Howard Swisher, q life long DEM
ocrat, and one of the foremost BUSH
ness men OF Monongalia county, and
who was delegate to the senator
ial convention Saturday, charged
upon the floor of the convention that
the party bosses called a meeting. in,
Fairmont three days before the con-
Yention and slatcdta candidate, and
he charged that members of his own
Alonongalia county delegation were
in this meeting. and 1one OF them;
had. the courage to get up and deny
the charge, although they were pres
ent when this charge was made. Y
Guy Mathews, another young in
dependent Democrat, a school teach
er of ability and a man who is we'll
acquainted with local political af-
fairs. asserted his independence of
the bosses and likewise charged that
on the evening before the conven-
ton, not later than 10 o'clock, the
bosses who not only control all nom
inations in this and adjoining coun-
ties. but Of the entire state, and
without whose consent no man dare
