the Democratic nomination for Governor of West Virginia.
State Attorney General William
Wallace (Wally)) Barron filed for
gover,nor of West Virginia on the

year old Elkins native, explaining
why he wanted to be governor
said:
"I have done so becauseI be-
lieve I have a program acceptable
to all segments of our economy
and which will be beneficial to all
of our citizens."
In a decisive manner, Barron.
who has been described by a state
writer as a man with "a quiet re-
servo4r of o~nfidence and cour-
age", pinpointed the "many ser-
ious problems facing us."
He emphasized: "Unemploy-
ment is our major problem and
must be overcome. My primary
consideration will be to provide
ishing tourist, trade must be de-
veloped and maintai,ned. While
our enthusiasm for our interstate
,highway program is highly com-
mendable, we must still empha-
size secondary and primaxy road
construction."
On schools, Barron had this to
say: "Vigorous, straight-forward
action must be taken to solve our
school problems for the quality of
our schools will determine the fate
of our future."
The former State Legislator
pointed out that "West Virginia is
one of our more fortunate states
blessed with abu,ndant natural re-
sources sufficient to revitalize our
sagging economy."
"All that is needed is a pro-
gram that will harness our ener-
gies in the building of a strong,
dynamic, prosperous state.

" "Yes, indeed!
"Virginia, your little friends am
wrong. They have been affected by
the skepticism of a skeptical age--they do not believe except what they see--they think
that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds.
"All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are
little.
"'lu this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant,
in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him,
as measured by the intelli.
geoce capable of grasping
the whole of t r u t h and
knowledge.
"Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.
"He exists as certainly as love and generosity and de-
~,~ votion exist, and you know that they abound and give
to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how
dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Ciaos!,
It would be as dreary as if there were no Virgmias. There would be no childlike faith then,
no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We
should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eter.
nal light which childhood fills the world would be extin- (0
guished.
"Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in
fairies!
"You might get your papa to hire men to watch ia all the
chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus
coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus,
things in the world are those neither children nor men can see.
"Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not,
but that's no proof that they are not there--nobody can conceive
or imagine all the wonders that are unseen and uuseeable in the
world.
"'You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, bus there is a veil
covering the unseen world which not the strongest maa, or even the united strength of all
the strongest men, that ever lived, could tear apart.
Only taith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push
aside the curtain and view and picture the supernal
beauty and glory beyond.
)
"Is it all real. qah, Virginia, in all this world there
is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus!
"Thank God!--he lives, and he lives forever---a
thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten thou-
sand years from now, he will continue to make glad
she heart of childhood."
