Dawson,s LogicnI Successor.

Governor w. NJ. o. Dawson never
failed the Republican party or the
people nor would he fail them now.
The work he has accomplished for the
state is universally acknowledged and
praised, except by Democratic parti-
sans, and none will seriously make
the charge that his every effort his
every desire has not been to promote
the welfare OF the people of the
state, as well as to advance the Re
publican party by the administration
of its grand principles in such effic-
lent manner as naturally to make the
party one OF the people in every feat
ure. None will deny that he has sue
ceeded admirably and the state and
her people are better for his having
been elected governor. Conscientious
and earnest in his desire for the best
welfare of the state not only now but
in the future, Governor Dawson
would not be for any other man for
governor than he who has proved his
worth in helping to accomplish the
great reforms and aggressive bene-
fits brought about by his admlnistra-
ton and recognizing in Charles w.
Swisher from his works the man
to best carry on these great reforms
and further and increase the benefits
of the policies Of the Republican par
ty iQ this state, he declares unequi-
vocally and unreservedly for him for
governor, as shown by the following
interview:
Secretary Swisher has stood con-
sistently, earnestly and courageously
by the party's pledges and my admin
istration work in accomplishing them.
He has done this know at times

IntelliCencer is Democratic.

Every Republican or other man
who reads Its daily attacks on the
Republican party, It's leaders, Its
United States senators, its rank and
file, will agree that the Wheeling In
telligencer is Democratic to the core.
The fact that it is Democratic is
not at all surprising, as H. c. Ogden,
its principal owner, is Democrat at
heart. though he may profess con-
version to the Republican party and
Its doctrines. 1t has been said OF
Ogden that he plays Republican for
the money there is in it. AT this
time he is doubtless playing Scherr
for what he is getting out of 1t.
A great many people think he
has been bought outright. but. even
il that were not true, his Democratic
heart sees chance, or at least he
thinks he does, to bring the state into
the Democratic fold. where he was
born, reared and has resided all his

and his party perfidy under the guild
ance and nurture Of few designing
fellows had grown to such proper
tons in a few hours that he had come
to regard the state convention OF the
party. with which he had previously
declared he was in full accord, like he
would Democratic convention. He
would have nothing to do with a Re-
publican state convention and 1t Is
but his Just dessert that the Republi-
can voters should have nothing to do
with him.

scherr Conrlcts Himself.

In literature and appeals sent out
by Arnold c. Scherr before the state
convention at Charleston Arnold G..
Scherr used such words as these:
1.-THE platform OF the Republican par
ty is my platform. An article he
mailed out also contained this: That
Auditor Scherr is in full accord with
his the Republican party in West
Virginia is shown concluslvely by his
utterances. Also this: THE nom
inee for governor should lead a unit
ed party against the common enemy"
From his own words and His own
course, he is convicted. No other evil
dence is necessary. All know that
he has repudiated the platform of the
Republican party, as he now stands
on one made by men, who took no
part in the Republican convention and
who gathered themselves together to
devise means to defeat the nominees
of the convention and to see that the
Republican platform in this state does
not win. Therefore, he has no right
now to even pretend that he Is Re-
publican and certainly not the slight
est right to seek the support OF any
Republican. The fact that he does
not stand on the Republican platform
shows that he has departed from
where he stood before the nomination
was made.
Arnold c. Scherr knows that he
can not be in full accord with the Re-
publican party of West Virginia,
when he is openly arrayed against
that party on the verge of a state and
national election. He knows that If
he was in full accord before the con-
vention that his actions since have
placed him wholly in discord. Then,
why should he not honestly say so
and not try to make it appear that
he is entitled to Republican votes?
Some call him Honest Arnold
Scherr," but he is not honest in this.
Again, is he convicted by his own
/ words and actions.
Appealing to the popular vote be-
fore the convention he said: 1.-The
1 'AShAAlNN AOA SCNVlhOl olOulu lGdu a
united party against the enemy" and
yet in the face OF that utterance. he
is actively enlisted in cause to array
the party against the nominee and
not against the common enemy. Ar
mold Scherr knows this. So does
every Republican, and the Democratic
leaders hope that he may succeed.
Arnold C. Scherr even carried his
rebellion against the party to the ex-
tent Of positively refusing to permit
his name to go before the Republican
state convention. An eloquent law
yer residing in the southern end OF
the state had consented to place him
in nomination and had prepared the
nominating speech. He did not 60
to the rump convention but sat in
the regular convention, expecting and
intending to place Scherr in nomina-
ton according to request and agree
ment. But, Scherr never went near
1 the convention hall. but totally ig-

life until short time ago, when he
presumably departed, but now we
know it was only in sleeps clothing
that he might devour the enemy of
the Democratic party.
But, his course is not a free and
easy one, as the newspapers Of this
state, meet him on every turn and
are speaking out with force and effect
against his treachery and the pre-
tense of the Wheeling IntellIgencer
in Its claim that 1t is Republican
paper. AS a sample of the way that
paper is being read out Of the Grand
Old Party without any mincing of
words, the following from the
Moundsville Herald Is here given:
THE Wheeling Intelligencer has
let up for a time on Hon. c. w.
Swisher and is turning its wrath on
Senators Scott and Elkins, finding
nothing too mean or too harsh to say
against these two distinguished Re-
publlcans. 1t gives space to cCNl-
munications prophesying their defeat
and branding them as towards, po-
litical pirates, freebooters, etc. 1t
even went so far in its issue of FRI
day, August 81, as to print a letter
written by ]. NJ. Mason, a Democrat
of Charles Town. in which he states
that "Rooseveltism is Organism. :"
What do the Republicans of West
Virginia think of such a course as the
one that the Intelligencer is pursu-
ing? Yet 1T is to be expected, since
that paper is now owned and con-
trolled by H. c. Ogden, who claims
to be recent convert to Republican
ism. but who at heart is a Democrat.
The Intelligencer is no more a Re-
publican newspaper today than the
Wheeling Register or Parkersburg
Sentinel, neither of which is trying,
like the Intelligencer is trying, to sail
unde- false colors. The Republicans
of West Virginia should be warned
against the Intelligencer. 1t is not
Republican newspaper and is en-
titled to no consideration as such by

Bryan says the people can not safe
ly entrust to the Republican party the
matter of tariff revision. All know
what happened, when the Democrats
revised number OF years ago. They
have not forgotten either what hap
pened, when the Republicans revised
it later. All acquainted with the two
incidents very much prefer to have
the Republicans do the revising.
