laws at present regulating the bust
ness and the everyday life of the
people.
There is a tendency in the country
today to keep piling on the statute
books laws regulating the business and
private affairs of the citizens. l am
of the opinion that it is the part of
wisdom that we learn our present
laws and obey them rather than to
bring into disrepute all law by further
restrictive legislation.
If 1 am elected Governor, all laws
on the statute books will be thor
oughly and carefully enforced as far
as my powers will reach. The chief
concern in tho State and Nation to-
day is the strict enforcement of law
and the absolute maintenance of peace
and order. For the security of the
individual and for the protection Of
property rights, law and order must be
maintained.
If elected Governor, I pledge the
best that is within me to carry out
this statement.
If elected, pardOns will be scarce at
Frankfort, especially for the crime of
taking human life. The reputation Of
our State must be bettered along this
line.
High taxation is the sore spot with
the people in the State and Nation.
The legislative branch of our State
Government writes the tax laws, but
if elected Governor 1 will work with
the Legislature in every way possible
to bring about the lowering of our tax
es. AS a farmer l know what the
burden of taxation is to the farmer
and business man and home owner,
and every effort must be made to re-
duce taxation
The time has come when a halt
must be called in increasing our State
debt, and every effort to reduce it
must be made. The obligations of
debt are made by the State Legisla-
ture and not by the Governor, but if
l am elected 1 will earnestly insist
that State expenditures be kept with
in the revenue so that our debt will
not be increased in the next Admin
istratiOn. Every effort must be made
to reduce the State debt and if I am
elected the veto power will be used
to the limit to keep the appropriations

teucky are farmers, and being one of
them / believe / know their trials and
hardShips, and that if l am elected
Governor / can be of service to them
and to the State as a whole, because
when the farmer prospers all lines Of
business share in that prosperity.
The chief problems to be solved in
Kentucky are in the main of an agri-
cultural nature, and Kentucky has not
had a farmer Governor for almost
forty years. The Governor of the
State can personally attend to but a
small part of the States business
Most Of the business of the State is
actually transacted by those whom the
Governor appoints under the laws
passed by the Legislature. The bust
ness of organization is the chief duty
of the Governor, and it is absolutely
necessary for the welfare of the State
that the Governor work in harmony
with the State Legislature and the or
CARNATIONS of the various State De-
partments.
In recent years / have been charged
with the duty of getting thousands of
men and women into compact work
ing organizations, both in a political
and in a business way In 1916 l was
State Chairman of the Democratic
Campaign Committee in Kentucky
which rolled up majority Of nearly
thirty thousand for the Democratic
ticket, and in that organization there
were ten thousand active men and
women in the State. For three years
/ was State President of the Society
of Equity with its thousands of farm
er members, and this was the organ
iZatiOn which was one Of the pioneer
| movements teach ing cooperation
among the farmers. Years ago this
! organization did the work which is
now being carried on on a larger scale
| by several splendid Farmers Organ
| iZatiOns of today.
L mention these matters simply to
show that l have had experience on a
large scale along organization lines,
which make up in part the duties of
the Governor. To properly organize
the many branches of the State Gov.
eminent is job requiring experience
in organization work / am convinced
that the voters of the State are more
interested in the platforms that the
candidates stand for than in the can.

TO THE DEMOCRATS OF
KENTUCKY:

1 have been much impressed with
the campaign conducted by numerous
Kentucky newspapers demanding that
business man only should be NOM
mated for Governor / am in sympa-
thy with this movement. 1 have wait
ed for weeks for some outstanding
Democrat and business man to an
nOunce his candidacy. In fact, 1 have
on numerous occasions talked with
one of the most successful business
men and one of the most loyal Demo
Gratis in the State, urging him to run
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor, and offered my support in
case he should make the race. This
gentleman declined to enter the race.
Many active Democratic men and
women in all sections of the State
have asked me to stand for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor. /

not come under the classification of
a business man, then the newspapers

sideratiOn every farmer in the State.

didates themselves, and I consider 1t
proper in my announcement to very
briefly state some of the leading is
sues which are of interest to the citi-
zens Of Kentucky. In announcing my
self as candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Governor, l wish to
emphasize the fact that / consider
the Governorship of our State the
highest honor which can be given a
Kentuckian, and l pledge myself to
the people of Kentucky that If
elected Governor, under no circum-
stances would 1 seek the SenatOrship
or any other office but would fill out
the term completely for which 1 was
elected. No man in the Governors
chair can give the State his best SER
vice when he has his eye on some fu-
ture political preferment.
1 favor Primary Election to deter
mine the nomination of the Demo-
cratic candidate for the GOvernOrship.
/ believe 1t would be political suicide
for our Party to make the nomination
in any other way. Only in a Primary
Election can the women voters of the
State give full expression to their pO-
litical opinions.
/ think the greatest service a pub
lie officer can render the State at this
time is to attend strictly to the bust
ness of the State and to leave it to
the business men to handle their own
business and to the people to regulate
their own affairs, so long as they do
not violate our present laws. To make
it still palmer, 1 think we have enough
