spects to Governor Smith and has
criticism of his opponents campaign
brought forth the lveliest applause OF
the meeting.
Judge Miller prefaccd his criticisms
of Governor Smith with few re-

tion, the speaker held, was inconsistent
with that assumed bv President Will

teenth Amendment before its adoption,
lie considered its enforcement, now tina t
its constitutionality had been estab-

the Nolstead act. He declared that on
these points he and Governor Smith
difer-that the Governors idea would
be to continue the beer act' which was
passed in this state, and which has be-
come invalid as it conflicts with the
rule which the Supreme Court says is
binding in this state.
Judge Miller said he had been in
formed that the things which he in
tended to say on law and order in his
New York speeches might not prove
popular. He sad he did not believe
that to be a fact, and was willing to
abide by his decision. Il can better

Mr.. Miller took up the promises Of
alton in Brooklyn.
Governor Smith, he asserted had
made his campaign in part on the Bal
bone Street tunnel disaster on the
Brighton Beach line This disaster,
Mr.. Miller said, was due in part to a
bad curve and grade and despite the
election promises of Governor Smith
the curve and grade remained precise
ly as they had been when a brighton
train Jumped the track, killing 100
persons.
""Governor Smiths campaign thi:
