platform for any other reason except
to show him that he is liar.
"Now he flares out headline that
Smith appointed representative Of
the mill. trust to office. That is lie.
never appointed the man whose name
he mentioned in the paper in my life,
and every appointment that is made by
the Governor, even to notary public,
has to be recorded in a certain book
that is public property in the executive
chamber in Albany, and he can go up
and look at that book.
"He hared out in his headline some
thing that l had to pay attention to
that the New York Central was in
league with the Milk Trust to curb the
man that did not join the league, and
he gave the details of a station in
Duchess County where the New York
Central Railroad refused to accept the
milk. 7 Immediately sent for the Dis
trict Attorney of this county. The Dis
trict Attorney subpenaed the men from
up in Dutchess County, and after a
q letter from TIE District Attorney, ot
which | will read but few lines:

from which it would appear that the
New York Central Railroad was not,
nor was any of its representatives., q
member of any conspiracy to prevent
Mr. Macarthur from shipping milk to
this city
"Thc fact Of the matter was that no
milk came from this station in Dutch
ess County to this city in thirteen
years.
"He speaks constantly through his
papers of q letter that | received from
4ayor Hylan begging me to do some
thing. Why, the Mayor never sent me
letter about it. | never received such
letter. The Mayor won't say he sent
it to me.
"Of course, you all remember the
narrowing detail of all the babies that
were dying in New York because the
Governor did not reduce the price OF
milk. The fact is, and it is something
for which we can be thankful to Al
mighty God that the infant mortality
in this state and in this city IN the
last six months has been lower than
at any other time in the whole history
of the state. That is the fact
