Poughkecpsie To - night
? George K. Morris, chairman of the
Republican State Committee, surprised
V .'icians yesterday with the an
?r.ouncement that the Republican State
{Committee, which is to manage the
'?campaign for all the state ticket nomi?
nees, would not accept campaign
?money contributions from any candi?
date.
? "The various candidates are at liber?
ty, of course, to contribute to their
?various county organizations," said Mr.
*Morris. "Furthermore, we have de?
cided that it will be unnecessary and
?undesirable for any of the candidates
,t? have personal headquarters. The
setate committee will do the work foi
?all the candidates."
Calder Approves Plan
United States Senator Calder said
?that, while he hod planned to have a
?>* ??o/ial lioadquarters, he was entirely
f-? ..?lied with the new plan and ht
tieaght it was a goad thing.
"}. chal? have a clerk and stenogra?
pher at the National Republican Club,
adjoining the state headquarters, so as
iu !ock alter political correspondence
find arrange speaking dates," said the
S< oat or, "but aside from that I shall
p3*>1 My interests with the others."
M*. Morris said that after the 16th
of this month Colonel Theodore Roose
velt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy;
United States Senators Wadsworth and
Calder and Representatives Mills and
Husted will ill be speaking at various
points around the state. It is expected
that other speakers of national reputa?
tion will take part in the state cam
] aign.
Governor Mulct- will begin his three
Weoks' swing around the state to-night,
in Poughkecpsie. To-morrow night he
is scheduled to speak in Troy. On Mon?
day .flight he will be in Utica, and
from there lie will go to points in the
northern tier of counties. He will
occupy a Pullman sleeper, while the
newspaper men will go along in an?
other, traveling from point to point
on the regular trains.
Morris to Meet County Chairmen
Mr. Mor; is will meet the chairmen
of sixteen county organizations at
luncheon at the Ten Eyck in Albany
on Monday noon, and at night he will
hold a similar conference on campaign
work with ten or twelve more county
chairmen at Syracuse. He plans to
Bee the southern tier chairmen later.
"Things are shaping up first rate
for the campaign," said Mr. Morris yes?
terday. "Governor Miller is making an
aggressive campaign and giving the
men and women of the state something
to think about. The Democrats have
challenged us on the score of efficient
and economical state administration.
We are glad to meet them on that
li-sue. It will be an educational cam?
paign from start to finish. While
the Governor will be up the state for
the next three weeks' he will wind up
th?> canvass right here in the metro?
politan district."
Anderson Calls for
Support of Miller
i Urges Votes for Him, Not as
Prohibitionist, bul as an
Honest Man
ROCHESTER. N. t., Oct. <",.?William
H. Anderson, superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League of New York,
spi-aksrig at. the temperance anniver?
sary of the Genese?* Conference of the
? Methodist Episcopal Church of Western
New York, here this evening, urged
support of Governor Miller "not as a
prohibitionist" but as a man "honest,
intelligent, and courageous enough to
stand for state r?cognition and en?
forcement of Federal law." He attacked
Senator Calder and advised prohibi?
tionists to cast "protest votes" for the
Prohibition Party candidate for the
United .States Senate.
"The citizens of New York State,"
he declared, "are confronted with a
?square issue of respect for law and
orderly government against anarchy
and nullification. Former Governor
Smith, who put through the nullifica?
tion measure knocked out by tho United
States Supreme Court, is now for nul?
lification on a less blatant- but more
hypocritical platform."

fected while Governor, declaring that
he had saved the people of the state
$100,000,000 in taxes, while the Demo?
cratic administration, if it had contin?
ued in power, would, reckoning from
the estimates of state departments,
have placed an additional burden of
$100,000,000 on the taxpayer.?.
Much of the Governor's talk was
devoted to a review of the accomplish?
ments of the Transit Commission, and
in this he neatly turned the tables
on his adversaries over the 5-cent fare
question. In addition to declaring that
the commission is working for a uni?
fied traction system for New York
City, on a universal fare basis, the
Governor announced that the commis?
sion soon would reach a decision that
the 5-cent fare car bo maintained, and
that adequate service can be given
for it.
"They have challenged us to compare
the records of the two administrations
with respect to the regulation of pub?
lic utilities," he went on. "Here and
now 1 accept that challenge.
"I want to preface what I say by
reading from their platform: 'They
have delivered the Public Service Com?
mission to the control of the railroad,
the gas and electric corporations and
the telephone trusts and have created a
corporation-controlled Tr.insit Commis?
sion, that aims to seize? the municipal
railways constructed by the city of
New York at a cost of $"00,000,000, in
order to compel the people to pay in?
creased carfares.'
"What happened under the adminis?
tration of the party which says we
have delivered the commission to the
corporations? Under Governor Smith's
administration I am speaking of pub?
lic utilities generally now?two things
happened with respect to the public
utilities of the state. During those
two years there were greater advances
in rates and fares authorized by his
commission, particularly up-state, than
have ever occurred in any other two
years of the state government.
"There was something else that went
with those increased fares. If the
fares were justified, there at least
should have been an improvement in
service; but there was a period of two
years of increase in fares and de?
creased service.
"When the present administration
took office the public utilities of the
state were in the most demoralized
condition that they had ever been in.
Because of these increases in fares and
constantly deteriorating service publie
opinion in every center of the state
was inflamed against the utility corpo?
rations, and it was a fertile field for
the politician and the demagogue, who,
instead of seeking to improve those
conditions, seek to make political cap?
ital out of them.
"What has happened since? We are
now in a period of lowering fares and
improving service. In brief, those
ore the two records."
"To-day anybody having business to
do with that Commission gets his busi?
ness promptly attended to," he went
on. "That is one thing at least that
i it has done."
Gas Production Studied
The Governor then went on to the
subject of gas companies. He said:
"The Public Service Commission has
j undertaken a scientific study to deter
j mine the cost of producing gas and the
; proper standards to go by. We are
; going by an utterly uneconomic and
I wasteful standard?candle-power. AI

j was the proper standard. Gas is used
| mainly for heating, and not for illu
I minating, and the economy was to
! establish a ?lifferent standard. The
truth was the companies were not giv
I in?r the people the quality of gas they ?
? were collecting for.
"The standard was changed. That
I reduced the cost, but the people wore
j given every penny's benefit from that
, decrease, und that amount was doubled
; besides in the reductions ordered."
Here Governor Miller ripped into his
adversaries over the transit problem
as follows:
"Now the second part of th?3 Dem?
ocratic platform: 'And have created a
corporation controlled Transit Commis
; sion that aims to seize the municipal
| rnilwavs constructed by the City of
' New York at a cost of $.100,000,000, in
order to compel the people to pay in
' creased carfares.'
Aim of Trans't Commission
I "What the Transit Commision nimed
to do is. starting with the subways as
a backbone, to acquire for the city,
. without the investment of a single dol
' lar of city money, all of the public
[utilities which are worth while to be
| acquired, and when that has been
'? done to inaugurate a unified system
of operation under which people shall
be carried throughout this city for one
i fare, and that 5 cents.
"Tho Democratic party says 'we
i favor the delegation to the municipal?
ity of the power to regulate public
[ untilitios operating wholly within
i their limits.' Let us test their prom?
ise by their record of performance.
"When Smith was Governor tho
! Legislature, it is true, was Republi
! can, but it allowed him to write the
' law that he wanted to govern public
j utilities for the City of New York.
Did he ask the state delegate its power
to the city administration No. Dili
he suggest it? No. What did he do.
He provided that instead of having
one state commission to exercise thes?
regulatory powers that there shou'd
j bo two state commissions to do it?
i the Rapid Transit Construction Com
; mission and the Public Servfce Com
I mission.
"Have I a right to challenge tho
I sincerity of a party whose record '?s
j thus presented when it now says that
, it is in favor of delegating that stato
j power to the municipality? Why did
| not Governor Smith recommend that
I then when he was Governor This
j proposition is put in here only to de?
ceive.

j Will II, Hays, president of the Motion

it was the Producers' business to make

thought of benefit to tho state. Thoy
received-the same treatment by the Re?
publican majority that the welfare bills
received.
Cites Prison Reform
"Another special interest -men and
women interested in the welfare of the
people in our penal institutions called
on me. ! appointed a committee on
survey that made many recommenda?
tions that were put into force nnd
effect bettering conditions in our penal
institutions. When that interest called
on the Governor ho told them that the
prisoners were too well off.
"1 had another interest call on me -
namely, employers nnd employees who
were at odds. I appointed a board for
the consideration of strikes nnd lock?
outs nnd sat in with them myself and
adjusted n great many of the strike
troubles throughout, the state. Gover?
nor Miller called out the police.
"The water power interests knew
better than to call on me, because they
had known my position on water power
for ten years. They know that I um
in favor of the development, owner?
ship and control of the water power
of the state by the state, to the end
that the people themselves may get
the full benefit of their natural re?
sources. When they culled on Gover?
nor Miller and the Republican Legisla?
ture they got what they wanted, and
a grant of power was given to them to
divert water from the St. Lawrence
River that they were denied by a re?
peal of their charter under n Demo?
cratic Legislature in 1913.
"The New York traction interests
did not call on me because they knew
I would refer them back to their own
city to settle their affairs before the
only tribunal competent to hoar them.
They called on the Governor nnd the
Republican Legislature and were suc?
cessful in having the city authorities
lifted entirely out of the picture so
that a state-appointed commission
might without regard to existing con?
tracts with the city increase the car
fares in the City of New York. The
city or her people did ?lot ask for this
transfer of power. The only other
party in interst was the railroads, so
the special interests won.
Refers to Public Utilities
"Tho telephone interests and the
gas and electric companies throughout
the state were not unsuccessful when
they called on Governor Miller. They
succeeded in having a Public Service
Commission, upon which they are. them?
selves represented, so fastened into the
law for years to come that they arc
practically beyond the power of any?
body to remove them.
"A special interest visited me tc
speak about the insane soldiers. 1
recommended an appropriation o!
$3,000,000 for a special hospital foi
their exclusive treatment. When th?
same special interests called on Gov?
ernor Miller they were told that th?
war heroes in state hospitals wer?
much better fed, kept and housed Miar
75 per cent of the people of the state
who arc paying the taxes which sup?
port the hospitals.
"I recommended to the legislatures
of 1919 and 1920 amendments to the
constitution which would empower tin
Legislature to reorganize the state
government. The Legislature, startinj.
in a hostile frame of mind toward the
amendments, heard from the folks ai
homo and were unable to withstane
the pressure of public opinion in favoi
of them, and reluctantly and gruelg
ingly passed them in the dying mo
ments of the session. The same inter
est was unable to make its plea t(
Governor Miller.
Stato Reorganization
"Nathan L. Miller and other prom
inent Republicans approved thesi
amendments and admitted at that tim?.
that they were essential if real effl
ciency and genuine economy were t<
be effected in the government of th?
state. Strange to say, that when h?
had the opportunity as Governor ti
drive them through the Legislature hi
turned about-face on the proposal. Ha<
he approved of them in his first yea
of office we would to-day have a com
plctoly reorganized, cu/!,pact state gov?
ernment instead of tho wasteful, scat?
tered, irresponsible, duplicating struc?
ture which we have now."
Smith ended his speech by promising
to make good all his party pledges if
elcctc?!.
All the other nom?neos of tho Syra
use Convention n'so made formal
speeches of acceptance, including
Mayor Lunn, Dr. Royal S. Copclnnd,
??and.dato for United State? Senator;
Mayor James W. Fleming of Troy,
n< mineo for State Comptroller; Carl
Sherman, of Buffalo, ennidate for
Attorney General; Dr. James A. Ham?
ilton, of the Bronx, named for Secre?
tary of State; Captain George K.

Engineer and Surveyor.
Hearst Keeps Pledge to
Help Democratic Ticket
W illi?im Randolph Hearst bas kept
his pledge to support with his string
??f newspapers the ticket nominated at
tlr Democratic State Convention at
Sy.'icusc last week. "The New York
A.iPrican" to-day in a full-pngo edi?
te rial indorses the entire ticket, from
former Governor Smith down, and at?
tacks Governor Miller for "being im?
bued with the doctrine for which Re?
publicanism in this state since the days
of Alexander Hamilton has always
stood: That government should give
its first care to society's upper crust."
The editorial pays the following com?
pliment to Mr. Smith, who steadfastly
refused to permit tho nomination of
the New York publisher either for the
Governorship or the United States Sen?
ate :
"Heading it (the Democratic ticket),
is former Governor Alfred E. Smith, a
man admittedly unsurpassed in knowl?
edge of the mechanism of state admin?
istration and possessing an unusually
| varied and intimate acquaintance with
the personnel of state politics. He
will not need to be taught what he
ought to do or how he ought to do it."
In the summer of 1919, the Hearst
newspapers made a bitter attack on
Governor Smith in connection with the
price of- milk, and on one occasion an
editorial stated:
"Smith was responsible for tho star?
vation of the children of New York be?
cause he refused to reduce the price
of milk."
Cartoons were published during the
summer in "The New York American"
and "The Journal" depicting Governor
Smith as the evil genius responsible
for the deaths of innocent children,
i'rior to this Hearst and Smith were
engaged in a vigorous quarrel over the
Governor's charge that the publisher
took "nearly a thousand dollars' worth
of army food sent here to relieve fche
suffering among the poor." Hearst, in
denying the allegation, asserted that
"Governor Smith, with all the willing?
ness in the world to be a blackguard,
apparently lacks the brains even to
manufacture a good lie."
The consistent attacks on the Gover?
nor finally led-him to make a public
address at Carnegie Hall on the night
of October 29, ?919, in whlcn Hearst
was denounced as an assassin of char?
acter, an enemy of the people, an apos?
tle of discord, and his papers were
called a p^tilencc. Smith had chal?
lenged Ilc-frst to a joint debate, but
the publisher declined to appear.
"I knew I would be alone," the Gov?
ernor declared, "because I Knew the
man to whom I issued the challenge,
and I know that he hns not got a drop
of clean, good red blood in his body.
I know the color of his liver. And I
know it is whiter than the driven
snow, if such a thing be possible.
In an address at the Hotel Biltmorc
tho following March Governor Smith
charged that the Hearst newspapers in
New York were the greatest sources of
Bolshevism and I. W. W.-ism in the
United States. ?

The Accomplishments of a Great Convention
TODAY marks the close of the Con?
vention of the American Bankers'
Association, which will undoubtedly
stand as one of the greatest in the history
of the association.
The records of the Bank of the
Manhattan Company show many events
of great import during its 123 years'
existence, and the Bank welcomes the
accomplishments for better banking
which it feels will be the result of this
convention.
One of the oldest banks in the country,
the Bank 'of the Manhattan Company
early established connections with banks
in the then important business cities.
Today its correspondents are every?
where.
So in this gathering of the nation's
leaders in financial enterprise and thought
we feel sure that the intimate association
between the out-of-town bankers and the
bankers of New York? has produced a
new relationship of mutual understand?
ing which will be reflected in all business
contacts of the future.
