northern counties have asked me TO

my friends. if not disloyal TO my party;
when | took Office last October /
announced that | was not candidate

chance TO secure needed reforms was
TO contine my energies TO the WORK OF
the state. ! had no desire TO NIX pun

Takes Credit for Reforms.
"The more important of the reforms
sought have been secured. New YORK
nov has a workmen's compensation law
and a State Employment Bureau
la. q direct primary system. II has
rlrr bank law and a Department OF
+, md Markets for its farmers and
f.. ..oavers have been saved, for the
coming wear al least. the imposition OF
. inject tax. The states tangled SINK
inc funds have been Strengthened, us
banking laws revised and strengthened
and New York is now financially upon
a sound and proper basis.
at is natural that, having Instituted
these reforms. / should desire TO watch
over their first operations. ! want to
give them a chance 70 prove their

The states expenses SS,000,0OO more.
And IL was these vctoes, and these
alone. that saved the taxpayers OF TINS
state from the burden OF a direct TAX
a. the responsibility for reducing
tho state budget 100000 rests with
me I feel that il is my duty TO prove
10 the state that this reduction vas
