Longworth Replies
TO DovER's STATEMENT REGARD.
ING LEGALITY OF OHIO
PRIMARY.

WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. IA
Representative Nicholas Longworth, OF
o., commenting on the statement by
Secretary Elmer Dover, OF the Repub.
lican national committee relative to
the legality of the proposed election
OF delegates to the Republican national
convention directly by the Ohio pri.
mary said the decision does not af-
feet in the slightest degree the call
for the convention from which sena-
tor Foraker dissented. The Bronson
law does not affect congressional dis
tricts but applies to county districts
only. Mr.. Dover's statement Is in re-
spect to the character of the election
to be held for the district delegates,
and 1t affects only one or two districts
of the state where such primary cleo
ton was intended to be held. AS q
matter of fact, there has been no
such a primary election except in the
Eighteenth district and possibly in
Cleveland.

The Grafton Republican puts the

ton in the following manner:

which arose through Democratic
sources last week that Hon. Chas. w.
swisher was to be side-tracked from
his candidacy for the Republican nom
inatlon for governor, and given the in
ternal revenue collectorship. now held
by Mr.. w. q. Glasscock, of Morgan
town, has been bitterly denied by Mr..
Swisher himself In an interview given
out at Charleston. There must be
some very poignant reason why the
Democracy don't want Mr.. swlsher to
be a candidate for the governorship.
Time and again It has tried to side
track him for one thing and another
until the list has about peen\ gone
through with, and there's now nothing
short of an United States senatorship

beat, why don't the enemy shut up
and get busy? II the Democracy has
chance to redeem" the State, why
mot grab the opportunity and hold it
fast? This is good reasoning. Mr..
swisher Is getting tired of denying
rumors OF his side-tracklng; he has
said that he won't have anything and
don't want anything but the governor
