ODELL OPENS CAMPAIGN
NEW YoRK's GOVERNOR SPEAKS
 IN BROOKLYN.
Dealt Mainly With State Affairs and Declared That Coal Strike Should Not Be an Issue
 There.

New York, Oct Ex-Governor Odeli to- niAit opened the Republican State cam palgn in Brooklyn. Governor odeil made the principal address of the night at Clairmont Rink.
 The greater part of the Governor 8 speech was devoted to State affairs strictly. He appealed to the people of both great political parties for support of the State ticket on the ground that the Republican administration had shown itself faithful to the interests of the whole people. without regard to political exigen- cies. He left 1t to those whose proclivi- ties are in a Democratic direction in national issues to judge of Republican policies in the State by results achieved by a Republican administration in reduc- ing their burden of taxes and in enecttng an economical administration of their af- fairs.
 After going into detail at length on the economies put into effect by his admin istration for the past two years and the efforts and plans made for the future ad- vancement of State interests. Governor Odell said:
 The Republican party has met squarely every issue that has been presented by the Democratic party. It has demonstrated that the claim of our opponents that the government of the State has been extrav- agant Is not founded on fact. It has shown that Democratic atacks upon the national administration upon the policies of government which had to do with the great problems which came to us as result of the war with Spain. have been solved upon American lines and TOT the benefit of humanity and the advancement of civilization.
 ''They seek to ignore these great ques- tions and to appeal for support upon con- ditions which exist in a leighboring State. and for which the people of New York arc in no way responsible. The combina- lions of capital which have marked the commercial progress of our country have been accompanied by combinations Of la bor. So long as both pursue their busi- ness within the limits of constitutlonai and statutory law they are entitled to the protection of the State and the strong arm of the Government. violations whether they be through the artificial en- hancement of prices; whether they be in the direction of curtailment of produc- tion: whether they be by the interference of the rights of individual workingmen. or whatever form such lawiessness may take should be promptly met ana sup pressed by the power vested Tn the eAecu- five branches of government. The rights of the people are paramount. whenever conflicts of capital and labor threaten not only the prosperity but also the physical comfort and welfare of the people, It then becomes the duty of those who represent the commonwealth. which has given 10 the one a charter right for existence 10 both labor and capital it's guarantee Of nrotection to step in and endeavor to ad- just such differences.
 "Broad American principles are teach ing the youth respect for his country and his flag, which will lead him to believe that the laws of our country are made for the good of all and are founded upon prin- ciples upon which all should rely. because so soon as there is shown a disrespect or envy of success. just so soon govern ment like ours must fail and anarchy and disorder must rule.
