tentiye audience that packed the Ioio-
~ naaa N..,Iirb Utica is situated, gave Miller
Mnsiority of $4,000, the largest ever
sssoraed. This year, it is said, Cow
.rnor Miller is even stronger because
ss is far better known personally. AS
.eonsecuence the first address Of the
as.state campaign was given under
rost auspicious circumstances.
f,oyernor Miller also emphatically
a,nied that he was a "reactionary,
Ssvoid of human understanding and
SeIing,p as charged by former Gov
,rnor Smith.
aThere is no room in this country
.sther, for reactionary," he declared,
and such man as the one described
oarht net to be public official.
People Are His Clients
arhe state government is business
affair ! have been accused Of being
" CORPORATION lawyer as we'll as re-
s,tionary, Well, the State of New
York is great business corporation
xth almost 100000 stockholders,
md Tor two years that corporation
hi been my sole client, and for two
yysrs have been trying to serve the
interests of those 100000 of stock
helders, and not of a part of them
only
also said was controlled by the cor
porate special interests" added the
Governor.
I'm the same breath he admitted
.sat his administration had been con-
t,oIled by another kind of special in
,srests. He called them the special in
,srests Of the people. ! will admit that
ifyou were to choose between the two
sinds Of government, one controlled by
the special corporate interests, and the
other controlled by the so-called
special interests of the people, meaning
particular groups of people seeking
either to obtain some group advantage,
or 20 exploit some fancy in the belief
they are beneftting their fellow men,
that out Of these two kinds the second
Is best. The FIRST is selfish, sordid, and
corrupt; the second, at least, is DOM
inated by worthy purposes. But there
Ia the third kind: government exercised
solely in the public interest. That is
the kind stand for"
Not Using Special Train
The Governors tour began officially
this afternoon, when his special car
vas attached at Albany to the Pullman
tast had brought the newspaper men
sM ssenographers from New York.
Contrary to the usual custom, Governor
aAeys party this year has no special
'ss eonfning itself to the two cars,
which will be taken from point to point
irregular trains.
lais is in keeping with the atmos-
phsnof simplicity which, by the Gov
eraor's particular request, will mark
The whole of the current tour. There
are To be none of the usual brass bands
. meet the candidate at stations along
the way; none of the traditional cam
Mlgn red fire and hullaballoo. Only one
speech day will be delivered, if the
present plans are carried out. The
Governors immediate encourage, more
over, consists simply of Major William
= Coogan, his military secretary, and
W u. l. Alexander, throat specialist,
who will attend to keeping the candi-
dates voice in condition.
The latter, by the way, is now start
ing on his fifth campaign tour, having
0sen with Charles E. Hughes three
Imes and with Governor Miller once
oeiore, As the candidate whom he has
stNnded three times out of four has
oeeh successful, he is regarded as
some'hing Of mascot by the party.
!, an early welcome was extended to
!ne miller group by delegation of
u..sa hepuDreans, consisting of Rep
Fred J. Douglas and County Chairman
D. q; Williams, Of Oneida County. who
boarded the train at Herkimer. a few
miles south of the city.
Democrats Badly Split
The strong Miller sentiment through
Wy Ins county, it is said, will meet a
d ssueo .slo democratic opposition. Not
