He has gained public confidence by faithful service His ability has com handed respect His hold upon the public has been aimed and strengthened without resort to unworthy arts He has shown once again that distinguished leadership is not to be denied to simplicity of life or modesty of behavior but is the sure reward of honesty and capacity.
 Although disappointed in his reasonable ambition for a second term Gov. Smith is more powerful today in defeat than he two years ago in victory fe Is a Governor with record Of noble causes of the Democratic Party in New York.
