BOLT SW|SHER
IF NOMINATED
DECLARED PRESTON WON'T
STAND FOR THE DAWSON
HEIR. Ae

Morgantown. April 20.-J. S.
Dunn. OF Reedville. was in Morgan
town on business. and reporter
questioned him about things polite
al in Preston county. Mr. Dunn ex-
pressed the belief that on a square
deal. Sam Montgomery's vote should
have been at least 1880 greater than
Flynn's. He also said that Swisher
has almost no following in Preston
among the masses OF voters. There
are n few political leaders who are
roofing for Swisher on account of
their association with the state ad-
ministration.
Governor Dawson has a large num-
ber Of friends and admirers in Pres
ton. and his support of Swisher has
its weight with some OF them. How
ever. there are hundreds of friends
OF the governor in Preston who feel
that he has made a grave mistake
in this Swlsher matter and they re-
fuse to be carried into the Swisher
camp.
Mr.. Dunn says that in many parts
or Preston. as in Monongalia, life
long. true-blue Republicans do not
hesitate to declare their unalterable
hostility to the great misfit and their
purpose is to vote against him If
he gets the nomination.
There is no doubt" said Mr..
Dunn. that Scherr will get thu del
egation II the people get a chance
to name the delegates. The only
reason the candidates names were
not placd on the ticket last Satur-
day is because the ring. which is
hostile to Scherr. was afraid OF the
people. The Preston Republicans
have no use for Swisher."

FAYETTE MAN
ARRESTED UPON
CRAVE CHARGE
HUBERT DEMPSEY TAKEN IN
CHARGE BY FEDERAL AU-
THORiTIES AT OAK HILL
HAD BEEN SENDING THREAT
ENING LETTERS To DRS.
GOOCH AND KINNIsoN.

A sensation was felt at Oak Hill.
Fayeite county. Friday when Hubert
Dempsey, a young man belonging to
one of the most prominent families
or the county. was arrested on the
charge OF sending threatening let
ters through the mails The arrest
was made by Detective Clemens of
the postal secret service. who took
young Dempsey to Hinton. where. IN
the afternoon, he gave bond for his
appearance at the next term of fed
eral court in Charleston.
The story OF Dempseys 3 actions is
one of great interest. He is an ed
ucated young man and bore a good
reputation. Members OF his family
are prominent in the business and
social affairs OF Fayette, and Demp-
sey himself was a social leader in
the Oak Hill community. His broth
er is prominent p ysician of Oak
Hill. For several weeks there had
existed a keen professional rivalry
between DR.. Dempsey and Drs.
Gooch and Kinnison, OF the same
town. This rivalry developed state
of extreme bitterness.
Three weeks ago Drs. Gooch and
Kinnison began receiving anonymous
letters. The first advised them, in
a friendly way, to leave town. A
few days later the letters took on
a threatening tone, and finally they
were warned that If they we're res
ldents of the town at a certain date
they would be assassinatad. The
two physicians compared their let
tiers and decided that they were of
a common authorship. After a con-
sultation IL was decided to send the
letters TO the postoffice department,
with such attendant information as
was obtainable. This was done
and in less than a week a secret
service man was on the scene. He
succeeded in tracing the letters to
young Dempsey and his arrest fol-
lowed.
The affair of his arrest has Great
ed a tremendous sensation through
out Fayette county, whore his fam
lily is one of the best.
DR.. Gooch is quite we'll known
here, where he has frequently visit
ed. He is son of the late DR.. Ben
p. Gooch and cousin of the McCue
family I'm this city.
