Oswego, N. Y, Sept 24.-Warner Miller began
the second week Of the active campaign he Is
making as the Republican candidate for Governor
by delivering two speeches to-day in
Osweeo County. One was addressed TO voters
this afternoon at Sandy Creek on the eastern edge
OF the county and the other to voters here this
evening at the northern extremity Of the county.
Extraordinary interest WIS shown in the address
by voters, there being 5000 farmers on the fair
grounds at Sandy Creek. 1t is estimated that
90 900 Republicans assembled in Oswego to take
part In the political demonstration. AS a mani
festation of political strength, the parade and
meeting Of the Republicans here far surpassed the
parade and meeting given by the Democrats here
in honor of Governor Hill, on September IA.
There was large number of women in the audi
ence at Sandy Creek and they showed keen
interest in his appeal to voters to support the
Republican party in it's effort to lessen drunken
ness by passing high license law. 1t is plain
that the women Of the State are deeply Interested
in the present political campaign, owing to tho
stand taken by Republican speakers in behalf
of temperance. As the principal sufferers BY the
intemperance Of men, 1t Is clear that women are
desrous of having High License law passed to
lessen the number Of saloons Mr.. Miller made
high license one Of the main themes of his address.
He said in part:

pass High License law. stand upon both declarations

Mr.. Miller also touched in his speech upon the
recent attacks which have been made upon him

alleged attitude toward the tax upon oleomarga-
rine Said he:

that the Republican party is in favor OF repeating the
tax upon oleomargarlne and that am in favor OF IT,
Here the speaker was interrupted by Assembly,
man d. n Ainsworth, the chairman of the meet
ing, who shouted:

the oleomargarine law
