Barbour's Blow to scherr.

The overwhelming victory scored
by Secretary of State Swisher over
Auditor Scherr, in the primary held
In Barbour county, proved deaden-
ing, II not fatal blow, to the Scherr
candidacy, and there is now strong
talk going the rounds of the Scherr
lieutenants that the man to whose
fortunes their pinned their faith, is
going to withdraw. Priorsto the pri-
mary election in Barbour county, the
Scherr people claimed that he would
have a walkover there; that 1t was
next his home county; that he was
the better known and the more pop
ular; and that he could walk oft
with the delegates from that county
easily when the people of the party
got the opportunity to cast their
ballots direct as between him and
Swisher. When that opportunity
came, the prediction claims of the
Scherr managers failed to material
lie. There were 1913 votes cast. of
which Swisher received 1,045 and
Scherr 40. In other words. Swish
err received over two votes to every
one cast for Scherr.
Speaking of the primary, the Phil
ippi Republican said: "The guber-
material primary election held ir this
county last Saturday went Off quiet
ly, but the Scherr and Swisher forces
were energetic for their men and
an unusually large vote was polled.
which resulted in Mr.. Swisher carry
Ing the county over Mr.. scherr by
q majority of 573."
And. so it goes. Mr.. Swjsher's
candidacy is away in the lead with
about $50 delegates certain for him,
not to mention contested delegation
In Roane, where the facts seem to
favor the regularity of the supposed
Swisher delegates. Mr.. Scherr's can
didacy has thus far failed to get a
start. Thus far, 1t has been left at
the post. He failed even to get a
majority of the eight delegates in
Writ. where 1t was supposed that,
his Lieutenant, T. A. Brown, had
everything fixed for him . before
hand. OF the eight delegates Swish
er picked up three and Hearne two.
scherr claims the other three.

Theodore Roosevelt is president
who gives a listening and attentive
ear to the people. They approach
him freely. and he gives them hear
ing. He recognizes the principle OF
citizenship and encourages indfyid-
ual assertion and action. He gives
his appreciation to the idea that one,
man has as much right to have a
voice In the government as another.
whether he be rich or poor. educated
or uneducated. With him wealth
has no more right to share his ener-s
giles than poverty has, for he is the
peoples president-+not the classes
as opposed to or aligned against the
masses, and he thinks as much of the
poor man as he does OF the rich man,
II they be of equal honesty and pat
riotism, and the poor man can APP
.proach him just as easily as the rich
man.
To students of humanity and the
tendency of modern times toward
the greater equality of freemen, and
especially of those who constitute a
nation of liberty. those great traits
of Roosevelt are essential to the best
and highest government, and are be-
ing exemplified in our own state,
though not in imitation of the great
American president. No longer do
we-find men of high station and with
blue blood in their veins or rocked in
the cradle of wealth occupying chief
position in the development of the
state. To the contrary we do find
men of humble birth and impoyerisf-
ed youth at the head of important in
dustries accomplishing progressive
results and advancing the state to a
higher plane and real greatness. 1t
is such men, who are today largely
responsible for the progress made.
and being made, men who are of the
common people and who are not only
easily approached but are also CO.
operative with those associated with
them in the development. They are
OF the common people and with them.
They were not rocked in the cradle
of wealth, they know not aristocracy's
way, nor do they care to learn it.
This sentiment of public men be-
ing in close touch with their consti-
tuents-the peoples rapidly crys-
talizing in West Virginia, and her
people feel that their governor, their
congressman, their other public offlc-
ials should ever be men who will
freely give them opportunity to be
heard. They feel that they are the
sovereign power in reality and they
want public men who will listen to
them.
