new license taxes are, against their in
terssts. The gubernatorial candidate is
a leader of this kind of campaigning and
he and his followers hope to boost his
cause by this game. The new license
tayleA are not oppressive and it is in
teresting at this juncture to cite Mn
Cornwell's record on the question When
Mr.. Cornwen was in the senate two
years, ago he actually voted for the dis
pensary bill which ahmed to put the
liquor men clear out of business and
place the traffic in the hands of the
state. The bin was modelled on tine
lines of the South Carolina law and was
the most Drastic measure OF its kind
ever introduced in a West Virginia leg
islature. 1t proposed to make the state
the liquor dealer and to put the business
in the hasnds of the state officials. The
bill failed to pass but it was not John
Cornwelps fault and his present pose as
tine friend of the liquor interests is de-
cidedly grotesque and inconsistent
