BIG YEAR WITH
GLASS WORKERS
SWISHER a SECOND
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Or An Andrew Jackson, Who
Both Were Great
Presidents.
Communicated i


The News says "Swisher has not a
single qualification for the office

some of his alleged disqualifications

bill. could not to save his life con.
strue law constitutional or salts

Could not to save his life discuss a
problem In taxation or finance in a
forcible or logical manner. Could
not to save his life write message,
etc.
Now, let us see. what 1T says in his
favor. for 1t pretends or intends to
be fair. He is a fairly good politi-
clan of the modern school. To be
modern and good politician are
powers not to he despised in COVER
nor. He has character and integ-
ri.y thar the News will not reflect on.
His early educational opportunities
were not abundant. He began poor
and friendless," without powerful
family connections or the advantages
VI wealth. ana education.
The News editor winds up by say
ing Swisher is not fitted for the high
position. l. have read of some of
these same disqualification that have
been urged against many others.
Andrew Jackson, for instance, was
called unfit for the Presidency, be-
cause he did not know French, could
not preside gracefully at state din
ners, could not converse with repre-
sentatives of foreign governments.
could not spell correctly. and because
his wife smoked cob pipe. Not
withstanding all this, Andrew jack
son appears in history as an able
President.
remember we'll when ! heard
numbers crying out that Lincoln was
not fit for President. He was ignor-
ant of the rules o. grammar, was
awkward and ungainly in his form
and manner; would he the laughing
stock of Washington polite society;
had been sold out by the sheriff;
could not run grocery store; total
ly unfit to discuss problems of ma
tional taxation and finance!
Notwithstanding all these defects
the American people from their
common sense elevated Lincoln TO
the Presidents chair, and today no
man is ashamed to say: 81 voted for
Abraham Lincoln"
The people of West Virginia re-
ioice in the fact that this state of
fers opportunities for young men for
lettering their condition" With all
the charges urged against Swisher,
it is not charged that he has been
derelict in his duties or betrayed
trust from mule boy in mine to his
present exalted position of secretary
OF state. And. in appreciation of
his push and energy as young man,
who has overcome so many obstacles,
and in sense OF fair play, the people
will elevate him to the governors
chair, and feel assured that his execu-
tive ability will give the state an
efficient administration, and the peo-
pie will not he ashamed of messages
he as governor will issue.

The committee thanked DIR. Mclean,
who told them that while he thought
II best to remain at Hattiesburg
where most of the seriously injured

A number of Red Cross nurses left
Washington last night for Hattiesburg
and they ought to arrive tonight.
The scene at Purvis is still one of
