/ Big Upstate Vote Needed
The Republicans have got to show
a big majority above the Bronx in order
to elect their state ticket on November
Z, and they arc going to do it," said
Mr.. Morris. 81 find the organization
AFFAIRS in good shape, and former
| Chairman Glynn is giving me every ass
sistance With the details. The present
state committee staff will be retained,
| am giving up big business activities
IN my home town, Amsterdar,. by be-
coming state chairman, but | am glad
to do everything possible for the party
as a whole and the state as a whole.
The Republicans have named an ad-
mirable ticket Every name on the
ticket is campaign asset.
Il do not at this time care to indulge
IN prophecies. | am confident, how
ever that the state committee will
give good account of itself. ! expect
to resign from the State .Ath 'etic Com
mission, thus enabling me to give all
my time to the work as chairman.
expect to spend one day week in
Albany and shall often be in Syracuse
for conferences with the leaders in the
middle and western part of the state
L conferred with Governor Miller for
an hour and half Saturday on cam
pain plans and found him all ready for
the arduous speaking program which he
will begin tomorrow night at Cooper
Union, when he is notified, and which
will keep him busy the remainder of
the time until Election Day"
Mr.. Morris, who is member of the
State Athletic Commission, said that
while Governor Miller probably will at
tend the opening game of tho worlds
series tomorrow, he is not scheduled
to throw out the ball until Thursday
Predicts Miller by 100000
Governor Miller will win by 2oo,-
o0o," said Charles H. Belts, postmaster
! of Lyons, at state committee head
| only Democrat the Republicans feared
Hylan could have gone to the people
with what the Democrats would have
accepted as an issue. He would have
promised the upstate cities a FIVE
cent fare, like New York. Smith can
not do anything like that, on account
of the record of his Public Service
| Commission, If Smith had been turned
down he and other like minded dele
gates would have walked out of the
convention, and Smith soon would have
become leader of the state organiza-
ton, as David B. Hill did thirty years
ago. Smiths nomination is step in
the process of getting him out of the
! way of Murphy and Hearst.
Defeat VIII Finish Him
II say that Miller will win by 100000
because the Democrats have started
out to fool the people with a platform
noisome with claptrap and Hearstism
The platform will not deceive the up
state Democrats, however, A very IL
Eliminating thing was printed last
Saturday, following the Democratic
convention, in ''The Rochester Times
Union," published by Frank E. Gannett,
Democrat. In addition to owning "The
Times Union" Mr., Gannett owns "The
Elmira Star Gazette" "The Utica Oh
server and Dispatch" and "The Ithaca
Journal and News" These are all con-
solldated Democratic papers of good
standing ard circulation.
Platform Called Demagogic
ain his leading editorial Saturday
Mr.. Gannett, after paying Al Smith
compliment on account of his personal
popularity, goes on to say this" and
Mr.. Belts produced the editorial, which
reads:
"But there is something more in the
campaign than the personalities of the
nominees. There are two platforms
directly opposite in many respects
| Particularly important is the plank in
the Democratic platform that calls for
| the notification of the Eighteenth
Amendment and return of the liquor
| tfalhc by the sale of light wines and
| beers This issue is likely to over
! shadow all other considerations OF
course, the state government cannot do
anything contrary to the Constitution
and the platform declaration in that
! regard is demagogic and hypocritical.
It is designed to catch the support of
| the vets but in doing this it must
also repel every one who is in favor
| Of law and order and opposed to the
liquor traffic and the saloon with its
endless train of evils. The Times
Union feels sure that the majority are
opposed to the liquor traffic, and the
will Of the majority will prevail"
That shows" continued Mr.. Belts,
what happens to party when it re-
sorts to fakery and hypocrisy. The
Democrats themselves will not stand
for it,
Notify Miller Tonight
The first big Republican meeting Of
the campaign will be held at Cooper
Union tonight when Governor Miller
will be officially notified of his nom
ination. 1t is expected that most Of the
Republican state ticket nominees will
be on hand to hear Senator Wads- +
worth make the speech of notification
and listen to Governor Miller's ac-
ceptance.
The state campaign will be opened I
in Brooklyn tomorrow night, when /
