Applause Lasting a Minute
Creets Him at Palm Gar

Judge Miller said NO school teacher
med be intimidated into voting for
nc. and none will be punished for not
votng for me. l merely mention this
to indicate the character Of a campaign
that is being waged by the other side
The judges first speech was at Palm
Garden, Greene and Wilson avenues,
where an audience that overfowed into
.he street was presided over by United
States Senator William NJ Calder.
Judge Miller was greeted with one
OF the most enthusiastic outbursts Of
applause he has received during his
i've weeks Of campaigning 1t lasted
for more than minute after he as
cended the platform. He was intro
duccd as "the next Governor" by SEN
ator Calder.
We've reached the closing days of
the canvass" said Judge Miller, land
me result - already arrived at. All
mat need be done is to record the re
suit. And we behold the unique spec
tacle in a Presidential campaign In
which we are to have solemn refer
endum on great issues. Of the Demo
cratic candidate for President striking
ms colors at the eleventh hour and de-
caring that he is willing to take the
nesrt out of the covenant
But he is too recently converted TO

cal operation. His bslated declaration

Reviews National Campaign
Jutge Miller then briefly reviewed
tne national campa gn, declaring that
has chief fgn, since he began cam

Der " as TO help swell the majority ior
Harding and Coolidge.
And continued Judge Miller, we
behold another curious thing in this
camnaien We see the candidate for
Governor on the Democratic ticket on
tic stump for the last month or more,
and, with the actual campaign Wl'hln
twenty-four hours OF closing, the
Democratic standard bearer in his
tate mas not said elngl9 word IN
support Of the cand date he helped to
select at San Francisco, nor the plat
form which he helped dl At. Al IL s
ali the more unusual when you recall
mat two wears ago Governor Smith
went through the state pleading that he
he elected so that he could back UP
the Wilson Administration.
But Governor Smith. long before
'he present campaign started. learned
that the Wilson Administrator WAS the
last thing in the world the American
PEOPLE wanted to back UP and so he
accordingly elected to make the race
Vow. in making this race Governor
Smith has night after night claimed
credit for everything that the Republl,
cans IN this state have done. and
ba1ned the same Republicans for ms
broken promises.
Judge Miller took from his pocket 3
card being circulated by Governor
'0n this card Is the following said
Judge Miller, after explaining Naal

"'Who saved 100000 rent payers
from losing their homes? Alfred e

rlshed that result" observed Judge
night claimed that he called the extra
session and forced the Republican
LEGISLATURE TO pass the rent bills. Now
Won know. and so does Governor Smith
and he so stated at the time-that
he called the extra session after the
lockwood Committee Informed nm
mat 1t was ready to report and hso
uew legislation TO introduce IN order
TO take care of the critical situation
due to the housing shortage and to the
rent proiiteering in this city.
Republicans Demanded Call
And You also know that President
la Guardia of the Board of Aldermen
and President Curran OF the Borough
Of Manhattan, both Republicans. in
sisted long before Governor Smith
made uD ms mind that he call an extra
session.
Now. then, he has made similar
false claims with respect TO the IN
creased pay for school teachers. Hand
bills are being distributed asking the
teachers not to forget that they owe
81 debt Of gratitude to Governor smith
ior the pay increases. And, again, II
was Senator Charles c. Lockwood, e
Republican of your own borough, who
introduced the bill and fought for It
Ii was a Republican Legislature which
passed it.
The Governor also Is trying to make
1t appear that unless he is reelected
the teachers pay increase will be cut
out next year. when he knows. for Il
has been published, that | am on rec
ord for not only making 1t permanent
but seeing that the teachers are paic
more. not less, and l know the needs
Of the teacher at least as well as does
Governor Smith
Judge Miller also took up the trac
tion situation and repeated his chal
lenge TO Governor Smith to make goo1
the statement that he had said he was
for Increased fares.
Il have said nothing of the kind,
SAID Judge Miller. and l call up6r
Governor Smith to point TO single
word I uttered which gives HIM ever
the slightest justification for this state
ment'
Judge Millers other speeches il

Republican Club.
