ROOSEVELT CERTAIN
GOV. MILLER WILL WIN
Praises His Strength, Courage
and Calmness.

Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy, or his way to his
home in Oyster Bay from Washington
yesterday. declined to talk about the
efforts of his friends to get him to
stand for the Republican nomination fol
United States Senator. He said nothing
about the fight of the Nassau delegation
for the denomination of Lieut. Jere-
miah Wood, but he did pay this tribute
to Gov. Miller:
Every time I have gone through this
State I am more and more impressed
with the growing strength of Gov. Mil
Ter with the people. The reason is that
Gov. Miller always stands UP In his
boots. You always know where he gets
off. He always knows his own mind
and has a grasp of every situation. He
puts through his program without bluster
and In courageous and clear sighted
fashion. Take the coal emergency. He
determined what ought to be done and
then went ahead and did It.
In these days when people are sort
of jumpy' they like to have a calm,
steady man at the helm Gov. Miller
will defeat anybody the Democrats can
name"
Mr.. Roosevelt has told his friends he
stands ready to jump out and campaign
from one end Of the State to the other
fol Gov. Miller. Those who know hin,
best say he wants to finish his tour OF
duty" in Washington and then be in line
for something else two years hence. For
that reason he will not permit his
friends to use his name as candidate
for the United States Senate or any
other nomination this year.

HOW GOV. MILLER SAVED
His Record Unique in Cutting
Expenses.

In answer to Democratic claims that
Gov. Miller has not actually cut State
expenses. Controller William J. Maier
reviewed yesterday in detail the finan-
cial administrations of the last four
years and showed that Mr.. Miller Is the

tion.
In the second year Of Gov. Smiths
administration the State expenses
jumped $49,00O,0O0 to S145,000.000. the
highest on record. This total has been
reduced many millions in both years OF
the Miller administration. said the Con-
troller.
Added to the current expenses OF
Government were numerous special APP
propriations which the Miller admins
tration was compelled to meet. These
included 22.687.000 for increased sal
aries for teachers: S10,500.000 for the
New York and New Jersey vehicular
tunnel: S14,16S.000 for the Federal
post roads; s5.569,000 for the State

than $4,000 900 for State highways and

Peggy when the latter was no bigger

To make matters worse, the hospital

had been associating with the other
dogs at the hospital and probably lost
some OF her ladylke manners. After
