Quote – West Virginia’s Democratic Governor, Homer Holt, testimony, Subcommittee of the Committee on Mines and Mining.

Unwise because it is an unnecessary extension of Federal power and would seem to be a step toward the deprecation of State sovereignty. I am one who still believes in the American system of Government the States have important functions and that State sovereignty is a fundamental and inherent principal of the American democracy.

West Virginia’s Democratic Governor, Homer Holt, before the Subcommittee of the Committee on Mines and Mining, “Inspections and Investigations in Coal Mines”.
