enough educational fire and fundn-
mental Americanism to see TO II that
every adult illitcrate has a chance TO
learn TO read and write and that not
another illiterate is grown In Ken
lucky. War has demonstrated the
waste and the tragedy OF illiteracy.
TITS high duty OF the Commons
wealth TO disseminate health
information among the masses.
to build up n good health sentiment,
to protect the people against pre-
ventablc diseases and assist them In
having healthy bodies in which their
minds can work Conserving the vi
tality and health OF the people con-
tributes to their happiness and eco
nomic productivity.
TT UNIVERSAL progress begins
and ends with the soil. I'm
proved agriculture Is a fun
damental proposition and one or
monumental Importance to every
citizen of the state. The growth
and progress of our State depend
largely upon the success OF the
farmer, the most important citizen
in the land. believe in every sane
and democratic effort fostered in the
interest of rural unfit and in dis
seminating agricultural information
among tho masses. Kentucky needs
more fields of alfalfa, more agricul-
tural limestone and less political
birthstone.
III 1T, greater Kentucky and the
larger democracy must he ac-
com olished by perfecting the
tax and the road laws. correcting
every wrong that may cxis. and by
organizing the finances Of the state
upon sound, equitable and JUST
tasis. II stand for efficiency in all
of the departments of State govern
n,ent and for economy in their man
agemcrt. Fverv dollar paid by the
peon'c i~tn the treasury of tho COM
monwealth shall procure its full
worth in honest service. and every
leak in the treasury shall be stopped
to the end that taxes may be lesser n
ed and the expense of public business
reduced so far ms NAV be compatible
with the welfare of the State.
WELCOME with enthusiasm the
good roads sentiment that pre-
walls throughout the State. 1t Is
impossible to estimate its meaning to
the moral and Industrial development
of Kentucky. I have always been an
earnest advocate of good roads and l
shall. have special. interest in doing
all I can in promoting the bnilding
and mainteiring Of good roads IN
every section OF the State.
