A flying squadron OF Republican candi-
dates. headed by former Judge Nathan
l.. Miller. Republican nominee for Gov
ernor. swept through Nassau and Suf-
folk counties yesterday on a whirlwind
speaking tour. Everywhere they were
greeted by brass bands. parades and
large audiences. who displayed marked
enthusiasm for the Republican cause
Besides Judge Miller the speakers
were Justice Walter II. Jaycox. running
FOR the Supreme Court; John MacCrate.
Representative from the Third Congress
sional district, and also an aspirant to
the Supreme Court bench. and Fred
erck C. Hicks. Representative from the
First district. who is running for re-
election They spoke at noon in Hunt
i1gton and in the afternoon in River
head. In Riverhead they met the Suf-
folk county Republican organization
The candidates addressed a large
audience in Patchogue last night.
The party leaders at the Riverhead
organization meeting assured the candi-
dates that there is every prospect of a
big Republican victory. That was an
opinion freely echoed In the audiences
that heard the candidates. Among those
attending the Huntington meeting was
Daniel Bailey of Locust Valley. who
claims to hold almost the balance OF
voting power in Nassau.
He said the first vote he ever cast
was for Harrison and he has been vot-
ing the straight Republican ticket ever
since. His family he said. Will cast
nine Republican votes this fall, the
voters beng himself his wife, five sons
and two MISUNDERSTANDING.
II have another daughter in-law who
will be 81 years old Oh November g." he
said. That is so close to election day
that I'm going to see the Board Of Elec-
lions and find out whether she can't vote
anyway. 1t appears to me she would
be near enough 81"
Judge Miller told the Suffolk county
voters he was glad to visit Suffolk be-
cause that county had supported Loyalty
Francis Nj. Hugo, Secretary of State,
for the Governorship nomination at
Saratoga.
II would have been glad If Secretary
Hugo had gained the nomination.
Judge Miller said. II am glad to say
now that your favored candidate for
the nomination is supporting me as 10y
ally as I would have supported him"
Judge Miller discussed both national
and State issues in his three speeches.
In his speech at Patchogue Judge
Miller said Gov. Smith has claimed
credit for the mass Of social and labor
legislation that has been developed in
twenty-five years. He questioned the
accuracy Of the Executives assertion,
pointing out that the Democratic party
has been in control of both houses of the
Legislature only two OF the twenty-five
years.
Both parties have stood" he said
Everybody stands, for the promotion of
social welfare. for improving the con-
ditions of labor. for safeguarding lfe
health and limb. for protecting mother
hood and childhood. But you will find
there is precisely this difference between
the two parties. The Governors party
has rendered lip service to every pro-
posal that for the moment has seemed
popular, regardless OF it's effect upon
Industry or upon the workers for whose
benefit II purported to be designd.
THE Republican party has had the
courage to withstand clamor and in
tho face OF II to render constructive
service, and the great mass of the legis-
lation on the statute books OF the State
for all OF which the Governor claims
credit is the evidence and the result of
such service"
Judge Miller said Gov. Smith had ac-
cused him of being opposed to social
welfare programmes. This he denied,
saying he favored real social welfare
and was not for every kind proposed
Just because IL is labelled social welfare
Il stand squarely for every constr1lc-
tive effort TO advance social welfare
and to promote social and Industrial
Justice" he continued. THE attainment
of justice is what society is striving |
for. We may get on wrong roads; we |
may take false leads, but justice is |
what we are, striving for, and justice !
IS neither more nor less than the square |
deal Give every one his just due. es- !
tablish our Industrial relations and So 1
cial relations on a basis which will !
assure each his just deserts, and you ,
will have found and applied the prin-
ciple of Justice"
