Staten Island. last night, Gov. Miller
said he should be reelected for thirty
five reasons-his accomplishments of
humane. efficient and economical gov
ernment.
The whole campaign came down 70
this, the Governor said whether the
people wanted that kind of govern
ment or whether they preferred a SELF
confessed failure whose main issue 'is
the fake, false promise to give the peo-
pie rum"
The Governor laid special emphasis
on the welfare work of his adminis-
tration-the work that takes dollars
and cents into no account in attaining
social justice and reclaiming human
wreckage, and most especially in wise
and kindly solutions of the problems
of childhood and of motherhood.
This was in reply to Mr.. Smiths re-
peated charge that MILLER is a heart
less reactionary," a charge that has
been keenly felt and deeply resented
by Gov. Miller.

Hylan's wrechns purposes" ara "a

What do the $1,000 transit employees

about the last three weeks. This is pre-
cisely the thing that Mr.. Smith is will
