ROOSEVELT'S SISTER
FINDS MILLER BEST
Mrs. Robinson Says Admins
tration Is Greater Than
Her Brothers.

Mrs Corinne Roosevelt Robinson. SIS
ter of the late Col. Theodore Roosevelt
said yesterday that Gov. Miller has
given the State a better administration
than her brother. Mrs. Robinson re-
turned from visit to various districts
where she observed conditions ana
studied the political situation.
The voters OF this State are stand
ing behind Gov. Miller with their heads
as we'll as their hearts, she declared.
Gov. Nathan l.. Miller has given for two
years the best administration the En-
pire State has ever had. and this | say
with memory undimmed to what Theo-
dore Roosevelt and Grover Cleveland did
as Governors of New York state.
Gov. Miller has shown in his admin
istration the legal equipment OF Grover
Cleveland and the dauutless courage OF
Theodore Roosevelt in facing the grave
problems connected with his difficult po-
sition. His record is astounding, for
two years is a short time in which 70
accomplish vast strides in the economy
and efficiency OF government and, ac-
tual achievement in the welfare ideals
which have so long hung fire.
with extraordinary industry, as we'll
as ability. Gov. Miller has gone over
his great dominion, searching into the
ing out the difficult problems Of port
authority and water power. and giving
scrupulous attention TO the questions Of
maternity welfare and children's courts
and all other important questions
brought before the last Legislature,
many OF which have been made into
long needed laws
"Stanchly upholding the forces OF law
and order. at the risk Of his popularity
with some OF those misled by evil
propa ganda. Gov. Miller has always put
himself squarely on the side OF what the
Stars and Stripes stand for-namely,
liberty within the law.
Let the people of the State search
the record of the two administration
and their answer 10 the question OF
which administrator has been most
beneficial to the State can but be an
overwhelming majority OF votes for
Nathan L. Miller on Election Day"

Mr.. Prendergast compares the period
