GOVERNOR'S RACE
Seventh District Congressman Announces Can
didacy For Nomination
Strong Statement of Hi Portion on State Itiues Trib
ute to VVoodrow Wilton
TO THE DEMOCRATS
or
KENTUCKY:
1 have bet n much impressed with
tli campaign conducted l),v numerous
Kt-ni ii ky newspaper demanding ";t
a business ni;in only should In nntn
'n.ited for Covetnor. I mn In sympa
thy with this movement. I have wait
ed for vve.k f'r some outsi .inJi na
I icmncrat anl business tun 11 t an
nounce M candidacy. In fact. I have
on numerous occasions talked with
one f tin- tims! successful business
tuon'iind one of most loyul lento
crat in the State, urging lilm to run
fur the lionionalic nomination for
Governor. aii'I offered my support In
case he should tiiakt the race. This
unili-inan declined to enter the race.
Many active I euioorntic men and
women In all sections of the Stale
have asked nie to stand for the Iotno
cratie nomination for Governor. I
have decided to announce as a can
didate. The fact that I own and operate
$cvera! farms In Scoti and Fiye'te
Jmnt'es I helieve entitles me to he
Jessed as a business man. If I do
$ come under the classification of
imsiness man. then the newspapers
(.minding a Imsiness man for !ov
frnor have shut out of pol'iical run
liilerathm every farmer in the State.
Ylie farmer of today Is as much a
business man as the merchant, broker,
banker or manufacturer. 'Die great
rna.b riry of the business men of K-n-teticky
are farmers, an I helm: one of
them I believe I know i lie; r trials and
hardships, and that If I am elected
eiv nor I can he of service to them
and to the Slate as a whole, because
when the farmer prospers all lines i f
business share in that prosperity.
The chief problems to be solved in
Kentucky are la the main of an agri
cultural nature, and Kentm-I:;.- has nt
bad a farmer governor far almost
forty years. The (iovern.ir of the
S;ate can personally attend to hut a
small part of tie- State's business.
Most of the business nf the State is
actually transacted by those whom the
governor appoints under the laws
passed by the Legislature. The busi
ness of organization is the chief du:y
of li e tlovernor, and it is absolutely
necessary for the welfare of the State
that the (Jovernor work in harmony
Vth the State legislature and the 01-
li.ations of the various State 1 e
.rttnenrs. ''in recent years I have been charged
Vitli the duty of .-citing thousands of
(pen and women into compact work
in organizations, both In a political
ftii I in a business way. In l'.llli 1 was
f-'.'ate Chairman of t lie lemocra :e
Campaign Committee in Kentucky
w hich rolled up a ' majority of nearly
thirty thousand for the leinocratie
ticket, and ill that organization there
were ten thousand active men and
women In the Stale. For three years
I was Slate President of the Society
of Kpilty with Its thousands of farm
er members, and this was the organ
ization which was on of the pioneer
movements- teaching cooperation
aiming the farmers. Years aim this
organization did the work which Is
now being curried on on n larger scale
by several splendid- Farmers' Organ
izations of today.
I mention these matters simply to
slu .wvihat I have had experience on n
lar'.e scale along organization lines,
which make up In part the duties of
the Governor. To properly organize
the many branches of the Slate Gov-"nuu-nt
Is a Job requiring experience
In organization work. 1 am convinced
that the voters of Hie State are more
Interested In the plat forms that the
v:ididates stand for than In ;he can-

I tibial in themselves, and I consider It ,
proper In my' announcement to very
lirleilv state some of the leading l-
mcs which lire of Interest to the cltb
r.vn- of Kentucky. In announcing my-1
self ns a candidate for the I emocra!e ;
nomination for Governor, I wNh to
emphasize the fact that I consider,
the Governorship of our State the,
highest honor which can be given n
Kentucklan, anil I plediro myself to
the people of Kentucky I hat 'fj
elected Governor, under no circum
stances would I seek the Scnatnrshp
or any other office but would till out I
the term completely for which I was
elected. No man In the Governor's
chair can give the State his best s-u--'
vice when he has his eye on s fu
ture political preferment.
I favor a Primary L'lectior. to deter- 1
mine the nomination of the homo-;
cratlc cainlida'e for the Governorship.
I helieve it would be political suicbh'
for our Party to make the nomination
In any other way. Only in a Primary,
Flection can the women voters of the'
State give full expression to their po
litical opinions.
I thinlx the greatest service a pub
lic olliccr can render the State at this
time is to attend str'ctly to the busi
ness of the S'ate and to leave It to
the business men to handle their own
business and to the people to regulate
their own affairs, so hng as they do
not violate our present laws. To make
it still plainer. I think we have enough
laws at present regulating the bus'
ncss and tin- every-day life of the,
people. I
There is a irmionfy in the comity
today to keep piling on the statute
bonks laws regiilatiag the hitj'ie.ss u.nl
private affairs of the cltl..ens. I am '
of the opinion that it Is the part of
wisdom that we learn our present;
laws and obey them rather than "i;
bring into disrepute all law by further'
restrictive legislation. j
If 1 am elected Governor, all laws
oil the statute hooks will he thor
oughly an. I carefully enforced as far
a toy powers will reach. The chief
concern in tb State and Nation to- ,
day is the strict enforcement of law j
and the absolute maintenance of peace'
and order. For the security of the
Individual and for the protection of
! property rights, law and order must lie
j mail tained. ..i
If elected !o err.or, 1 pledge the
j best that Is within me to carry out
' this statement.
If elected, pardons will he scarce at

our Stale must be bettered along this
line.
High taxation Is "the sore spot with

If elected Governor. I will call tr

men ill dllTetelir lines and seek the 1
counsel and support in solving th
many dilhcitlt problems which oui
front our people. No man can solve
these pro! Ictus alone, and the can

worst type of a demagogue seeking

political promises and absolutely fret
from any help or promise of help in
anyway from any business linn 01
corporation anywhere.
It Is well known to the State that
for years I have been an advocate of
cooperative organization among the
farmers. Farming Is the chief busi
ness in Kentucky nnd I am delighted
that our cooperative organizations are
proving no successful. I congratulate
