After her newborn baby boy was
found under the mattress of her bed
with his throat slightly cut, Mrs.
Josephine Miserino, thirty-five years
old, of 500 St. Johns Place, Brooklyn,
was taken to the Kings County Hospi-
tai by the police last night for observa-

on the child's throat, the windppe Of
which, the physicians declared, had
been cut. They say the infant may live.
When Mrs. Miserino's daughter re-
turned home last night she did not
notice her newborn baby brother in
bed with her mother. She became
alarmed when her mother is said to
have refused to tell her where the
child was, and she ran to the home of
her aunt, Amelia Pacardi, at TT Ber-
gen Street, Brooklyn. When the lat

was, Mrs. Miserino is said to have told

Governors Campaign Com
Quoted on Excuse for In
creasing Cost of Govern
ment of State, Says Judge
5 Queries Unanswered
National Questions Affect
ing Purses Of People Have
Been Evaded Steadily
From a stog Correspondent

WATERFOWL, N. Y, Oct. 13.-Judgc
Nathan L. Miller, in speech before
2,400 persons in this city tonight,
charged that Governor Smith was con-
ducting his campaign on an alibi and
an excuse. He again challenged tic
Governor to answer the three questions
asked Monday.
Governor Smiths alibi is that he is
powerless to stop the mounting cost Of
government, which has climbed propor-
tionately higher during his two years
OF administration than ever before. It
mas increased from $84, 900 900 to S14O.
100000. There are 10,5O0,OOO people in
this state, so that every man, woman
and child in the state now pays $3.50
more toward the cost of government
than they did before Governor Smith
took office.
Governor Smith says that he is
powerless to effect any economies until
the state government is reorganized by
constitutional amendment. This process
would take at least two wears.
Governor Smiths excuse is that be
mas not been able to do the great things
winch he wished to accomplish because
ne was bound, gagged and fettered bv
Republican Legislature. But let me
observe that it has been his great good
fortune and the good fortune OF the
people of the state that he has had ?
Republican Legislature.
Answer Made to Excuse
-, But let me answer his excuse first
ne people can correct the unfortunate
SITUATION now existing by electine 6
Republican Governor and a Republican
Legislature. who can and will COOPER
ate to serve the public interests of all
OF the people of the state.
Now as to his alibi The Governor
mas power enough and influence enough
and authority enough to secure homes
and economical administration Of the
public business and end this constantly
rising cost of the state government i.
he will but exercise that authority and
influence and power as purpose to do
after January L."
Reverting to Governor Smiths fail
Nre to answer his questions which were
r, ooou o!i dOFeIHOT omlth dlSln-
cllnatlon to discuss nationa! issues.
Judge Miller said:
Governor Smith refuses to discuss
the gleat national issues awaiting de-
cision.
His answer to the challenge to dis
cuss these great issues is reuue st

we are suffering not from minimum

repeatedly his announcement of the

the ousting of the members.

Speaks in Louisville Tonight
The Senator's party will sleep here
tonight and start at 7 o'clock on a
rear-platform campaign across Tennes-
see and Kentucky for a big speech to-
morrow night in Louisville.
1t Is difficult here to find any basis
for the enthusiastic CLAIMS of a few
Republican leaders that Tennessee will
go Republican. 1t is true that national
ana local conditions combine this year
to cut down the normal Democratic
majority, but it does not seem likely
that the swollen Republican vote of
east Tennessee can overcome the
Democratic strength in the middle and
western sections of the state.
The Republicans, however, are hope
full of carrying the ChatsaAooga Con-
gressional District for their candidate,
Joseph Brown. He is opposed by Rep
resentative Moon, seeking reelection.
One Of the arguments advanced by
those who are forecasting Republi-
can victory is the big registration Of
Republican women (ncluding negress-
esq and, by comparison, the light regis
tration Of Democratic women A
strenuous fight is being waged by Al
fred Taylor, the Republican candidate
for Governor, against Governor Rob-
erts. A fight on Governor Roberts
within the Democratic ranks may aid
the Republican candidate.
The Governor is unpopular with the
farmers because of tax ievies resulting
from legislation fostered by him and
which the farmers assert has lightened
the tax load of corporations The
Governors action in calling a special
session of the Legislature for the rati-
fication of the Susan B. Anthony suf-
frage amendment is hurting him in
