Special Dispatch to The Star.
WHEELING, w. Va. April 1S.-The
withdrawal of W. H. Hearne Of Wheel
ing. leaving the republican gubernatorial
contest to State Auditor Scherr and Sec
retary of State Swisher and the great
squirt made recently by Scherr in captur-
ing delegates, have again focused politi-
cal attention on the struggle for position
at the head of the state ticket.
Hearne withdrew following his defeat
nv Scherr in the Marshall county primary.
This occurred also just few days after
he, was given his home county's 'ficty-two
delegates without opposition. and Brooke s
eight also without a contest. Hearne re-
tired because he wanted Marshall to COM
and he felt he could not expect sentiment
in the rest of the state without MS own
section solidly at his back.
For a time it was believed Hearne ste
an excellent chance of winning In }ae
event of a deadlock in the convention as
between Swisher and Scherr. But he was
not a politician, and could not play the
game as it has been modernlZed- some
fifteen or twenty years ago he was active
to an extent in politics. Formerly demo-
crat he came over to the republicans In
the Blaine campaign. His section was
then democratic ana he was lOHOIcu Will

were then In the minority. Suddenly leap
ing into the gubernatorial contest last
fall he couldn't understand that times had
changed and that the nomination from
a majority party required the f1ercest
kind Of a battle. with no questions asked
as to how success came.
Scherr Gets Marshall Vote.
Scherr carried Marshall county because
he formed an organization that left moth
ing to be desired. He had the indorse
ment of Theodore Alvord. head of the
Anti-Saloon League. who wrote circular
in his behalf as against Swisher, although
Swisher was not contesting I'm Marshall
county This letter of Aivord's helped
wonderfully in the dry districts. In the
wet region o. Benwood and vicinity
Scherr had the liquor men. Combination
of these incongruous elements did the
trick for Scherr. and not until it was
too late did the two combative elements
discover they had been lea&ued in a COM
mon cause. Next day Hearne withdrew
and then made public Alvord's letter. and
as a result Mr.. Alvord is receiving gen.
