Was Fathers Friend.
lBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune. !

Albany. Jan. Ex-Governor Sulzer
was asked to-day what purpose young
Vincent Aston had In coming to Albany
to sec him at the reception last night
. "Oh. he just came to pay his re-
spccts." said the Governor. His father
and were close friends, and ! was very
glad TO see him. SO was Mrs. SulZer."
rs IL true that he Is going TO enter
politics." the Executive was asked.

Want tho Contracts Signed.

Wall rect and Tammany want
these contracts signed. II happens
that majority Of the Public Service
Commission and the Board OF Estimate
want them signed also although
Messrs. Wilcox and McAneny have re-
fused hatly to sign them as they STAND.
These official bodies believe the CON
tracts, while by no means ideal, repre-
sent the best bargain they can OBTAIN
for the public at this time The Gov
ernor. who always is the friend OF tn"
people" Indicated clearly 10 the delega =
ton from the Brooklyn transit confer

pretty bad and would prefer some kind
of municipal ownership and operation

he joyfully takes refuge ;ov behind
the obvious fact that under the home
rule doctrine this subway muddle is
for the New York City people to clear

is not part OF the situation al all,
until il is shown that the local authori-
ties cannot settle the issue. II the pro-
posed contracts are good ones. the
people should use all their influence to

bad. the people owe 1t to themselves to
work against them.
In any case the Governor thinks de-
laws are unwarranted. The people are
tired OF being strap-hangers. Every
man in public service ought TO do what
the people want They should not
throw dust in the peoples eyes The

Governor in No Quandary.

Nobody should get the idea that the
Governor Is in a Quandary. He Is moi

as much about this subway situation

is called on to do so. But II the city
officials don't come out into the open.

lie Service Commission has done little
save try" to solve the subway prob
lem. That isn't his way; he wants
ouick action on contracts that shall be
fair TO taxpayers and the corpora
tons"
The manifestly touchy condition OF
the Governor and the shortness OF time
left to Mr.. Wilcox are keeping all the

According TO President Shonts, the CO.

ton since the company established the
recreat ton centres for employees at va
rous parts Of the line. At these recrea-
ton centres tobacco and light lunches
were put on sale for the roads patrons
and the success of this feature OF the
enterprise later prompted the establish
ment OF restaurants. where employees
could get substantial luncheon Tor

Commissioner George V. :. Williams

out yesterday with an emphatic state
ment that the fight on the subway con-
tracts was being made entirely by
political interests and against the ex-
pressed wishes of a majority of the

ON the terms of the operating contracts
but entirely by certain political interests

Grated route, as against the great mass
