Republicans TO Come Down
10 City Lime With Big
Majority, He Declares
i'm Palm Garden Speech
Assails Wilson Regime
Says Smith Forgets National
Issues and Would Have
State Play Lone Hand

Judge Nathan u. Miller, Republican
candidate for Governor, spoke to q
large audience last night in Palm
Garden, Fifty-eighth Street and Third
Avenue, at a special meeting of the
Republican County Committee. Samuel
Koenig. county president, presided.
Judge Miller declared that upstate
Republicans would come to the city
line with big majority, and it was the
duty of the organization in the city
to keep Tammany from being able to
offset it.
3 The Democrats were inconsistent. he
said, both Cox and Roosevelt having
expressed their willingness to have a
reservation written into the treaty.
which would make it impossible for
American troops to be sent overseas
without the consent of Congress, and
yet the Democratic party arraigned the
Senator'S who took the same stand.
Pays Respects to Smith
That's what the United States SEN
ate wanted, but Wilson said it would
nullIfy the treaty to insert that in
it," said Judge Miller.
The candidate paid his respects to
his opponent, Governor Smith, who. he
said, wanted to make his campaign on
state issues alone, craftily trying to
avoid any reference to national issues.
He said he considered the national is
sues were paramount.
II stand for the proposition that the
State of New York is not the whole
thing and must cooperate with the
other states and not go it alone. Gov
ernor Smith, with his state issues,
wants to play a lone hand. He can't
escape responsibility for the selection
Of the candidate and the platform at
San Francisco, and ask Governor
Smith to tell the people of this state
so, if he is standing on that platform. -
Judge Miller said that while he
could forgive the Democratic Admins
tration at Washington for what oc-
Cured during the war and for some
OF its extravaganza during that period
the Republican party can't excuse it
for the condition of unpreparedness
IN which the country found itself be-
fore the war and for its wild ex-
travagance since the signing of the
armstice.
Assails Extravaganza
He said that for the brief period
that the United States was in the war
it cost US almost as much as the
French had expended. He declared
that the government has had corners
on the market and that all the people
have been compelled to buy. He cited
the price of leather, which he said
was tender subject with him, as
: there were eighteen feet to be shod
in his family.
when the war ended the Democrats
failed to bring their extravaganza to
a Close he asserted. Evidently they
can't get out of the habit The only
way to cure it is to vote them out
OF office.
Il will stand on what l intend to do,
and not on what Governor Smith has
failed to do"
Judge Miller blamed all of the rapid
transit troubles in this city on Cover
nor Smith, and said that when the Gov
ernor was elected two years ago he
promised great reforms in the transit
situation if he was given a single
headed commission.
Despite the granting of this by the Re
publicans, he said, transit conditions
have gone from bad to worse and the
people face situation the like OF
which never has been seen before.
