Smith and Osborn
Both "Making Play"
For Farmers Votes

Both Alfred E. Smith and William
Church Osborn are making an effort
to win the support of farmers of the
state in the primaries. Mr.. Osborn is
a practical farmer, although his law
practice keeps him in New York most
of the time, and his managers are ad-
visng upstate Democrats to vote for
"Will" Osborn. No one below the
Harlem River presumes to call Mr..
Osborn by an abbreviated first name,
and the Tammany men are making
merry over the fact.
At the City Hall yesterday it was
announced that "Al" Smith will open
his upstate campaign. provided he il
successful in the primaries, at the
delaware County Fair in Delhi on Sep
tember 4. Mr.. Smith has decided to
give lot of time to the farmer vote
provided he beats Mr.. Osborn in the
primaries. The Osborn managers are
advertising both in the Republican
and Democratic country papers.
Delhi is the home town of Colonel
Lafayette B. Gleason, secretary of tho
Republican State Committee, and a
strong Whitman man. Colonel Glea
son intimated yesterday that, if Mr.
Smith thinks he is going to stampede
Delaware County Republicans into
voting the Democratic ticket he would
have to guess again.
The farmers of Delaware County
are interested in prize exhibits" said
Colonel Gleason yesterday. probably
Mr.. Smith will have to divide honors
with Hostein bulls and other at.rac-
tions."

Former Senator William NJ. Bennett,
candidate for the Republican nomina-

Republican primaries. said yesterday
that he had taken the necessary legal
steps to insure an honest count in
the primary.
II am confident that at the primary

fact that as many Democratic inspect

Government Will
Aid Industries in
War Difficulties
Funds Available for Con-
Germs Desiring to Enter
List of Essentials
WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28-Govern-
ment financial aid is available under
certain conditions to industries in the
process of conversion from less essen
tial production to the manufacture of
materials contributing to prosecution
OF the war. officials of the War Finance
Corporation to-day explained.
This was prompted by reports that
many manufacturing concerns arr
threatened with bankruptcy or entir.
suspension during the war because thew
have insufficient funds to permit
changes in their plants or processes
necessary to transform them into es,
sential industries.
The principal conditions for obtain
ing aid froA the governments half
billion dollar fund established to tide
war industries over critical periods are
that the concern must be engaged in
industry or business essential during
the war period and that it's credit must
be of nature to provide ADEQUATE
collateral for the loan.
The first rule has been interpreted
rather broadly by the War Finance
Corporation directors to permit in
cluslon of industries whose contribu-
tlon to the war is indirect, such as
street car companies and other util-
tiles, and manufacturers whose product
in some way goes into the output of
war materials. The second rule may
prove the principal block to many gov
ernment loans.
Two courses are open to needy manu-
facturers. They may negotiate ad-
vances from banks, which in turn can
get IS per cent of the advance as a
loan from the War Finance Corpora
tion, or they may go direct to the cor
poration and stand a fair chance Of
getting loan providing they offer ade-
quate security.
Bernard M. Baruch, chairman of the
War Industries Board, announced to-
day that curtailments of less essential
industries would become increasingly

u. S. Judge Removes
Grocery Co. Receiver

Judge John c. Knox in the Federal
District Court yesterday removed for
cause Herbert A. Emerson, one of the
receivers of the All Package Grocery
Stores Company.
Emerson's removal was asked because
he owned 499 shares of the capital
stock of the company and because he
withheld from deposit for time checks
aggregatng $4,000 as to which there
was no record upon the books of the
receivership, and because of the rela-
tions existing between him and one
W. w. Johnstone, from whom during
the receivership he purchased mer-
chandise amounting to 100000 and
from whom the unrecorded checks were
received.
Although he removed Emerson from
further service, Judge Knox, however,
did not release his liability until the
outgoing receivers accounts have been
filed, passed upon and accepted. Emer-
son was appointed on November 7, 1917,
with Snowden Marshall as receiver in
an equity suit brought by William
Sweet against the All Package Grocery
Company. He was at one time en-
ployed in the Office of che State Food

The effort which John w. Beck, of

she would sec to it that her husband

Lewis Addresses Three
Clubs and Says He'll
Garry Half of State

Attorney General Merton E. Lewis
addressed three Republican gather
ings last night, starting at the Justice
Republican Club, 1890 Third Avenue,
where voters from the 10th and 18th
Assembly districts gave him warm
welcome, and ending up at the organi-
zation club house of the I'd AS
sembly District, 238 East Broadway.
His biggest crowd was at the or
ganization headquarters of the
7th Assembly District, Eightieth
Street and Broadway, where the
leader, Albert J. Berwin, has formal
ly declared for him. There the
audience cheered his declaration that
ne was against the Legislature rati-
flying the proposed Federal prohibi-
tion amendment without giving the
people chance to vote on the
proposition. He again characterized d
"office holders obigarchy" and quoted
the following from George Washing
ton:
"A public officer is public servant,
and there is no greater enemy of
democracy than the man who en-
deavors to perpetuate his power by
clinging to public Office"
Before going Oh his speaking tour
the Attorney General made reply to
the statement of the Whitman cam
palgn, managers that the Governor
would carry every county in the
state but Albany. Characterizing the
claim as absurd, the Attorney General
said he was confident of success,

shall carry approximately half of the
counties of the state, and that shall
receive large vote in many of the
counties in which I may not ACTUALLY
obtain a majority" said Mr.. Lewis.

Campaign Manager for
Governor Declares Brown
Speaks for SmallMinority
Cites Labor Record
Democratic Legacy Has Been
Turned Into Benefit for
People, He Insists

w. W. Cocks, chairman of the Whit
man campaign committee, said yester-
day, after reading the attack on Gov
ornor Whitman made BY Senator Elon
r. Brown, that thrusts by William
Barnes, Senator Brown and ex-senator
Harvey D. Hinman and men of their
political way of thinking do not carry
delight with the majority of voters in
the state.
Nothing that Senator Brown says
is going to rattle the Whitman people"
said Mr.. Cocks. "The Republican vot-
ers are with the Governor and those
associated with him in the campaign.
Fully so per cent of the candidates
for the Legislature are supporters of
the Governor. Almost that percentage
OF committeeman are on record in his
behalf. The percentage in his favor
Of candidates for local offices is just
as large. and the Republican press of
the state holds in about the same pro-
portion in his support.
Says Labor Is In Accord
"There has been full accord between
capital and labor during the Governors
administration. 1t was only a few
years ago that labor organizations CEN
sured Republican administrations, but
to-day the Governor is a preferred d
speaker. at labor gatherings. His sup
port of wise labor laws. especially
those with reference to the protection
Of women and children, has been whole
hearted hearts ~ Among other labor bills
requiring vestlbuled cabs, favored By
locomotive engineers and fremen.'
Charles H. Belts, Of Lyons, con-
trlbuted remark or two yesterday
in support Of the Governor and in dis
paragement Of the last Democratic
administration.
Cites Democratic Failures
when Governor Whitman assumed
the duties of his Office four years ago."
said Mr.. Belts, "every department of
the state was in condition of hopeless
chaos and inefficiency. William Church
Osborn, chairman of the Democratic
State Committee, now seeking the Gov
ernorship. in public interview de-
clared that every department of the
state is in a hopeless condition of
Generalization and chaos and he
threatened to resign as chairman of
the state committee on that account.
The Democratic administrations under
Dix and Sulzer were ahame with scan
dal and the state was honeycombed
with corruption unparalleled since the
days Of Tweed. Order, economy and
efficiency have since characterized the
conduct of every department of state.
The advocates of booze and Doodle are
against Whitman. The man who wants
to profit by corrupt legislation els
against him. The man who wants to
practise law on the floor of the Senate
or Assembly is against him. This is
the highest compliment that could be
paid to Governor Whitman"
