Departures signal drift in West Virginia politics
Charleston The exit of Darrell McGraw from Gov. Hulett Smith's staff marks a broader waning of the Smith administration's image of renewal. McGraw, a young reformer and legal counsel, quit to practice law as political currents shift toward Sprouse and a rebuilt Democratic Party, with Underwood wing quietly backing Sprouse in some quarters. Concurrently, Republican appetite in Arch Moore's governor bid grows as party dynamics shift ahead of the general election. John Callebs announces candidacy for secretary of state, hinting at potential Republican financial backing from Arch Moore.
