NOT A CANDIDATE

distinguished arrivals at the Mcclure
last night was tlE Hon. c. w. Dillon
OF Fayette county, the former state
tax commissioner. Mr. Dillon has OF
late figured rather prominently in
the public eye, as a possible Repub
lican candidate for the governor
ship. He has been strongly fmpor-
tuned upon all sides to enter the race
by his friends who believe he would
make a strong candidate. To a re-
porter last evening at the Mcclure.
however, Mr.. Dillon stated: Il have
after careful consideration decided
not to become a candidate for gov
ernor. | am very appreciative of the
loyalty shown me by my friends and
take the pleasure OF extending.
my thanks for the many offers of
support received, and which comes
from very generally over the state.
However, / realize that to make the
fight 70 nth enomination and election
would put me to a very severe test
and place me in position which Just
now would be embarrassing. During
the last year 1 have entered rather
prominently into business, and made
number of engagements which to-
enter the race for governor would
compel me to neglect and to give
them the attention their importance
demands would leave me little or no
time for the gubernatorial fight. In
consideration. of this and various
private reasons / have determined
not TO be candidate"
While Mr.. Dillon states he would
under no conditions now enter the
race as candidate for governor, he
Is candidate for delegate at large
from West Virginia to the National
Republican convention. He hopes
that his friends who urged him to
become candidate for governor will
be equally as cordial in their sup.
port of his candidacy as delegate
to the national convention.
