Intelligence.

STIRS HEMPSTEAD CROWD

Gov. Miller is angered by the dis
honest and sinister appeals. the falsi-
fication of facts and the impudent
trickery OF the campaign to destroy
or upset the work that has been done
in the last two years"
He attacked the Democratic argu-
ment for Smith last night in Hemp
stead, An audience that crowded the
Hampstead Theater and that rose TO
him heard him fiercely arraign Smith
and Hylan and their Tammany spokes
men.
1T is impossible for me in one
speech even to list the efforts which
are really an insult TO the intelligence
OF the people" said the Governor. i'm
possible TO supply a list of the false
appeals and misleading statements;
but almost at random / can give the
people of Nassau county some striking
instances of the mendacities Of this
campaign and of the lack OF respect
shown to the intelligence OF the voters
in all parts of the State.
THAT sort of thing marks a losing
own record. having no constructive
work TO propose. they have to fall
back upon promises made only to de-
ceive, statements made only TO mis-
lead. That is the way people act
when they know their cause is bad.
when they realize that desperate tao
tics are their only hope"
The Corporation Issue.
The charge that he is corporation
tool was militantly met. Speaking of
Smith. the Governor said:
He has been going over the State
nightly asserting that / am the tool
Of the corporations. while he is the
friend of the people. and his emissares
have been whispering that same sin
lister appeal. first to this group. then
TO that. But when his attention has
been called specifically TO the way cor
porate interests were favored under his
administration he has invariably hid
Gen behind the skirts OF others.
II called his attention to the favors
received by the public utilities corpora
tions under his administration lie hid
behind the Public Service Commission.
| called his attention to the fact that
corporate lobbles in his administration
were able to defeat legislation in the
interests Of the people. He hid behind
the Legislature. / called attention 70
his inefficient and wasteful admnistra-
ton of government. lie hid behind the
department heads.
II have been charged with being n
corporation lawyer. It is true that
among my clients were corporations as
well as poor men and women. I never
vet refused TO plead Just cause merely
on account of the size. But let me say
this. that my knowledge OF corporation
law and of corporate business has been
exceedingly useful In the last two years
In enabling me to protect the public
interest and TO serve my one client.
Let them 'call me "A corporation LAWYER,
Yes, | am corporation lawyer. I have
the greatest corporation practice IN the
state OF New York. for have II 900 o1O
clients belonging TO the State OF New
York and they are my only clients.
"Thc Bunk Deer Plank"
on Tight wines and beer" the Gov.
crnor stirred a laugh when he ssid that
"Al' Smith really can do much more
for the light wines and beer cause bv
staying in the trucking business than bv
getting himself elected Governor. The
whole subject, tho Governor said was
conspicuous example Of the dishonesty
Of the Democratic appeal for votes.
