Smith Sacrificed,
N. Y. Democrats in
Washington Think
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)

tSpcc,dt DtSpGtcn to The Irlbune)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Alfred e.
Smith is regarded by New York Dem
ocrats in the Administration for
quotation of course-as having been
sacrificed to the more urgent need of a
Democratic House and Senate. These
Democrats are quite frank in their
some of them thought were pretty
good have now gone glimmering.
The point is, they say, that Smiths
chief hopes for victory lay in his own
great personal popularity in greater
New York, and in the general apathy
which prevailed upstate. The Tam
many enthusiasm which exists in New
York City over the nomination of their
man for Governor finds no counter
part in any particular enthusiasm up
state in the Republican counties, it is
declared.
On the other hand Democrats here
admit they had believed confidently
that Smiths possibility of election lay
in the upstate stay-at-home vote. With
no particular incentive, no interest in
the election and with no earthly doubt
as to the outcome Of the Congre ssional
fights, outside of Buffalo and Schenec-
tady, it was thought the farmers would
stay at home. The result would be
the upstate normal Republican major
ity would dwindle down to figure
easily overcome below The Bronx
Now, they lament, President Wilson
by his statement has aroused an in
tense partisan feeling which in all
probability will bring the farmers out
in droves, and they will pile up a ma
jority for Whitman upstate that will

Whitman Outlines
What He Has Done
To Help Worknen
Governor Sends Letter to
Head of State Fedora
tion of Labor
Cites ''Bill of Rights"
Favors Move to Provide
Health Insurance for Toll
ers of State

Governor Whitman yesterday sent a
letter to James p Holland, president
OF the State Federation of Labor, out
Inning the principal pro-labor acts of
his administration.
He first told of the passage aad sign
ing of the law broadening the socallcd
"Bill Of Rights" during the last scs-
sion of the Legislature, making it un-
lawful to discriminate against any per-
son, regardless of creed or color not
only in ordinary affairs, but also in the
matter of public employment.
The Governor then reviewed the per-
fection in the workmcn's compensation
law during his administration, with the
aid Of labor leaders, notably JOnn
Mitchell and James NJ. Lynch.
"Most farrcaching." continued the
Governor, "is the amendment enacted
by the last Legislature extending the
scope Of the workmen's compensation
law TO every employment in which three
or more workers are engaged. This
makes our law, without doubt, the
most all-inclusive workmen's compensa-
tion law in the country.
GAS cvidencng my belief in proper
living wage and in order to meet the
high cost of living brought on by the
extraordinary conditions of the war
| approved an act granting for the pc
riod of the war a 10 per cent increase
in salary to all state employees whose
salaries were not in excess of 81 800
per annum.
81 am in favor of a commission to
be appointed to make a careful study
and report to the Legislature on the
subject of health insurance for work
,ot ttnr Of oh
tremendous importance to all the peo-
pie of the state, and so beset with diff
ficulties, that believe no action should
be taken without the most careful con-
sideraton of commission upon which
will be represented the interests of
labor. of the employers and of the
health authorities of the state Such a
commi ission. however. should proceed to
a prompt liberation of the subject
and make a prompt report of its con-
clusions.
"a Governors record is sometimes
as remarkable for his vetoes of ques-
record Of legislation approved. The
workers of this state have not forgot
ten the fight that was made shortly
sfter our entrance into the war to
break down for the period OF the wal
those standards of working conditions
that have been so firmly establish ed
here. Under the plea of patriotism and
war necessity the Legislature enacted
the so-called Brown bill. which was op-
posed at the hearing before me by all
the responsible spokesmen for the
labor movement Because of the de-
fects in that bill and the bad precedent
which it would establish and its liza
bility to abuse l promptly vetoed it.
and that veto has been justified by the
situation in the state since then.
"If reelected Governor there will be
no letting down of the bars carefully
built up for the protection of the
wage earners Of the state"

Whitman's Record Wins
Harlem Citizens Support

Men and women prominent in Har-
lem. and many of them noted for their
activities for civic betterment, have
organized the Whitman Independent
League.
These workers. irrespective of party,
have added considerably to their ranks
in the last few days, due to the re-
sentiment of the Presidents appeal for
a Democratic Congress.
The Rev. George r. Van de Water
said he is for the Governor, because
of his wonderful efficiency in office.
his absolute honesty, and his patriotic
record.
William E. Heady said: al am for

woman suffrage in the Assembly, and

Alfred f. Smith, Democratic candi-

hall last night and received an up

Always Obeys Bosses

The character and reputation Of GER

were attacked last night by Governor
Whitman in his addresses in the New
Amsterdam Opera House, Bohemian
Hall, Lenox Hall and the Union League
Club.

fred +. Smith never had the choice of
any appointments he ever made. either
as Sheriff of New York or Speaker of
the Assembly. and he never cast vote
or made n speech or a political ap-
pointment that was not dictated to him
by Fourteenth Street"
In referring to Mr.. Wilson's appeal
to the voters, Governor Whitman as
serted that no state had been more
:-'~>l in its support Of the government
than had New York. He termed the
patriotism that asked the people of
the state to turn over its government

bodies.
The actual use of money in politics
was largely intrusted by the United
States Brewers Association to its
creature, the National Association of
Commerce and Labor, body of which
Percy Andrea was the head, and which
subsidized the pro-German and sed-
tious National German American Ali
ance. Mr.. Humes, in memorandum to
the United States District Court for
Western Pennsylvania, to assist it in
assessing fines when the brewers
pleaded nolle contendre to indictments
for political corruption, states that he
has evidence showing that in one year
the United States Brewers Association

year, he said, the association collected
at least $999, ,3OO.3S. He does not offer
any suggestion as to where the rest of
it went, and intimates that even this
sum was not all the mone7 the associa
