Many good policies have in recent
years been put into the statutes OF our
state by the benefcent mind OF the
Republican party. Permit me. to say.
that beyond the perfecting OF the laws
we now have, am not OF opinion that
we at present need extensive new leg
islation. What, we need ,now:yis ac::i
tive and business.like cooperation for.
the uplift OF West Virginia; for the
development of her resources; for the
realization CT her needs. Good faith
among lnen IS itself law.
/ have made, no promises to retain
anybody now In, office, nor to appaoint;
anybody who is out. My conception
Of our state government is greater,
than a view that it is a mere organs
cation for the distribution of patrons;
age. In this mere incident to govern
ment. i shall demand above all else abb
solute. efficiency.
AS a candidate for the nomination,
nv platform is. the simple code Of
truth and honor which / learned ia a.
plain farm house among loure hills
years ago; as the nominee of the Re-
publican party, my. platform will be-
that mad by the party in convention
assem- BLEED; as Governor of West Vir-;;
ginia, my platform will be the consti-
tuition OF the State and the laws made
by the people in pursuance thereof.
