NO ROOM FOR TIGER,
WHITMAN DECLARES
Governor in Queens County
Defends Himself Against
Smiths Attacks.
POINTS TO LABOR RECORD
Says Tammany Man Never
Earned q Dollar With His
Own Hands.

Gov. Whitman carried his campaign
into Queens county last night and at two
meetings. one in the Astoria section Of
Long Island City and the other in
Ridgewood. answered some Of the
charges against his administration that
have been made by Alfred L. Smith.
Il understand" said Gov. Whitman,
that Mr.. Smith has said he Is ready to
take his wife and children and his cat
and his dog and move up to the executive
mansion at Albany Well. there may be
room In the mansion for the cat and the
dog, but there certainly can be no room
for the other animal that would 20 along

Tiger
The Governor quoted John Mitchell.
chairman of the State Industrial Com
mission. and James p. Holland, president
OF the State Federation OF Labor to dis
prove charges by Mr. Smith that MIR.
Whitman had been antagonistic to1abor.
'Mr. Smith charges my administration
with having weakened the laws protect
ing labor" the Governor said. but he
makes no specific accusation and he
cannot go into detail" He said he could
not understand Mr.. Smiths deep concern
oNcT sllCt lne btHlOCTdIS HUtnl-
nee never had earned a dollar with his
own hands"
The Governor quoted Mr.. Mitchelrs
official report to refute Mr.. Smith s
charge that the teeth had been taken
out of the workman's compensation law.
The Mitchell report referred to the law
as il had worked in this State as a
model and said that relations between
employer and employee were not better
in any State than they are in New
York. He said that the labor laws OF
this State as they affected women and
children were especially desirable.
Answering Mr.. Smiths charge that the
Whitman administration had spent more
money than any other on highways and
built less mileage, the Governor quoted
a report recently submitted to the Fed
eral authorities by the State Highway
Commissioner. The report showed. Mr.
Whitman said. that in, 1914, the las,
year there was a Democratic Governor
the payroll of the Highways Department,
was sl,26e. 900 and s63 miles of road
were built.
Smith, the Governor said, charged
that the payroll was just as great this
year, and that only, seventy-five miles
Of road were built. AS quoted b1 the
Governor, the report to the Federal au'
thorities showed in the seven months &c
October l the payroll of the department
was only 100000 and that 327 miles Of

further his real purpose and the purpose
OF men who think with him when he
declares for whitman, not because he

that he will stand in the way of pro-

Touching on the Public Service Com
mission Mr.. Smith said:
Municipal ownership OF public utili-
ties Is coming In this State and neither
Barnes nor Whitman can prevent It,
They can delay 1t and add to the dis
comfort. suffering and the inconvenience
Of the public in this city caused by the
breakdown OF the Public Service Com

the Governor should exercise some con-

Of Gov. Whitman:
