The ticket nominated at the Renub-
7icnn county primary Saturday is one
of unusual strength. Never in the his
tory of the county has there been u
better qualified set Of men placed be-
fore the people for office. Each man
nominated5 Saturday Is peculiarly fit
] ted for toe Office that he seeks. And
while this is true of the victors 1t is
: also true OF those who were van
squished. All were mighty men of
s.valor who stood high In the counsels
sofE their party. There was hardly =
chance to go wrong. The high order
of the men that announced made it
hard for even the whole people to
choose as a careful study of the tab
lilated vote will show.
&C. w. Swisher. candidate for gov
.crnor ernor. headed the ticket. He
was without opposition and will have
the privilege of choosing the 30 dele
gates that will represent Marion coun-
tyS In the State convention that meets
{ In Charleston In June. The vote shows
Sthnt SwiBhcr7 was cut considerably.
4 Much OF this was due to the fact that
y the county executive committee de-
clded that the candidate. for governor
receiving the highest number Of votes
should have the privilege TO appoint
the delegates 10 the State conven-
ztion. This eliminated the other State
candidates from the ticket and this
!. was contrary to the wishes OF many
5Yot the people and they showed their
disapproval by theirsvote A fight was
winged against the committee in the
districts and the result was that nrnc
tical1y a new committee as.elected.
One OF SwIsher's opponents said
z that II the organized movement had
started sooner he would have made n
Z greater gain In the race.
Hubbard's one sided fight with Haz.
lett clearly demonstrated that Marion
