Victory for Swisher in state Republican convention
Amid factional clashes in Charleston over gubernatorial選 choice, Charles Wenley Swisher clinches the Republican nomination against Arnold C. Robert as loyalists and corporate interests consolidate. The signing of the Candidates' Pledge and repudiation of the rebel wing mark the Scherr movement's collapse and a clearer political climate. The result also boosts tax reform efforts against big corporations, despite Scherr forces’ last desperate moves.
