Huntington last Wednesday and
Thursday which for a time bid
fair TO eclipse anything in the
political line that has so far been
pulled off during this great oon-
tes. in West Virginia. Wednes.
day was the day set for nominat-
ing the republican candidate for
state senator to represent the
Fifth senatorial district, comp os.
ed of the counties of Cabeil, Lin
and Putnam. It soon became
evident after the delegates from
the three counties had gathered at
Cabell county's court house that
there would be lively times be-.
fore a nomination was made
The principal element Of disturb
ance was the Cabell county
Scherr-Swisher c,ntest, there be-
ing two sets of delegates to the
Senatorial convention. The Swish
er delegates had won, before the
executive committee, but the
Scherr people, led by Hon. John
L. Graham, carried the fight to
the floor of the convention and
succeeded in getting the solid
votes of the Lincoln and Putnam
delegations in favor of their
delegation and by the terms of
resolution they were empowered
to sit in the convention and cas- t
half of Cabell's vote. When
Chairman Douglass called the
convention to order he named K.
K. Williams as temporary chair
man. The Sherr people moved to
substitute John w. Perry. After
a confused battle covering more
than an hour, Perry won the
chairmanship by asmall majority
Williams, however, refused to
relinquish the chair and for a
time it looked as though two
nominations would be made.
Finally the Swisher delegation,
headed by Elliot Northoott, Frank
Tyree, w. f. Hite and others
adjourned until 10 o'clock Thurs
dvy morning and left the room.
The Scherr followers remained
and perfected their organization +,
but finally agreed to adjourn un-
til Thursday morning before tax.
ing up the nomination of a can
dIdate for state senator.
The Swisher people favored
@. l.. Ritter, who is close per-
sonal friend of Isaac T. Mann,
and it is said if elected senator
would favor Mann for U. s.
senator. The Scherr men and
temperance element wanted d. s.
Smith, for several terms one of
Cabell county's represent tatives in
the house of delegates.
sMITH NOMINATED.
The convention was called to
order by Chairman Perry prompt
ly at 10 O'Clock on Thursday
morning when it was soon dis
covered that harmony with
capital II would have full sway.
The Swisaer followers finding
that they were out generated and
in minority gracefully agreed to
Smiths nomination and he was
declared the republican candidate
for state senator of the Fifth
district by acclamation.
The convention adopted a
resolution favoring the submis.
sion Of the prohibition question to
vote of the people. Senator
Scott was indorsed and the nomi-
nee instructed to vote for his re-
election. ID. B. Smith, the

ty-seven men registered from the buildings Of the
Brooklyn Jockey Club, while forty-seven men have
already been registered from there this year.
