issue out Of the water or the water
out of the milk.
In his letter to Mr.. Mills Gov. Smith
' calls attention to the report just now
made public by DR. Herbert d. Pease
head Of the Pease Laboratories, Inc.
20 whom So samples of milk sold ir
New York City had been submitted
by Mills for analysis. Instead Of show
ing that there was anything injurious
IN the milk, or that IL was adulterateC
and impoverished, the results Of the
analysis indicate that the milk sup
piled New York City is better thar
that supplied in many other cities.
The Pease report has been con
strued hero as a. terrible blow to the
Mills milk charges, though Mr.. Mills
does not admit il. Indeed, Mr.. Mills
suggests that Dr.. Pease has beer
reached by Influences" but there is
nothing to suhstanttate such a charge
Gov. Smith said today that he did not
know DIR. Pease, nor did he know any
one who might influence him.
Sarcastic in Letter.
DIR. pease committed the unpar
tonable sin OF telling the truth" said
he governor, cuttingly sarcastic. II
his letter to Mr.. Mills the governor
does not mince words. Both the gu
lerniAtuli candidates are now as
sailing one another With personal re
marks right off the griddle. Said the
governor in his letter:
You have consistently stated that
vou had analyses which showed q
wide and serious adulteratloD OF the
milk supDly Of New York City. 4
man who would make baselesS state
ments like that, imperilling the lives
and welfare of hundreds of thousands
Of women and children, particularly
among the poor, merely for the pur-
pose of getting public office. is going
too far for decency. Yet that Is just
what you have done
The governor then discussed the re-
port by Or. PeaSe in detail and con
tinued. And now DR.. Pease tells us
hat your man Bullock instructed him
not TO report any IF the significance
Of his tests, but merely give the fig
ures SO that YOU could miSinterpret
them and mSrepreSent the fact, and
ne adds that, In fact, the tests he
made for you show that New York
has the best milk supply in the United
States.
Hits Also at Hearst.
Next COY. Smith hit at both Mr..
Mills and Mr.. Hearst. Mills sup
porter, - wing: Il had supposed until
today that you had learned this
method Of throwing hjllingssate from
Your political bedfelow. Mr. Hearst.
h,it today my attention was called to
he fact that YOU We're recently the
defendant in n proceeding for criminal
libel in the City Magistrates Court
az this city, prosecuted by William
Travers Jerome against YOU on be
half of three members Of your own
party. Schuyler NJ. Meyer. John II.
hammond and William II. Chad
hourne. In a primary campaign in
Your own party, to accomplish your
own ends, YOU charged these three
gentlemen who. you testified. had
neeu your frieuds) with disloyalty TO
the President in regard to n primary
election. When you were hailed before
the bar of justice. I am informed that
you. after sQuirlning under cross
examination by Judge Jerome, retract
cd IN open court everything you had
20 baselessy said against these three
gentlemen. Apparently you have the
habit OF mudslinging. 1t IS bad
habit at best. II operates merely TO
make a man an undesirable compan-
ion. But when a man IN public life
resorts TO II III public affairs. as |
have shown you have SO haselessly
done III connection with this milk
matter. he brands himself as unfit
t. receive any consideration what
ever from the officers of the State"
In conclusion Gov. smith said to
NIr. Mills: IF I ever get any reliable
information OF a trustworthy sort
hat calls for executive action in
connection with this milk question. /
will take It. But It is now clear that
nothing that comes from you falls in
that classification
Smith Baclxers Confident.
