"It has been suggested that you will

York city"
THAT is something new to me-"
How was II that you were able to
carry Albany and other Republican
strongholds in the capital DISTRICT
Because the business men were for

that ! was their friend"
Charles f. Murphy, the Democratic
boss of New York city, who Is spending
his vacation with Gov. Smith. is more
posltive. He believes the Republican
Administration will not be able to sat
lsfy the people and looks for big Demo-
cratic victory four years hence.
Gov. Smith was asked about the trac-
ton situation in New York city. The
essence OF his replies was that there
are many traction lines that do not pay
and cannot pay, and the people are not
in favor Of giving TO the other companies
higher rates In order TO help out the
weak ones. Gov. Smith believes the
subways can be operated with profit
with alive cent fare. and said they were
taking care Of the crowds, though 1t was
necessary to squeeze the people into the
cars.
The squeezing only helps to swell the
earnings. he said II any system is
entitled TO an increase over the five cent
fare. he considers 1t to be the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company. The best plan,
I'm his Judgment, was one advanced sew
eral years ago 70 combine all the trac-
ton companies and then operate them
at cost

Weakest Among the Farmers.

Il was weakest among the farmers,
with whom Republican politics is a sort
Of religion. That was due partly to my
veto of the bill repeating the daylight
saving law. l sent in that veto be-
cause the great masses of the people
wanted the daylight saving proposition.
THE business interests considered me
a safe man for Governor and / always
was friendly to labor. / used to settle
labor disputes right in my office when
possible. There were times. though.
when | considered strikes to be unwar-
ranted and l used the State police in
breaking them up. l always knew what
| was doing, however.
During the campaign I made q. spe-
cialty of talking to organizations OF
business men, and when / explained
what ! had done at Albany those bust
ness men went away saying that | must
be right and the Republican legislators
must be playing politics.
It should be said here that Gov.
Smith does not seem to take his defeat
seriously; in fact. he seems to be re-
lieved at the thought that he will not
have to go through another two years
fighting a Legislature overwhelmingly
Republican When asked how he was
able 10 give an administration that was
so satisfactory he said that he was I'M
able to single ont only one thing that
steps out above all 9th ,rs: he simply
had tried to give the people business
rule.
II will say. though" he volunteered,
that / could not have been so successful
had | not had experience in the Legisia-
ture In my judgment serious weak
ness of government in New York is that
seldom is a Governor elected who has
the advantage of having been In the
legislature ! served in the Assembly
for many years. and was on probably
every committee at one time or another.
/ was even on the Forestry Committee
at one session. That experience helped
me wonderfully"

The ruling comes as result OF ac-

In 1885 there occurred an incident
