Col. Roosevelt ami
Louis Marshall Ask j
Election of Miller,
Republican Governor Would
Insure Co-operation Be- !
tween the Executive and
the Legislative Branches
Colonel Theodore Rooa?velt and
Louis Marshall yesterday issued ap?
peals for the election of Judge Nathan '
L. Miller.
.Mr. Marshall, who was one of the;
leaders of the Constitutional Conven?
tion of 1915, in telling why he wanted
to see Judge? Miller defeat Governor
Smith, said that his election would
insure nn administration which would
be thorough, scientific, economic and
effective.
"I have known him intimately for
more than twenty years," said Mr.
Marshal!. "During 'that time, he has
been State Comptroller and a judge of
the Appellate Division of the First and j
Second Departments and of the Court;
ot* Appeals. In all of these offices he j
displayed remarkable capacity . and
proved himself to be one of the best
public servants that the statu has
ever had.
"If 1 were to mention his strongest
characteristics they would be his re?
markable common sense, his accuracy
f judgment and hi* grasp of questions
of public policy, lie understands the
m?i!s of the state and of all of its
people. He is thoroughly grounded in
the fundamentalst of our commercial ?
and industrial"life and has studied pro- ,
foundly the problems in the proper ;
solution of which every citizen is di
rectly concerned.
Mind Is Constructive
"Without saying anything deroga i
tory to his opponent I feel warranted ?
in declaring that in the present exi- ;
geney the good of the state would be
: best promoted by the election of Judge
Miller. That would give an absolute
guaranty that the public business
would be conducted thoroughly, scien?
tifically, economically and effectively."
Roosevelt Asks Cooperation
Colonel Roosevelt urged the el?ction
of a Republican Governor to insure co?
operation between the legislative and \
executive branches.
"Elect Nathan Miller Governor, re-!
elect the Republican Legislature," said j
Colonel Roosevelt. "Give us the un- j
divided responsibility and hold us ac- !
countable." i
Colonel Roosevelt pointed out that in !
the last two years the Governor was aj
Democrat and the Legislature con?
trolled by the Republicans, with the
result: that policies were mutually I
blocked and beneficial legislation had .
to give way while both sides jockeyed
for political advantage.
Roosevelt Says Demoerats
Have Made Uphill Fight
Cox's Running Mate Tells of;
Diffirulty Because of 4kRepub?
Iican -Controlled" Press
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Governor
Cox's running mate, issued a final cam
paign statement yesterday, in which he
reviewed the urhi'l fight waged by
Governor ("'ox and himself, saying that
it was difficult to bring both sides of
the campaign before the voters, "be?
cause a large majority of the news- :
nap^rs have passed into Republican ;
control."
Mr. Roosevelt's statement follows, in i
part:
"Governor Cox and I have made a
very sincere effort to point out the
basic rather than the superficial issues !
of the campaign. If the voters realize
that this is a deep-seated struggle be- ,
tween two different conceptions of gov?
ernment-that is, it is the old tight bo- i
tween the progressively minded and the
reactionists the results on Election
Day will furnish an overwhelming sur?
prise to the old-fashioned prognostica?
te r.
"The whole conduct of the campaign
in regard to the single paramount issue
of the League of Nations is in line
with the foregoing. On the one side a
clear-cut program for the future for
the carrying out of the highest purpose
of our participation in the war, for the
progressive accomplishment of a new
purpose; on th< other side a backward
going policy which would rc-'-ult in a
return to the international relation
of 1914, or a policy of American
?.;?.! isolation, with i13 correspond
' g burden of huge armaments.
' These are the fundamentals. A re
alization of them by the men and
?vomen of the United States Election
Pay will bring only one possible re
sult the repudiation of Senator Har?
ding as the representative of reaction
at home and abroad."

Smith Declares I
Clean Record
Means Victory
Says People Never Fail to
Reward a Man When
He Gives to Them the
Best That Is In Him?
75,000 Lead Forecast
Democratic Chiefs Assert;
Governor Will Carry Uie
Greater City by 349,800
Governor Alfred E. Smith last night
predicted his reelection, declaring that
the ival issue bctwe?. n him and his op- j
ponent is that he believes in a progres?
sive government which recognises that '.
the state is not something separate i
from the people who compose it, while I
Judge Miller holds to the contrary.
"I am confident of reelection," said j
Governor Smith, "because when a man
has given the best that is in him the
great mass- of the people never fail to
recognize it, no matter what, attempts
are made to mislead them in the course
of a partisan campaign.
"I have appealed to the voters on my
record. Now that the campaign is over
I ask whether a single substantial criti?
cism has been directed against that.
record. The greater number of even
my political adversaries have been
frank enough to admit that the affairs
of the state have been well conducted
during my administration.
Attacks Republican Platform
"My whole campaign han been a
challenge to the Republican party in
this state to attack my record and my
constructive program. Not oniy have
they been unable to do so. but they
have been so handicapped by their own
state platform that neither the candi?
date for the Governorship nor any
other person concerned has been able to
discuss or defend it. They have taken
refuge behind the importance?to them
? of a victory for the Republican party
in the state. If this argument of theirs
prevails, all incentive is lost for ?n
administrator in a democracy to en?
deavor, as I have endeavored, to give
the best that is in him to all the people.
"Of course I am receiving and deep?
ly appreciate the loyal support of the
Democratic organization. But I desire
also at this time to express my
deep gratitude to the many independ?
ent voters and leaders not connected
j in any way with the Democratic or?
ganization who have been fighting for
j rny reelection. I can assure them and
; the public that T realize fully what
| this indorsement and support means to
| me, and I pledge myself during my
next term to do everything in my
power to corltinue to deserve their sup?
port.
"The real issue between Judge Mil?
ler and me is that I stand for the pro?
gressive kind of government which rec?
ognized that the state is not some?
thing separate from the people who
compose it. Judge Miller differs with
me in this. I believe in direct pri?
maries. Judge Miller believes they
are, in his words, 'a fraud and a de?
lusion.' I believe in conserving for
the state the lives and bodies of its
men, women and children by proper
welfare and factory laws. Judge Mil?
ler believes this is paternalism. I be?
lieve that the state should concern
itself with the development of its own
waterpower and laws to encourage the
production of decent and sufficient
housing and with the reorganization
of its own machinery of government.
Judge Miller thinks the state should
have nothing to do with these things.
"I might sum it up by saying that I
believe in the 1920 brand of govern?
ment, while Judge .Miller believ?s in
the 1890 brand. I have accomplished
much during my first term, but there
is more of my program left to be
accomplished. I have the ambition to
be allowed to finish my job for my
fellow citizens, and when they elect me
on Tuesday the voters of this state can
be perfectly sure of all my effort, all
my energy and all my devotion to
make this grea* State of New York an
even better place to live in."
Governor Smith did not enter into
any details regarding ligures, but his
managers claim his election by close to
75,000. David Proskauer, chairman of
the Citizens' Committee, said that his
vote upstate would be increased at
?east. 25 pe. cent this year over 1918,
wh?le Sheriff David IT. Knott, chairman
of the New York County Democratic
Committee, declared that the Governor
would carry Greater New York by 349,
800. This is more than 82,000 in excess
of the record-breaking plurality rolled
up for the Governor two years ago.
"My estimate is based on figures I
have received from all parts of the
city," said Sheriff Knott. "I look for
the Governor to carry the city by about
350,000, yvhile I am giving Judge Miller
a piurahty of 270,000 above the Bronx
- -a very liberal estimate."
The New York City pluralities fore?
cast for Governor Smith by Sheriff
Knott follow: Manhattan, 145.000;
Kings, 100 000; th Bronx, 5G.0O0;
Queens, 41.000; Richmond, 7,800.

Morris Hillquit told his audience at

this year to "tear the veil of fraud and ,
hypocrisy from the spokesmen of both
old parties."
"We will say to them," he continuad: ?
"'Gentlemen, the one ^ingl" over?

whether the American workers will
permit you to continue to misgovern
and oppress them, or whether they
will throw you off their backs, take the

abolish forever your iniquitous rule of

"The i>--sue is between capitalist
tyranny and working <:'.:<-. freedom,
between the old slavery and the new

Democratic parties as one, and the So?
cialist party alone.
"Open lawlessness, brutal oppression

There is lawlessness in the White
House and its unsanctioned wars with
foreign countries: there is lawlessness
and tyranny in the Department of Jus?
tice, as in the Postoffico Department;
there is open defiance of the funda?
mental principles of representative
government in Washington as in Al?
bany; there is despotic and irresponsi?

The Cox train left Chicago last night
: and reached Dayton this morning. Be
? fore leaving the train the Governor held
! an informal leave-taking with news?
paper corrspondents yho have been
with him through the major portion of
his campaigning and who were leaving
for their respective homes to vote. He.
; left his special train about 9:30 o'clock
and went direct to Trailsend, where he
i spent the day quietly with his family.
| In the afternoon Governor Cox put on
; some old clothes and went for a long
: tramp through the woods, returning
: covered with mud, but with a quickened
1 stride and with color in his cheeks
! where tne brisk late October air had
whipped them. He said his walk w$s
: the first real exercise he had had in
\ weeks and that he had thoroughly cn
; joyed it.
After dinner Governor Cox held an
eleventh-hour conference with Senator
Pat Harrison, chairman of the speak
I crs' bureau of the Democratic organi
zation, and was told that Democratic
chances never looked better, with
every one clamoring to get on the band
wagon. Harrison told Cox there was
nothing left to do but to count the bal?
lets. Cox then retired, leaving word
: that he was not to be disturbed under
\ any circumstances.
Cox announced to-day that late in
the coming week, regardless of how the
election should turn out, he is going
; to make a trip to Mississippi, where he

Alaska, Too, Almost Certain
to Send Republican as
Its Delegate lo Congress
SEATTLE, Oct. 31.?That there is
every reason to expect a sweeping Re?
publican victory in all three Pacific
Coast stater, and Alaska is evident
''rom a digest made of the informatior
received in the last few days from in
dependent news sources along th.
Coast.
Harding's victory in Washington
California and Oregon is conceded, ex
cept in those official Democratic circle
where a campaign must bo kept going
For the last two weeks in Se.it c!
wagers have been posted offering eve:
money t'n.Ti Harding; will defeat Co
two to one in Washington, cr that h

neither offer has been taken.
In California the officia! estimate
of Harding's majority place the figure
at 200,000, hu? newspaper experts a,
.clare he may sweep the state by froi
*100,000 to 350,000, the Cox fight ha^
ing been abandoned. Oregon's m;
jority will be much smaller, but thi
Harding will carry it is a rock-ribbe
certainty.
Conditions in Alaska
Alaska, of course, does not vote for
President, but the Northern territory
seems to be in a mood to send a Re?
publican to Congress as Delegate and
the rival Republican factions seem to
be ready to forget their differences.
Alaska's Delegateship seat is now con?
tested by James Wickcrsham, who is
a rather erratic sort of Republican
who has gone to Congress as a
straight party man, a Progressive and
an Independent, and George B. Grigsby,
Democrat, who was seated on a prima
facie showing.
Grigsby's predecessor, Charles a.
Sul/.er, was a Democrat, and when he
died in 1918 while on h?3 way from the
I mining town named for him to Ketchi
kan there was a question whether he or
Wickersham had been elected. The
fact is that Alaska never has had a
Republican Delegate who was in har?
mony with all Alaskan factions, and
it has had several Dem?crata in Con
; gress.
Now Dan Sutherland seems almost
certain to defeat George Grigsby.
Wickersham indorsed Sutherland and
he was nominated without, opposition.
Grigsby, in campaigning for reelection,
claimed that Sutherland could not work
in harmony with the Republican or
. ganization and, therefore, patronage
questions could be handled better by
; a Democrat who was willing to take
j orders from a Republican committee
man than by Sutherland.
.1. C. McBride, the Republican N?tional
. Committeeman from Alaska, advertised
? in all the Alaska newspapers that he
i and Sutherland were in perfect har
! mony. Literally interpreted, this was
; an intimation to McBride's friends to
. disregard the Democratic candidate and
? get behind Sutherland. In the opinion
j of oldtime Alaskans this removed the
j last doubt about Sutherland's election.
; There are some purely local issues in?
volved in some of Alaska's other elec?
tion contests.
Governor Cox Abandoned
In the three Pacific Coast states the
! Democratic lights are not being weged
'? for the national ticket. In fact, Gov?
ernor Cox has been abandoned by the
three state organizations. Bringing
the story home to Washington, the
? dominant Democratic faction in this
; state sought ami obtained control of
the organi'ation to be in litte for pat
; ronage favors if Cox could win with?
out Pacific Coast support, and away
down deep this faction has been sat?
isfied ail along that Cox could not
carry the load of the present Ad?
ministration and win.
Very similar conditions exist both in
Oregon and California. In the latter
state Cox appealed to prejudice, in
north California by lauding Senator
Hiram Johnson and in the southern
part of the state by intimating he
heeded a Cabinet member like HerberJ
: Hoover, but newspaper political ex
perts reporting on the California sit?
uation say Cox made no impression,
There is every reason to expect that

A New Idea in
Chain Stores
'the phenomenal growth of the chain store is
the conspicuous mercan-tile development of the
decade.
Huge buying and jobbijjg resources give a
certain advantage not enjoyed by the independ?
ent retailer.
On the other hand, absentee ownership with
salaried management seems less efficient, as a
rule, when contrasted with owner management.
For the small independent merchant menaced
by chain store competition there is one obvious
way to fight fire with fire.
By selling trade-marked, standardized, na?
tionally advertised goods, a merchant can ally
himself with enormous aggregate manufacturing
capital.
This provides equal buying facility, and in
addition to this comparative advantage of the
chain store, add-s the undoubted profit in a wide?
spread, public following for individually adver
ti?*ed brands.
For example, the aggregate manufacturing
capital behind a moderately stocked grocery store
is some $1,200,000,000, with a combined national
advertising campaign of more than $50,000,000.
Even the smallest store may thus become one
of a chain protected by this national barrage fire.

Republicans Expect Cains
California has a Democratic Senator,
and one Prohibition and four Demo?
cratic representatives in its Congr-?s- ;
sional delegation. In the California bet?
ting places the odds yesterday were 10
to 8 in favor of the election of Samuel
M. Shortridge, the Republican candi?
date for United States Senator, over
John D. Phelan, the Democratic incum?
bent. Republican leaders also expect
to make gains in the House.
Oregon expects to return its three
Republican members of the Hou-.e. and
Republicans in that state are waging
: a hard tight to elect Senator Robert
; \\ Stnnfield, who probably is the great
i est wool producer in the United States.
He is running against George E.
! Chamberlain, the Democratic candidate
! for reelection, who has held such office
| as he wanted from District Attorney in
j Multnomah County to Governor and
I Senator, alwavs winnine by Republican
I aid.
Administration Democrats are run- !
? ning Thomas A. Hayes in the expeeta- [
tion of drawing a great deal of Demo- j
cratic support from Chamberlain. The j
outcome, of course, is uncertain, but j
Republicans are hopeful. The only fight
aver House members ?n Oregon that]
i attracts much attention is that between :
Representative C. N, MacArthu.r, Hepub- i
; lican incumbent, und Dr. Esther Pohl '
j Lovejoy, the Democratic an?! Prohibi
| tion candidate. Portland advices indi?
cate MacArthur will win. He is from
a pioneer family and well known.
i In all three states reports of over
; confidence are current, in Washington '
i Republican leaders figure that over- j
: confidence, which might keep away j
I many voters from the polls, is the only !
'? danger they face. Therefore a strong
appeal to vote and induce Republican \
neighbors to vote is being made this j
week.
Campaign Managers
Let Up on Work To-day ?
Candidates and their managers will '
have a comparative rest to-day and to- |
morrow the real work of the wheel
horses of the various parties will be- '.
gin getting out the vote.
Chairman Will H. Hays will receive^
the returns at his private office at Re?
publican National Headquarters, and
his aids and their friends will have an
entire floor of headquarters for tabulat?
ing the vote as it comea in from news?
paper ?ftices and over special wires
from state chairmen the country over.
Similar arrangements arc being
made at Democratic National Head?
quarters, where George White and his
staff and their friends will foregather
to-morrow evening.
At Republican headquarters yester-:
day officials all declared that the only
question which remained to be an
j swered was just how big a plurality'
! Harding and Coolidge will roll up.
Chairman White, at Democratic
I headquarters, said reports indicated j
i that a great wave of sentiment for the ,
! League of Nations is sweeping the na- ?
j tion.
One of the final bits of literature,
| turned out by the Democratic Publicity
| Bureau was the announcement that |
?"George Creel, the well known writer," :
?matched the President with his check:
for SGOO.
| Wilson Telegram Read
BOSTON. Oct. 31.?A telegram from
President Wilson was read at a meet?
ing in Symphony Hall to-night in the !
interests of the League of Nations.
Addressed to John F. Moors, chairman
of the meeting, it read:
''I wish I could be present to give
proof of my great interest in the noble
objects of your meeting. Never before
have our people been, called upon to i
pass judgment upon so vital an issue. !
I am confident that we can rely upon
the men and women of all parties in
Massachusetts to support and sustain ,
the great cause of the League of Na?
tions."
The name of the President was re- ;
peatedly applauded. Among the speak?
ers were Hamilton Holt, of New York;
Miss Margaret Prescott Montague, the
Rev. Samuel M. Crothers and Ray
Stannard Baker. All urged the elec?
tion of Cox and Roosevelt as the only
way to insure entrance of this country j
into the league.
Socialists Charge
Election Plot; Ask
Police Protection
___________
Local Party Secretary Says
Scheme Is to Put Out the
Lights in Voting Booths
and Then Steal Ballots
Charges that information in the poo
session of Socialists here shows that
leaders of the two major parties have
conspired to steal the election in four
Congressional districts where fusion
candidates are opposing Socialist? were
! made yesterday in letters to the Board
j of elections and to Police Commission
I er Knright.
I Julius Gerber, executive Beeret ry
| of the New York County Socialist party,
! who made the charges, asked that the
i Socialists he given police protection in
j the affected districts so that there will
I not be a recurrence of the scenes of
i two years ago, when Socialist watchers
i were beaten as the ballots were Heine
counted.
Police protection was denied the So?
cialists two years ago. Gerber de?
clared, and he asked Police Commis?
sioner Knright to see that special nvn
are assigned to the l_th. 13th, 14th and
20th Congressional districts.
"There is conspiracy afoot," wrote
Mr. Gerbei to the officials, "to steal
the election from the Socialists by
turning ?ut the lights in several poll?
ing places, and while the lights are
out to steal the Socialist balb'ts, which
will be sorted out by parties in vio?
lation of law."
Mr, Gerber suggests that policemen
be specially detailed to watch the
?switches controlling the lights in the
polling booths and that all policemen
assigned to election - ork in these four
Congressional districts b<? given flasv
lightn to be tamed on the ballot
should th?? lights go out, thereby pr<?
venting the stealing of vote*.
