Editor and Owner
SUBSCRIPTION:

We are pleased to present tC
Chronicle readers this week the
formal announcement of Hon.
John j. Cornwell for the Demo.
cratic nomination for Governor.
It is a fine, clean statement and
should be carefully read by every
voter regardless of politics.
Mr.. Cornwell is by no means
a novice in West Virginia politics,
having served in the sessions Of
the State Senate in 1903 AID 1905
where his eloquent voice was of
ten raised in the defense of the
people against the iniquitous tax
laws which were then being rail
loaded through the legislature by
White and Dawson. In 1904 Mr..
Cornwell was the Democratic
candidate for Governor and des-
lite t1e awful odds against him
was defeated by barely nine thou
sand votes, while the Republican
presidential ticket carried the
state by nearly thirty-two thou
sand.
The announcement of Mr..
Cornwell is in response to a call
that has been sounded by the
Democrats of the state-one so
iusistent that it could not be dis
regarded. Mr.. Cornwell has an
swered in words that are graft
flying, and should he receive the
nomination it will be real pleas
ure for Democrats to go into the
fight against high taxes and ex-
travagance in state government
with such leader.

Hon. John ]. CornweIl
Announces for Governor
To the Democratic Voters of
West Virginia:

To the Democratic Voters of
West Virginia:
have decided to become a can
didate for the nomination fer
Governor on the Democratic tick
ct at the General Primary, in
June.
That decision has been prompt
ed by letters from various sec
tons, personal solicitations, and
the expressions Of some of the
newspapers of the State, coupled
with the fact that the nomination
will be decided by the Individual
voters at primary election.
A native-born West Virginian,
my forty-nine years have been
spent in the State. My life, pub
lie and private, has been an open
book. Ny record, as a member
of the State Senate. had the white
light of publicity turned upon it
In the MEMORABLE campaign of
1904, and despite many misrepre-
sensations. brought 10 embarrss-
ment to the party whose standard
| carried. / need only say ow
to the friends who stood so loyal
ly by me in that struggle against
political odds. crooked deals and
dishonest votes, that while during
the twelve years of private life
since, | have been outspoken and
frank on all public questions,
sometimes wrong, and more
often, perhaps. indiscreet, | have
done nothing for which they or
will be called upon to apologize.
While | shall expect to be in
accord with the platform of my
party upon its fundamental poll
cles, may, nevertheless, say
with propriety, that should l be
nominated and elected, insofar as
it falls to my lot, the laws will be
enforced strictly and impartially,
without regard to wealth, position
or influence of any one. would
use my best efforts to give the
people of the State an Efficient,
business-like administration, hav-
ing in mind that the proper place
to begin tax reforms is in the
matter of expenditures. Public |
spent unnecessarily con-
stitutes a crime against those who !
bear the burden Of taxation, |
while The levying and collecting
Of more tax money than is needed /
lends to breed extravaganza in
expenditures. Every useless of
ice, big or little, begets contempt
for rightful authority. and tends
% undermine faith and confidence
n our governmental institutions.
Hence, | would pledge myself
% stop the growing practice of I
the payrolls of the State |
with appointees, whose tenure of !

rather than by statute law, and |
whose duties are political rather
than governmental.
