and / speak to the ignorant 1t Is a
bad state of mind for a man to get into
when he takes TO himself the credit for
all of the intelligence that there is In the
State of New York.
Gov. Miller said to the people in
Cooper Union last night: You have
been greatly lied to about the tariff
Who did the lying? THE New YORK
HERALD, supporting the Governor, owned
ty Frank Munsey, a leading Republican
and a man Of unquestioned ability, said
The owner of The NEW YORK HERALD
cannot stand for damn fool protection
ism and THE NEW YORK HERALD will
rot stand for it.. That editorial COM
ment was directed against the tariff bill
that the Governor claims the people
have been lied to about.
THE NEW YORK HERALD further said:
The tariff makers OF the present Con-
gress cannot go before the voters of the
United States on the issue of the Sen
ate's monstrous wool schedule. the
handiworl of sheep raising, wool grow
ing Senator's, without inviting political
revolution by an aroused nation Was
that lie, Governor. or was THE NEW
YORK HERALD, under the direction OF
Mr.. Munsey. stating the fact? THE
HERALD further declared. The Fordney-
McCun1ber tariff is so bad, SO unworthy
of anybody's support so incapable OF
meeting the test of popular approval.

rational issue of the election of 1929

II ana afraid, Governor, that the whole
tariff law looks like a surrender TO group
government. When all of the great
throughout the country force
fully expressed the opinions that | have
set forth. according to Gov, Miller. they
were lying.
II am afraid the Governor has got
into deep water. His advocacy of the
national tariff bill puts him in the posi-
ton Of reconciling his heart and his
mind to a paternalism that promotes the
welfare of the rich and the powerful,
while to his own people In his own State
he has declared that legislation looking
to the promotion of the welfare, the
health and the comfort Of men, women
and children, weak and helpless, Is a
paternalism that must be scoffed at 20
the very extent OF declaring that large

defiance of the women on the welfare
bills comes back to haunt him. A COM
missioner of his own appointment weak
ened his argument on the State hos

publicity for campaign contributions.
His own Commissioners have disputed
him on transit and his own city will
repudiate him on public service. The
Black Lake Bridge bill is a solar plexus
to his claims of budget reform. He Is
hanging over the ropes on home rule.
The referee has sounded the gong on
