wherein he is charged with attempting
to bride two members OF the Public
Service Commission Of The State OF
West Virginia"
All Of these facts which l am citing
Mr.. Cornwell knows, but he is willing
to twist my efforts to protect the
states best interests into an insru.
men OF subterfuge to malign and mis-.
represent me, hoping by SO doing to
prejudice the minds Of some of the
people. There Is no more positive
proof Of the accuracy Of this assertion
than when he refuses to meet me upon
the stump or lay his hand specifically
upon principles for which have stood
and which have been enacted into law
since l became governor that he would
expunge from the statute laws of our
state. l challenge him to repudatc
any one OF the constructive principles
which has been made u part Of the
statutes of this commonwealth that
he would eliminate.
Mr.. Cornwell speaks of the impert-
inence OF the Interrogation addressed
to me by Mr.. OXley as to my telephone
bills for July. This expenditure in
cludes more than the month of July,
and this Mr.. Cornwell knows, but he
Is not willing to acknowledge or give
to the people through his representa-
tive the truth.
Since he has seen fit to indulge in
the personal. Mr.. Cornwcll should
tell the people of the state If it is not
true that he has been travelling over
the state on railroad pass as we'll as
a Pullman Company pass. Does he
consider that within the sphere OF
proprety Of a candidate for Governor?
l charge him as being guilty of these
practices.
Since Mr.. Cornwell has raised these
issues. and since he has refused to &C.
cept my challenge to meet upon the
stump. 1t is my purpose to take the
platform in West Virginia, and IL he
is really DESTROYS OF having good at.
tendance at his meetings would again
urge him to accept my challenges so
an opportunity will be given TO dis
cuss the issues that he has raised
against my administration.

satisfy the most skeptical as to nv

Mr.. Cornwell further inquiries as to

This expenditure has likewise been
reported to the legislature and was
made the subject, at my request, of a
special investigation conducted by a
special committee appointed by the
House OF Delegates consisting Of three
Republicans and two Democrats. Mr.
Cornwell strongly implies that this
money was paid out by me for my per

WHY BREAD PRAISES"


Washington, Oct. 13.-The extent of
increases in the price of bread or de-
creases in the weight of loaves during
the four months from May 5 to Sep
TENDER 1 > is detailed in figures from
forty-five of the country's principal
Industrial centers, made public today
by the bureau of la Dor statistics
Bakers gave as reason the increased
cost of materials and ingredients,
especially flour. OF 20 brands of
bread that retailed for cents and
weighed fifteen ounces or over on
May Is, only fourteen remained at the
same price and weight on Septem-
Der Is.
Comparative figures regarding
wheat flour prices and the average
retail price of bread show that the
wholesale price of wheat was "a per
cent greater on September Is than on
May Is; the wholesale price of flour
81 per cent higher, the retail price %
per cent higher for the same period
and the average retail price of bread
was IL per cent higher. The retail
price of bread per pound before bak-
ing in May was $.056, in September it
was S.O62.
