By the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company, Louis
Bennett, who was the nominee in 1908, being sup
posed exception.
Mr.. Cornwell in 1904 was in the relation of an
employee and entitled to the courtesy of an en-
ployee's pass. This year he enjoys the same priv.
lege. In 1912 the Democratic nominee was an en-
ployee OF the Baltimore & Ohio and during his cam
pagn over the northern part of the state used this
B. y Q. pass while appealing to the voters.
The same Mr.. Cornwell who opposed the railway
men in their efforts to secure the full crew episa-
Itton In West Virginia in 1914+who declared that
the full crew law had object save to force the
saitkay company to employ more men and to ex-
Pond vast sums of money for unnecessary labor:
eshos declared that the employees were seeking to
inttmdate candidates to promise the passage of
lsws compelling the employment of thousands Of
mep not needed; the same Mr. Cornwell who char.
Iaeterized the conduct Of the railway employees as
