Mr. John G. Ross, who is here on
the programme at the meeting OF tbs
West Virginia State Mining Institute.
was interviewed by the writer and
gave out the above as his prediction
of the present Republican gubernater-
!al nomination. .
Mr.. Ross, who Is an old graduate Of
the State university, Is assistant TO
Mr.. ]. w. Paul; chief of the depart
nent of mines. and Is located with
headquarters In Charleston. From
the nature Of his duties Mr.. Ross Is
in an excellent position to Interpret
public sentiment throughout the State
and coming direct from Charleston
his opinion is indicative CT the feel
ing at the capital of entire confidence
In Swisher.s ability to win ata the
convention on July s at, Charleston.
Mr.. Ross supports4hts view by the
statement that the entire mining
population Is bound by every tie of
loyalty to vote fer Mr.. Swtsher. He
has come up from the bottom as one
OF them and from them.
There has been a number of
statements made. especially by GER
tain newspapers. that SwIsher is
against legislation in favor of labor.
Now It is extremely easy to take GER
tains actions independent OF other
considerations and warp them to suit
the case. His recordlis Is clear. sHa1is
one Of those who have saved West
Virginia from the temptation of th.
hour to. indulge In extreme legisla-
ton and from the humiNating reflec-

Mr. Olney's Letter.

The Democratic party's case In this
campaign has never been expressed
more clearly than by former Secretary
Olnsy In his singulariy able letter to
the New York World printed recently:
1t Is true that the Democratic
party Of today Is made up OF groups
with diverse views and aims on var
ious more or less important topics.
Yet, taken as a whole, II Is the best
organized protest there Is against Re-
publican misrule-against the ex-
cesses of all sorts brought on by the
long Republican revel In unlimited
power-against excuses in expendi-
lures, In taxation, In territorial ex-
pansfon, In the creation and mainten-
ance Of military ornaments, In the
enlargement Of the sphere OF govern
mental action, in the concentration of
power In the general government to
the enfeeblement OF the state govern
ments.
whoever believes In the prevail
ing policies and tendencies Of the Re-
publican party will Of course act with
that party In the pending presidential
contest. But whoever believes those
policies and tendencies to be vicious
and injurious can record mis- belief and
make II effective in no other way
than by acting with the Democratic
party"
