i. ]. P. CONDEMN SMITHS STAND
Call t "ACt Of Partisan POli-
 tiCS'' at Convention

Rochester. N. Y, Sept. 30 Lpl - Governor Alfred E. Smiths opposi- ton to the proposed constitutional amendment providing for a four year term for governor, with gu- bernatorial elections held simm- taneously with presidential elections, was "condemned as an act of par tisan politics" in the declaration of party principles adopted by the New York republican state convention here today.
 We favor the pending constitu- tional amendment for the election of state officers for terms of four years. Of the senate for four years. and the assembly for two years" the platform declared. The amend ment provides that these officials shall be chosen in the year when the largest number of persons vote. We condemn as an act of partisan politics the democratic partys at tack on the proposal of a four-year term for governor. By such oppo- sltlOn an ellort IS made 10 perpetu- ate the hold Of Tammany Hall upon the state government, first through defeat Of this amendment, and later by substitution therefor of an al ternate proposal in order to shift the election of governors for four-year term to year midway between national contest when few CT people vote. Under the present form of ballot there is no longer any danger that the voter will be misled in confusing state and na- tional issue. Opposition to this amendment is based entirely upon the desire 10 procure political ad- vantage and we consider 1t a retlec- tion upon the intelligence of the voters"
