STORY DENIED
BY Dillon Who is Not a Candidate
for the Goycrnorship.

Charles W. Dillon says there is no
truth in the story published that the
Swisher people want Dillon to run
for governor. Speaking of the story
Mr.. Dillon says:
THE story is without reason and
without fact. 1t was surprise to
me. Neither Mr.. Dixon nor any one
else has said anything to me lately
about entering the race. There is
evidently some malice behind 1t. The
fight for the goyernorship has already
been made, in my estimation. and
articles that would injure either of
the candidates after the convention
are founded on poor reasoning"

That Wheeling News Story is
Exploded by Mr.. SWISH
er Himself.
RUNNING in THIS STATE
And Not in the Federal Capital
City and win Be Nomi-
mated Next Week.

CHARLESTON. July Hon. c.
w. Swlsher, who will be nominated
as the Republican candidate for gov
ernor of West Virginia, in this city
next Wednesday, was amused when
shown an article in the Wheeling
News to the effect that the national
administration at Washington is OPP
posed to his nomination.
II am making my race here in
West Virginia, where i expect to be
governor, and not in Washington, !"
said Mr.. Swisher.
The article in the News bore a
Washington date line, and could cas-
lily have been written in the News Of
flee. However, 1t read somewhat like
articles from special Washington
correspondent, who used many COL
umns few weeks ago. telling how
badly Mr.. Taft would be beaten for
the nomination for President. The
article stated that Taft and the rest
of the administration, with the ex-
ception of Senator Ellsins, are OPP
posed to Swisher's nomination. Those
who are familiar with the affairs at
Washington need no denial of the
story. President Roosevelt and Mr..
Taft could not be expected to be in-
terested in the Republican nomina-
ton in West Virginia. They have
other matters to attract their atten-
ton. But as to their being opposed
to Mr.. Swisher nothing could be far
ther from the truth. Mr.. Swisher
was one Of the first In this state to
take up the work in behalf of Mr..
TAT. and was throughout, a. strong
supporter Of the big war secretary.
They are personal friends. and at diff
ferent times Mr.. Swisher has called
upon Mr.. Taft at his Washington resi-
dence. Mr.. Taft could not be ex-
pected to take a hand in the nomina-
tons in West Virginia, but as to his
being opposed to the Swlsher candi-
dacy, that is entirely out of the
question.
AS to tlle senators from this state,
DOM nave announced that they would
not take up the political fight at
home until after the nominations
were made. They are trying to keep
OUT of any fight, but the public has
yet to find where either has done
in opposition to Mr.. Swish
er. They are ready to support the
nominee Of the state convention like
all true. Republicans.
Those conversant with West Viz
ginia and national politics are only
amused at such articles as that in the
News. The national administration
has not time to mix in state fights.
Anyhow, as Mr.. Swishcr says, he is
a candidate for the office of governor
of West Virginia, and is making his
campaign within the state. He is a
winner, already has the nomination
cinched and such inspired" articles
will not hurt his candidacy.
