Neither the Governor nor any Of the

that "thc issue in this campaign is the
President of the United States"
81 believe ,hat you are going 70 sus-
tain him, not only by sending back
every Democratic Congressman in the
State Of New York, but that you are
going 20 send another Democratic Sen
ator to Washington And that you are
going TO elect Martin Glynn Governor.
And we are going 20 have Democratic
success all along the line, not only ~
New York but in every other state OF
the Union.
81 understand that it has been said
i'm the State Of New York. ~ several
places that the Democratic adminlStra-
ton did not favor the success of the
Democratic ticket in the state OF Ne"
York. ! am here to tell you that that
is false.
II am here TO tell you that Governor
Glynn ought TO he elected Governor OF
this state He is a man Of character
and ability. Can any one say he has
less haracter and ability than any Of
his opponents? On the contrary, he
has infinitely more than some Of them.
Governor Glynn ought to be elected
for the reasons ! have stated, and he
ought TO be elected for another reason:
He ought TO be elected particularly
TO vindicate the American doctrine as
well as the principle of the Constltu-
tiou of this country, which Is that re-
] gious and sectarian and racial issues
should never be injected into a cam
paign.
