Arch Conspirators.

Room twenty-one of the Marley
hotel at Fairmont was the scene OF
one of Arnold c. Scherr's dastardly
plots in the campaign for the nomina-
ton for governor. "A conspiracy
went on there one night in reference
to the Marion county primary that
ought to put most any man to shame,
and, especially, him, who went before
the people declaiming himself as one
who was too clean to resort to under
mining methods in attempts to secure
a nomination for public office. The
scheme planned there that night by
L. NJ. Grant, Arnold c. Scherr, Will
liam Hamilton and a prominent Bar
bour county man, together with an
other or so was for the sole purpose
Of humiliating Swisher in his home
county and disCrediting his strength
there.
How unlike Swisher's actions in
reference TO Scherr's own county!
The comparison in these two in
stances is sufficient to convince the
average reader Of the difference be-
tween the two campaigns as well as
to show that mere pretense of clean
politics on the part of arch-conspirat-
ors burning the midnight oil may be
resorted 70, but like murder 1t will
come out.
