OF the highway department during the

construction contracts were let for 800
miles of highways that had not been
previously contracted for. Since Gov.
Miller was inaugurated contracts have
been let for the construction of 1901
miles.
For maintenance and general repair in
1919 and 1920 the highway department
expended ss,27s,o00 on 1850 miles of
highways. To MAINTAIN s,0s9 miles OF
highway the Miller administration has
spent $10.320.000.
For reconstruction and resurfacing of
highways built since the beginning of

State contracts were awarded under
Gov. Smith amounting to S5,730,00o,
covering 275 miles. as against the con-
tracts for $9,347,000 for 1870 miles under
Gov Miller.
In 1919 1886 miles OF pavement were
laid and in 1920 34i.4 miles. In the
first year of Gov. Millar's administra-
ton 632 miles of highways were COM

which 81 per cent. is of concrete type.

Gov. Miller has not yet cast Off the
phraseology Of the great lawyer or rid
Nmself of the judicial sternness OF speech
and the aloofness of manner. which came
probably from long experience on the
bench and from dealing with inferior
Intelligence. He is improving day by
cay as a speaker. His talks are gaining
something in sympathetic appeal. But
he is not an actor. He cannot affect a
style utterly foreign to him.
His address is solely to the cool think
ing capacity of the electorate He as
sumes that this exists and that it can
he reached. He cannot make them
laugh. He is no glad handler. The
campaign. therefore, has resolved itself
into an address to intelligence as op-
T. osed to an appeal to emotion.
The opinion of Republican party
workers, accurate or otherwise, is
that Miller made gains upstate in the
last week and especially because of his
plucky style OF meeting the so-called
labor issue. Nevertheless the race is
admittedly close. Smith is strong in the
upstate cities and upstate workers
made tremendous efforts last week to
get out a full registration of voters.
There is the heart OF the business. II
the full Republican vote north of The
Bronx. or anything ike II, gets TO the
polls Miller should win. If New York
city falls down on AL Smith Miller
should win-if. AS it is we are all
guessing.
Now what does the Governor him
self think after three weeks of circula-
tion among the people? Here is what
he said tonight at his home in James
street, this city:
II am thoroughly satisfied with the
progress of the campaign. Evidences
are everywhere that the people are
II am not prophesying what the re-
suit may be. A Nndidate is not in
a good position to judge. He hears. for
the most part. the opinions of those who
are going to vote for him, not of those
who are going to vote against him. Each
candidate would be certain of victory
II he could take the ballot box around
with him.
The people know that for two years
they have had an administration at
Albany whose only purpose has been to
serve all the people. The Republican
party has nominated a remarkable

''The people themselves expect and are

The estimates yesterday were that the

comparison is obviously in favor of the

the nominee. ''the people upstate are

Smith. as he sat in his hotel apartment,

question referred to the well known fact
