NEW YORK. October 12.-At the
rate the political campaign in this
state is getting up steam, they will
have to set deck hand on the safety
valve before it gets into midstream.
The two candidates for governor are
going at each other hammer and
tongs and first thing you know they
will be calling each other a hard
name and branching out from that.
1t all started when Elihu Root at
the republican state convention. gave
Gov. Miller boost on his record as
governor which fairly lauded him to
the skies. 1t would have been
thought that New York never had a
real governor before. 1t made Alfred
E. Smith, the democratic candidate.
sick. and he said that when his time
| came he proposed to pull out some
of the peacock feathers and strip of
the yellow jacket with which his op-
ponent had been invested He had
been governor himself just before
Gov Miller and thought he had been
good one.

he went at it with a vim. Before an
audience of some 1000 whoopine
democrats at Yonkers he waded into
the republican record in a way that
showed his oldtime form as a two
fisted fighting man was still unim-
paired by two years aloofness from
the political arena.
He declared that the much-vaunted
economies of the Miller administra-
tion are delusion and a snare. based
upon expert Juggling of figures and
twisted bookkeeping. He asserted
that the Miller campaign is a smoke
screen to hide the real shortcomings
Of the Miller administration, and a
burning delinquency, in bringing to
destruction the efforts Of bipartisan
| reform In state government
Then he proceeded to analyze the
economies claimed by the Miller sup
porters and sought to show that they
