Announces Candidacy for Gover

IS" OPPOSED TO RING RULE
Will Also Turn Light On Activities of
Legislative Lobbyists If Elected to
High Office Promises to Conserve
Resources of State and 'Work For
Better System of Highways Op

Formal anuounccmeatjvhfeiniade in
Washington" by Representative A. O.
Stanley that he will seek the Demo
cratic nomication-for governor of Ken
tucky at the primaries next August.
In his statement Mr. Stanley promises
that if elected he will rid" the state
board of valuation and assessment of
all outside influences and that his
administration will be absolutely free
from all taint of ring rule. His state
ment follows:
Mr. Stanley's Statement.
"One of the greatest issues which
will confront the Democracy of Ken
tucky at the ensuing August primary
election will be the control of the
state board of valuation and assess
ment and the tremendous powers in
herent in it. The Democrat who is
to be elected governor must turn a
face of flint toward every proposal to
use this board for putting screws' to
any public service corporation which
may refuse to do its bidding, or for
rewarding with any character of priv
ilege or exemption such corporations
as may agree to become part and par
cel of the political machine. For un
less a governor of Kentucky can keep
clean the board of valuation and as
sessment he can not give an honest,
economical and efficient administra
tion. He is.-in' chains.
"I shall be a candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination for governor of
Kentucky, and I do not desire to be
governor unless I can be free.
Rotation In Office.
"One of the vital issues which the
Democracy of the state will be called
upon to indorse or repudiate is the
principle of endless rotation in office. !
I am convinced that the question of
vhether or not a single coterie of of
ficeholders shall perpetuate them
selves in power by rotating in differ
cnt'offices will be settled in August as
overwhelmingly as the people adopted
that provision in the present state
constitution, which jenders eyery
state official ineligible as his own suc
cessor, vnat clause in me organic
law-was thus heartily indorsed. by the
A. 0. STANLEY.
tion in office to mean, that the same
set shall rptate from one office to -another
and back again every four
years. , . ,
True Function of Governor.
"It is known of all men that Percy
Haly proposes either to nominate him
self as governor of Kentucky or some
respectable figurehead of bis own se
lection whom he can own and con
trol and that men shall 'be ineligible
J to position on the all-powerful board
of assessment and valuation, whose
names do not appear on his exclusive
roll of honor (?). I shall fight with
all the energy I possess and shall ex
ert to the utmost all the authority
vested in me to prevent the intermed
dling by anofficeholding trust or a
retty political 'hierarchy with these or
any other offices in the state, and ,1
shall fight every concerted attempt to
dictate nominations for national, state,
district, or county offices. i
"The function of the governor and
those associated with him Is to trans
act the" "business of the state in such a
way" 'as' to redound to its credit and
to that of his party and the security
and prosperity of the people and not
to construct an endless, chain of office
holders', from street sweeper to chief
magistrate, for the purpose of main
taining perpetually in power a polit
ical triumvirate and a pampered and
protected lobby. I shall fight the
Haly - Rhea - Shackelford triumvirate
now in control as bitterly asT shall
fight any other individual or combina
tion which may seek to pillage our
state.
No Invisible Government.
"I willingly surrendered a seat in
congress to fight above all else that
most insidious and abominable , men
ace to the liberties and property rights
of a free people 'invisible govern
ment' powers nominally vested in
benevolent and respectable figures,
actually exercised by covert and cun
ning emissaries of every favor-seeking
and tax-dodging interest fortunate
enough to have a friend at court.
"If elected governor of Kentucky I
solemnly and earnestly pledge the
people of the commonwealth, here and
now that I will turn the calcium light
upon the lobbyist and upon all who
seek to secure positions of honor or
privilege by any secret or unholy al
liance with him.
The Needs of the State.
"I shall earnestly endeavor, if made
chief magistrate of my native state,
tc. conserve and encourage every
legitimate business and industry,
whether large or small, to encourage
the investment of capital in and the
development of our unrivaled and as
yet almost undeveloped resources; to
promote the construction and opera-
tion of public highways to the end
that our people may find a better and
speedier access to the market, the
mill, the school and the church. As
means to this end, I favor the aboli
tion of prison contract labor and the
employment of Nthe convicts on the
roads of -the state. j
"I .shall vigorously endeavor to pro
tect the citizen from every form of
lawlessness or confiscation; to see
that his person and his property; are
