Big Southern County Knows No
Split in Republican
Politics.
ALL ARE FOR swlsHER
And the County viii Roll Up an
Immense, Vote for
the Ticket.

HUNTINGTON, July Hon.
Louis Queen, of Queens Ridge,
Wayne county. spent last night In the
city. Mr. Queen is en- route to
French Lick, Ind, where he will
spend several days recuperating. He
is a member of the board of directors
of the West Virginia Asylum, locat-
ed here, and one of the leading Re
puDlicans. When asked concerning
the situation with reference to the
two nominees for governor, Mr..
Queen said: (,
"We>do not recognize two nomi-
nees over there. Every Republican
is Wayne county knows that Mr..
Swisher and those named with him
constitute the only regular Republi-
can ticket and We are all for that
ticket. Wayne county Republicans
are Republicans every day in the
year, and have worked too hard to
reduce an 500 majority to nothing
to enter into any ruinous compact
just as time when we have an OPP
portunity to enjoy the fruits of twen-
ty years hare and patient work.
There never was any Scherr senti-
ment among Wayne county Republi-
cans except a little manufactured
feeling imported from Huntington.
You can count on Wayne county to
do her duty, and when, the voters are
counted in November will be seen
that Mr.. Swisher will not only get
all the Republican votes but that he
will get also more votes than the
Democratic candidate for governor
will get in the county"

Discovery of the Trap Set for
Him Causes Much
Indignation.

The exposure by the Telegram of
the plot laid by opponents in this
county of Louis Bennett for governor
stirred up perfect hornets nest.
While the Bennett followers have
been angry several days on account
of their discovery Of the proposed
frame-up work by which the Chiltons
were to force John T McGraw to
desert Bennett, yet they were so busy
expressing their Indignation and dis
approval that they had little time to
devote to other features and the trap
laid for Bennett escaped their at
tention until the Telegram last eve
ming pointed out the fact that they
had been outwltted by designers
against Bennett.
As matter, of course, many OF the
Bennett adherents will be at the So
called ratification meeting tomorrow.
but grave doubts are expressed as to
whether Bennett himself will lend his
presence in order that the plotters
may carry out their scheme to humil-
late him.
The special information on the
situation given by the Telegram
brought forth storm of indignation
against those who set up the plot
against Bennett and runners are busi-
~ engaged today in efforts to ascer-
tain the identity of the perpetrators.
The scheme has been so cleverly
worked however that It Is believed
the plotters burned the bridges be-
hind them as they passed over and
there will be no definite information
obtained as to who did the job.
Though there Is nothing certain as
to the indentity of those who played
the trick, yet there are strong sus-
plcions with good many ear marks
in evidence, which have resulted in
bitter determinations.
Benefits party enemies are gleeful
over the situation. They assert that
the trap has been well set and that it
places him where no matter what
his action he win be a victim Of the
trap. The dead-fall they say, is
sure to catch. 1t is claimed that II
he comes to the meeting, he will vol
unfairly place himself in the trap,
and, II he stays away, they assert. It
will be proof that he did not have
the courage to meet his antagonist
and is not foeman worthy OF the
steel.
From these viewpoints 1t impresses
one that Bennett has been placed in
very peculiar and trying position,
indeed, he is the victim OF plot,
which he may not overcome with
grace or such high composure as dig
nifies candidate for the great Of
flee of governor of state.
With situation like this 1t is lit
tie wonder that even those not espe-
cially interested eagerly await devel-
opments. which may be most sensa-
tional in nature.
