Miller Victory
Of 100000 Seen
By Republicans
Ticket Will Sweep State by
Safe Margin, Committee
Predicts: Governor Held
Stronger Thar in 1920
Tug of War Is Forcseea
Leaders Predict Normal Vote
Will Turn Tide Against
Democrats Election Day

With q 70 campaign little more than
week from its end the Republican
State Committee is confident of victory
on November Z. The estimates of the
probable Republican margin vary from
100000 20 10000.
The leaders IN active direction of
the campaign at the New York head
quarters are George X, Morris, chair
man of the state committee; William
L. Ward, leader of Westchester County
and dominating figure in the state or
ganisation; Colonel Lafayette B. Glea-
son, secretary of the state committee,
and Jesse s. Phillips. chairman of the
speakers committee. United States
Senator Calder is at headquarters two
or three days a week whenever he is in
town. Each expresses confidence that
the entire state tisket will be elected
''It will be just plain, old-fash-
ioned tug of war between the Repub-
licans and Democrats" said one Of the
leaders yesterday. THE candidates for
Governor are the two strongest vote
getters that could have been chosen.
Each man will get substantially the
full party vote. That being the case.
the advantage lies with the Republi
cans, fer the state normally is Repub-
lican by about 100000.
Outside Vote Miller's
an round numbers there were cast
in New York city 100000 votes in
1920 for Governor. In New York Smith
beat Miller by q vote Of 7O9, GOA to
3S9,729 Outside this city there were
cast Ii total of 1,498,357 votes for Gov
ernor, Miller beating Smith outside the
city by vote of 946,149 to 5522os.
In round numbers this shows that
there are 100000 more votes outside
than in the city. SIN tn has the nd
vantage down here, and Miller has the
advantage outside.
The registration is nearly 200 0oo
less in New York this year than in
1920, when Harding swept the state bv
more than million plurality over Cox,
while Miller beat Smith by $4,000. Ro,
publicans believe that Smith is weaker
than he was two years ago, and that
Miller is stronger, on account of his
splendid record. We believe that Smith
Will get fewer Socialist votes than he
got two years ego; that he will get
fewer labor votes; for the reason that
he now is head of trucking trust that
has driven lots of little fellows out of
the business; that he will get fewer
negro votes, as the negroes are weak
enlng about supporting a candidate for
Governor who might, If he won, become
President, and be Dominated bv the
Southern Democrats.
1--WE believe that Miller is stronger
because he has saved taxpayers money.

Education Benefited
Under Miller Regime

George X. Morris, chairman OF
the Republican State Committee,
says that perhaps the most effec-
tive campaign document sent ont
by the committee is the statement
showing school moneys appro-
priated TO the several counties by
the State Education Department
for 1920, and for 1922. The total
appropriated in 1920 was the
product of the Smith administra-
tion, while that for this year re-
fleets the accomplishments OF the
Miller administration.
The distribution for 1920 was
$l1, ,9s7, ,620.2i, and for 1922 it
was S24,2o3,505.G6, an Increase

Surrogate Inyades Murphy Stronghold With Plea
10 Thvart Conspiracy for Delivering Con-
troll OF Bench Into the Hands of Tammasy

Surrogate John z. Cchalan invaded
the home district Of Chssles f.
Murphy last night. He spoke to an
enthusiastic gathering la Public School
No. 81. 2l5 East Forty-frst Street.
He was cheered as he pictured the
workings OF the local machine. and
after denouncing Boss Murphy and his
Republican political ally, Samuel S.
Koenig. declared that although Muir
ply, through his friend .Fishhooks Z

couldn't seize tie courts,
Let the bosses and their satellites
understand that there is one thing
safe from the grasping greed Of the
boss, and that while he may seize the
busses he cannot seize the ceurts.n
said Surrogate Cohalan.
The great moral issue in this cam
paign Is to preserve the courts from
the hands of the bosses. Murphy and
koenig have come together in bar

and brazen as 10 defy public opinion.
Heretofore the bosses, or at least one

their deals in private and in man

Perhaps in no district In Manhattan
are the local business interests more
concerned in the candidacy of one man
than in the 9th Assembly District.

publican candidate for the Assembly.
The Non-Partisan Business League was

craftsmanship Of Ralph V. Wechsler for
the sole purpose Of aiding the cam.

junior member of D. Kempner & Son,

| only through the apathy Of the voters
on which the bosses are relying. See
to It that they are wrong in their calcu-
lation. Show them that the voters of
New York are alive to their real in
terests and will not permit the courts
TO be made the personal asset OF any
boss.
Machine Activities Scored
Every day brings 60 us fresh evil
dence of the power of the machine and
Its disposition to crush all who oppose
1t, and to reward all those who serve it.
Two weeks ago the Board of Estimate
passed resolution in secret to in
crease the salaries Of the highly paid
heads of the municipal departments.
These men must be considered by the
boss as they are his aids in oiling and
running the machine.
"The next week the same board re-
fused to give any consideration to the
request for meagre increases of the
hard working and poorly paid city en-
ployees. We saw that board, through
its spokesman, sneering at the pleas
for small increases in salary made by
the chosen representatives OF the men
WHO protect our lives and safeguard
our property at the risk of their own
lives. Not emily was their request re-
fused, but they were told to quit their
Jobs if they were not satisfied and
threats were made to drive the city
employees and their representatives
forcibly from the City Hall.
This is typical example of what
ne may expect from a boss in whose
yes principle is nothing, and self-in-
crest and the desire to fatten tho
'urses of his henchmen his all-consum-
ng passion. The courts must not fall
under the control of such man. There
must be at least one department of the
government preserved as sanctuary
II the people, and that can be done in
his fight by defeating the nominee Of
he bosses and electing one who has
armed Murphy's cnmity by refusing
o DO his bidding. Let Murphy, if YOU
will, through "Fishhooks" Mccarthy or
my other of his dummies, seize the
'usses, but don't let Murphy seize your
ourts."

priations fer other purposes, Governor
Miller has reduced the state pay rolls
for personal service from S2S .tg7 80

total saving in personal service in two
years of S3,751 ,07a.62.

Tammanyized New York City, where
the appropriations and tax bills are
constantly increasing, but it means a
lot to citizens who want the cost of

didate to make extra votes by declaring
himself wet will not make any net
difference. 1t may get him a few
extra votes in the cities, but that gain
will be Offset by losses in the country

We expect Miller to come down TO

$4,000, and Smiths margin down here
will be around 25o,0oo. Calder will not
have any trouble beating Copeland and

the farmers financial credit and moral
support whereby they had been en-
aoled to get back on their feet after
the depression of the war period as
the first achievement. Second, Mr..
Mills listed the Fordney- Nc cCumber
