has not time to mix in state fights.
Anyhow. as Mr.. swisher says, he Is
candidate for the Office OF governor
of West Virginia. aud is making his
campaign within the state. He is a
winner, already has the nomina. lion
cinched and such inspired" articles
will not hurt his candidacy.

STORY DENIED
BY Dillon Who is Not Candidate
FOR the GovernorshiP.

Charles w. Dillon says there is no
truth in the story published that the
swisner people want Dillon to run
for governor. Speaking of the story
Mr.. Dillon says:
The story is without reason and
without fact. 1t was a surprise to
me. Neither Mr.. Dixon nor any one
else has said anything to me lately
about entering the race. There is
evidently some malice behind it. The
fight for the governorship mas already
been made, in my estimation. and
articles that would injure either OF
the candidates after the convention
are founded on poor reasoning"

HUTSON PADDED
Pay Rolls of the Nationa
Guard of West
Virginia.

CHARLESTON. July THE pros
ecution in the embezzlement case Of
Col. Hutson has endeavored to DEM
onstrate that the defendant had de-
frauded the state by padding his post
age bills.
Col. Slmms testified that IN the
year 1906 the postage charge to the
department was s672.21 and that
since Col. Hutson was relieved from
duty the postage bills have been about
s25 per month.
The case is progressing very slowly
on account OF the tedious method or
introducing the testimony. The case
VIII probably last ten days more.
