A more equitable plan of taxation. Economical administration. Development of natural resources. Extension of co-operative marketing. Assurance of clean elections.

Rigid law enforcement. "We waged our fight before the people upon these principles." he said, "and they accepted them in no uncertain terms.

The retiring Governor also expressed his thanks to the people of Frankfort for their "charming hospitality, their genuine confidence, their love and affection." In introducing Mr.

Fields, Mr. Morris said that if the campaign slogan, "Let Kentucky go forward," is to be fulfilled, the present educational system must be extended, highways must be constructed, penal and charitable institutions must be better equipped and the burden of taxation must be equitably distributed. He described Fields as having 'the simplicity and faith of Jefferson, the courage and devotion to duty of 'Old Hickory' Jackson and the will and ability of Woodrow Wilson."

The unanimity attained by the powers after months of discussion and many failures, in the opinion of President Coolidge.
