This indicated, apparently. the name
Of the maker.
The preserver seemed 10 be new,
and auparentiy had not been in the
water a great length Of time. 1t was
stained with oil. AN officer OF the
coast guard cutter service. who ex'
amined the buoy, said that if the pre-
server had been thrown overheard by
someone who thought TO play prac'
-, tical joke, he had done very gooa
job.
The preserver was we'll made and
the lettering and the ink were Of the
best quality. =,
The buoy was picked up at a small
place known as Maiden Cove. by 10

sons were nearby at the time and sa"
the boy pick up the object from the

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Sept. 29.-
A suit for damages in the sum of $s5,-
0OD was instituted in the common
pleas court Of Kanawha county court
today by Charles W. Swisher, former
Republican nominee for governor
againsht John ]. Cornwell. Democratic
nominee for governor. In the bill of
complaint. which will be filed later.
it is understood that MIR. Swisher will
charge Mr. Cornwell with uttering and
being responsible for the publication
in his newspaper, the Hampshire Re
view, of libelous and untrue charges
rejecting upon his honesty anu lnte'
gritty. The cause of action Is hasrG
upon a charge made by Cornwcil
through his newspaper. The 1amp-
shire Review, on Wednesday, Septem-
Der Goth. 1916, and repeated by him in 4
recent speech in kanawha county N
which ne made the direct charge that
Swisher had made an effort TO conf
pIete a deal whereby a. criminal prose-
cution would be stopped, il a certain
CORPORATION would contribute $l00,0U0.
To the Republican campaign FUND IN
West Virginia, while there is no dl-
rect reference made it is generally
thought that Cornwell had in mind
the case Of Attorney A. Leo Well. In
dicted IN the criminal court of Kan
awha county. for attempting 10 bride
the public service commission IN con-
nection with the case involving an in
crease in gas rates and that he I'M
piled that Swishcr had Attempted 10
deal with the Manufacturers Light
and Heat Co.. which company was
represented by We'll in the proceed
ings before the public service commits
sion.
In the Hampshire Review of We'd
nesday, September 90, the following
charge is made in the eunorlai
column: "Our information, and it IS
from such reliable sources that we
do not doubt it. that the man behind
this mud gun of 42 centimeter caltbre
is Charles Swisher, whom we now and
here charge with having sought 10
make deal to stop prosecution II
a certain corporation will contribute
500, 600 to the Republican campaign
fund" MIR. Swisher charges that this
is a malicious libel without one word
of truth and that he feels Mr.. Corn
we'll must be called 20 an accounting
for his recklesSness i'll making 4
charge of this import.
The case will attract great deal
of attention throughout the state as
both parties are prominent in political
circles. Mr.. Swishcr through h,s
counsel declared that he would push
the case TO a speedy trial and thai NJ.
Cornwell must be prepared 10 prove
the charge he has made.

SUTTON, ". Va, Sept. 99.-Brax,
ton county voters to-day heard the doc
triue of Republicansm preached by
two of West Virginia's ablest Repub.
licanS. Judge Ira +. Robinson, candi-
date for governor, and Joseph Holt
Gaines, chairman Of the State commit
tee. Judge Robinson and Chairman
Gaines both spoke AT Sutton this af-
ternoon, and tonight The Judge ad-
dressed large meeting of voters at
Gassaway. At both meetings there
were enthusiastic demonstrations for
both the State and National tickets.
and prominent local political lead
ers freely predicted that BraXton coun-
ly, formerly a Democratic stronghold,
would give the Republicans Il small
majority This year.
In spite of drenching rain. which
poured down nearly all day, the court
house at Sutton WAS packed. and, As
in other meetings he has held, Judge
Robinson was given the closest atten'
ton. His attack on WISCONSIN
aroused special interest among the
Democrats, BECAUSE Of their undying
loyalty 10 their late leader. Col. John
McGraw.
In answer to Candidate Cornwell's
speech at Hinton. yesterday, Judge
Robinson said: 81 note that Mr.. Corn
we'll accuses me of bad faith, both TO-
ward the friends of Governor Hatfield
and those of General Lilly. That in.
dicateS that he is playing both ends
and the middle. He began on this
small line Of craftsmanship in the
first speech he made. My record as

am, and at all times shall be. fair
and impartial But the constructive
advance of West Virginia., for which
my party stands, is the real issue, not
my personality. The party is the can
dldate.
True to His Boss.
He said. referring to me, that II
he had Il political boss he would re-
main true TO him. What do The Nc
Graw Democrats say as 10 Mr.. Corn
wells fidelity TO his old leader?
I'VE certainly heard the expressions
on this line at the time Mr.. Cornwell
was AT Charleston aiding Watson and
Chiffon to be elected 10 the United
STATES senate Ill I'LL. mere IS Ho
doubt but that Mr.. Cornwell will re.
main true to Watson in view of the
latter's dominant hold on the present
Democratic organization in this State.
1t is now, Watson's turn TO aid Corn
we'll 1t will be Cornwell's turn to aid
Watson again toward the Senate in
1918. But both in this year and in that
future year the people will repudiate
as they did in 1914, Watson and his al
lies. who were openly charged by lead
ing Democrats and the Democratic
press with obtaining his election by
bribery and corruption. In West Fir-
ginia the Democrats always carry the
election until election day; then we
carry it,"
