The reign of terror in the French

death of two or three times as, many
more by other means. The French
revolution has always been considered
the highwatcr mark in bloodshed, but

Stockton Record: If you can re-

very few women were employed in bus

goods stores, restaurants, Schools hos
pitfalls, theatrical and small-town post
offices.
Today there is hardly business

at some future date, the woman not

The possibility now looms, that the
flood Of women into business has
reached its high-water mark This
unique turn of events is suggested by
survey made by Henry D. Sayer, in
| dustrial commissioner of New York
state. Economists say that "York

The increase barely has kept pace
with gain in population. On the
basis Of population, the percentage of
New York women gainfully employed
has stood still during the last decade.
Surprising occupations are selected
by many of the New York women.
They are employed as undertakers,
teamstcrs, horse doctors, aeronauts,
chemists, clergymen, dentists, lawyers,
inventors and mechanical and electrical
engineers.
The list continues at great length.
Its variety suggests that women could

with brown feathers on his back, white

to be not only one bird, but dozen

between the two parties in New York
turns on the liberal-conservative pro-
gram OF the Republicans and the more
radical light wine and beer policy of
the Democrats.
On the surface the Republicans, as
said, appear to have a better chance
of winning with Mr. Miller than the
Democrats to coin the personal popu-
larity of Mr.. Smith into the 6 ter
number of votes.
Political leaders Of ether States are
chiefly interested in the Congressional
contests; particularly the Senatorship.
The present advantage appears to be

whose record as Health Commissioner

He is good campaigner and is GER

unexpected seems to be generally ap-
proved. The chief influences which

issue between Gov. Miller and Mr..
Smith will depend on the strength of
the latter among the voters up the
State, where the Republican advantage
approximates 100000 under normal
conditions. II Mr.. Smith carries the
city of New York by a majority of
at least 250.000 the upstate vote
becomes important.
The Republicans know that Mr..
Smith is the best vote getter in the
Democratic party. He carried the
city OF New York two years ago by
more than $4,000. as compared TO
the 1000 given to Mr.. Harding as
a candidate for President. If Mr..
Smith can repeat his performance this
year the fght between him and Mr.
Miller will be close. That will depend
a good deal upon the strength OF the
Cohalan revolt against Tammany Hall
or rather Mr.. Murphy. and the actual
influence of the wet program which
the Democrats have enunciated in
their platform.
The declaration of the Syracuse con-
vention in favor of light wines and
beer was by far the most popular of
the many projects contained in its
liberal program. which In fact reflects
many of the so-called Hearst radical
policies. In a general way the issue

gaging human qualities gave him a
marked personal advantage. because
"Al' Smith is one of the most likable
men who ever figured in the. politics of
any State. If Mr.. Murphy had fol-
lowed the advice of Mr.. Smith two
years ago Mr.. Hearst would not have
been subjected TO the humiliation
which on Friday put an end to his
present political ambitions. The truth
is that Mr.. Murphy was afraid of Mr..
Hearst, not personally. but because Of
the latter's control over Mayor Hylan
on the payroll of the city of New York
which has provided comfortable jobs
for many Tammany men.
Mr.. Hearst used the Hylan admins
tration as a club over Mr.. Murphy to
win the nomination for Governor this
year-as the stepping stone to the
Presidential honors two years hence.
The Murphy machine in Manhattan
and the McCooey machine in Brooklyn
were comparatively easy TO subdue.
But the most plausible and persuasive
arguments of Mr.. Murphy and Mr..
McCooey to bring Mr.. Smith to terms
completely failed. Mr.. Smith possessed
something that neither Murphy nor
McCooey ever possessed. This was
character, determination, loyalty and
independence. 1t was this combination
OF qualities which finally forced Mr.
Hearst out OF the running for the
nomination, compelled Mr.. Murphy to
become an easy boss" destroyed the
power of Mr. McCooey in the Brook
lyn machine, reduced Mayor Hylan to
Hearst satrap, and put the Demo-
cratic party of the State on more
substantial and higher plane than at
any time in It's recent history.
Democratic sentiment, free from
dictation by Mr.. Murphy and Mr..
McCooey rallied to the support of Mr..
Smith Three hundred delegates from
rural districts equally anti-Hearst and
pro- Smith provided situation that
Mr.. Murphy could not control--or did
not wish to. The Tammany boss tried
to and did for time preserve absolute
neutrality between the Smith and
Hearst factions.
On the showdown Mr.. Smith had
more than 800 delegates, one-third
of whom were women. and Mr.. Hearst
only twenty-nine. Thereupon Mr.
Murphy responded to the influence OF
habit, threw the city delegates back at
Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Hearst took him
self out of the running. One of the
most significant features Of the victory
which has elevated Mr.. Smith to State
and perhaps national leadership was
the intensely bitter opposition OF
women throughout the State to Mr.
Hearst. despite his claim that it was
his influence which finally won fran
chise privileges for the members OF
that sex.
1t is conceded by both Republicans
and Democrats that the result of the
