Dawson May Be Grooming For Election
Mason County Republicans report letters from Mayor Boone Dawson of Charleston and National Committeeman Walter Hallinan inviting visits in Charleston. Some supporters suspect Dawson plans another bid for West Virginia governor with Hallinan backing him. Hallinan has led the state GOP since the 1920s while Funkhouser’s 1942 U S Senate bid lingers in local memory. The struggle over party leadership, plus efforts to oust Russell Starkey from the board of education, define local politics as Ernest Hesson seeks the Republican sheriff nomination next May and prepares to resign as deputy on December 31.
