last night, four in Queens and one IN
Brooklyn. He spoke at Astoria, Flush
ing, Jamaica, Ridgewood and at the
Unity Club, Brooklyn.
At the Astoria and Flushing meet
ings he had good crowds. Not once
did he refer to District Attorney Whit
man or to the Republican party. his
praise of President Wilson was lavish.
"He is the best President since JEFF
ferson." he said OF Ambassador Ger
ard, Democratic candidate for United
States Senator, he said:
"His conduct in Germany in this un-
paralleled era of stress has awakened
the envy Of other diplomats all over
the world"
His play for reelection was made on
his record He spoke highly of his
work for the people, Of the workm6n's
compensation act and of saving the
people of this state Sl1 100000.
On his state" he said, there are

The candidate said he had lowered
the tax rate 10 points. and added that
there would be no direct tax next year
Glynn Lauds Empire State.
Governor Glyrn addressed a Jewish
audience at the dinner OF the Unity
Club lie said:
"The Empire State is first not only
in finance and cbmmcrce. Let it be
cur boast also that it is first in that
spiritual and Intellectual enlighten-
mcnt that must underlie and antedate
all material welfare and physical we'll
being. Let us be proud that our state
is the first in the Union in the move
ment 70 unite its citizens in that broad
brotherhood that knows neither race
nor creed.
at has been my privilege to empha-
size my own devotion to this higher
ideal Of citizenship by naming for jus
tice Of the highest court Of the state
an able, honest and scholarly Jew.
When J appointed Benjamin Cardozo
to the Court Of Appeals it was the first
time that an orthodox Jew had been so
honored."
In Long Island City the Governor
discussed the wcrkmen's compensation
act and attacked its opponents.
"The state should give to the poor
man assurance that his family will be
protected after death, just as the pri-
vate insurance companies give assur-
ance to the families Of the rich" he
said.
"The opponents Of the law would
speak Of it in terms Of dollars and
cents. They would paint it as a cold
balancing of industrial accidents
against automatically calculated in
surance premiums. But to those who
have watched the law in operation IL is
a living, glowing, vital tribute TO the
humanity and justice Of the twentieth
century.
THE law not only pays for injuries,
but 1T prevents them. The owners Of
factories are installing safety appli
ahces in their shops, because it Is
cheaper for them to put them there
than to continue without them"
The alleged 100000 saving was
the text of Mr.. Glynn's final speech
OF the evening in Flushing, Long
Island. He effected this saving, the
Governor, said, by the application of
ordinary business methods to state af-
fans. Every voter in New York Coun-
", he asserted, had been saved more
than 81.
1--WE have Strengthened out the sur
plus in the sinking fund" said the
Governor, "and have lifted from the
taxpayers Of to-day burden which
rhould be borne by the taxpayers of
tomorrow. We have taken S3,000,000
which you and your fellow taxpayers
have poured into the treasury through
q mistake, given it back to you in lieu
Of taxes, and made it possible to exact
from the taxpayers of the future their
proper share of the cost of permanent
public improvements"
