II am sure" Mr.. Hilles declared,
that the Republican party in New

defeat in this State was due to local
causes and issues rather than to any
inherent weakness in the party"
Gov. Smith will devote much of

cultivation of his candidacy for the

body seems to have understood that
he would not have accepted the gov

supported him for governor would
not vote for him for Chief Executive

expenditures reduced by one-half and
