Judge Xathuu (loff. in a telegram
to th»- Parkersburg D*p»tch-Xe«t‘,
replying to a message sent by that
paper gives bis lost word, declining
to accept the leadership of a re
united party In West Virginia, and
to become Its standarl bearer for
governor, on the withdrawal of th
rival Republican candidates.
At the same time he expresses hi
thanks for the esteem which
prompted the request, and his re
gret that he would be compellel to
refuse the mil of the country and
of West Virginia Republicanism.
Thus aga n. says the Dispatch
News, was the whole situation
thrown into chaos, nnd the real
statuR Is hard to define. Swlshei
ngnvj to withdraw on the proposi
tion of Seller r if Goff would ac
cept and Goff has repeatedly de
clined.
Decision is l-inal.
There wus hope yesterday and
telegrams by the score were sent
from West Virginia to the chosen
leader at Milwaukee, where he is
v siting his son. But the telegram
received by the Dispatch-News last
n ght canuot be mistaken, and It is
certain that Goff is out of it.
Temporarily at least the whole
Scherr-Swisher compromise, which
had an Elkins string to it. is an
nulled, ami left as if never made
Both the candidates are in the rac
to all purposes without a common
meeting ground between them on
which to harmonize differences.
Both headquarters have resumed
work for the tickets they repre
sent but this work had been boguri
yesterday only pending the final
word. Both will now' work, it i.^
presumed, ns if the fight were to he
carried to the polls.
Want to Xante the Man.
That it will not be is the belief
of astute politicians who know the
inner workings. The next mov ■ will
be the suggestion of a candidate
of the Elktns-Swisher-Matthew
chooeing.
Judge GofT was suggested by Gov.
Seherr because he was a man
around whom all Republicans could
rally, a true loader, honest and im
partial. But for that very reason
he was distasteful to Elkins, who
saw danger to himself In a “leader”
whom he could not lead. Elkins
did his best to block the Goff pro
posal, an 1 It may be that Judge Goff
was influenced to an extent by tin
fact that there was this opposition.
Now. It is believed, realizing tin
defeat of the candidate nominated
by the machine, the Rlklns-Mat
tliews outfit will sugegst a man
whom they can handle, as the “com
promise’’ candidate.
Hitchcock fo Act.
The next few days will witness
developments, as the lase will h**
brought trt Chairman Hitchcock’
attention In "New York tomorrow.
Hitchcock, according to an Associa
ted Press dispatch from New York,
will not seek to act as peacemaker
in and for the party in West Virgin
ia. He will merely seek to have
hostilities suspended until after the
presidential election. Then so far
ts he Is concerned it can be “lay
on McDuff.”
Tills Is taken to mean, In fact it
Is almost as clearly rftated, that
Hitchcock will seek to have both
factions unite on a man to lead the
tight this ypar. Then the party in
ferences can be fought ito a finish
at a t me when there is no danger
of carrying down a Republican
president and Republican congress
men with It.
The national commltte had thl
in mind when it took so firm a han 1
a few days ago on 1he West Vir
ginia situation, and urged the com
promise and agreement of Goff.
Hitchcock, when he gets hold, it is
believed, will s’ralghton out the tan
gled hi. sh.
