Campaign Of Abuse by Scherr-

by Elkins Mayor.

The EIklns Daily Inter- Mountain
says:
Another evidence of the campaign
of villifcation and abuse that has
been conducted in the Interest of
General A. c. Scherr for governor
appears in the account of an alleged
speech of DR.. A. NJ. Fredlock at the
meeting OF the Lincoln Republican
executive committee, held in Parkers-
burg Monday night
DR.. Fredlock Is quoted as saying
that the only Swlsher people in RAN
dolph county were a few hireIIngs,
who had been made to lineup by he
secretary on pain of their Jobs He
is also quoted as saying that Senator
Elkins had remarked on his return
to Elktns recently that you have
played the devil"
DR.. Fredlock when seen today by a
representative of the Inter Mountain
Vehemently denied ever having made
any such statement.
Just why the organs of the Lincoln
Republican party should continue to
keep UP the style of campaign which
has characterized Mr.. Scherr's fight
all the way through is hard to de-
termine From Its very incipency
the Scherrs campaign has been
marked by personal abuse of Mr..
Swisher and vile insinuations about
his character and even after he has
been nominated by the regular con-
ventlon of his party, and a so-called
Lincoln Republican organized hoping
to defeat him. the campaign of mis-
representation Is kept up, statements
made by their own commitment be-
ing garbled and. misquoted in the
hope of creating sentiment.
