member Of thu New York Iesisla,
ture
Smith charged that White got all
lis information from the. Reverend
| Miller.
White has brains and he ought
| to know better than to take any
information from an admitted liar
like Miller" the governor fairly
shouted at the reporters.
Pulling 4 sheet from his pocket
on which he had jotted down the
charges made against him by
White, the governor said:
White got this stuff from Miller
and Miller is nothing but parasite
living, on the people OF New York
by sending out this false informa-
ton.
'AGiller's recentappearance before
TIN United States Senate investi.
eating COMMITTEES showed that he
10 an admitted liar and It ought
to give the people an idea Of the
Words Fail Him
The Governor paused for a
moment as IL searching his mind
for words with which to describe
DIR. Miller, then he added:
Miller calls himself reverend
but he il. rAvered for. nothing
Then Miller didn't get. the facts
straight on your legislative record?"
the Governor was asked.
Absolutely no." he declared.
Turning to the notes he had on
the sheet of paper. the Governor
continued.
Lets take the worst thing he
and White said about me. They said
voted four times against a bill
that would have stopped gambling
and prostitution In the saloons. That
is not true because there never
was a law on the statute books
which permitted such things, con-
sequently there never was q bill
offered in the legislature TO repeal
any such law.
Refutes Saloon CHARGES
"Then they say voted for a
bill to permit the saloons to keep
open on Sunday. AS long as was
around the legislature never re-
member such a bill and l am sure
there never was any,"
Referring to the notes on the
paper, the Governor continued,
Then they say I voted for
bill to permit saloons to be near
schools. The court OF appeals handed
down a decision holding that where
a hotel or saloon had established
itself before a church or school was
built. within goo feet of it, the
license could not be renewed. The
effect of that decision would have
been to close the bars in many
OF the big hotels in New York City
and the legislature simply corrected
this.
The Governor said he had never
heard Of a bill referred to by White
as relating to the bribing Of labor
unions.
Its simply some more Of Mil.
ler's trash" he said.
The Governor started off in an
other bitter attack on DR.. Miller.
Miller started to attack me when
first ran for Governor and as
a result / have been getting more
votes every time l ran" the Gov
ernor said, and for the first time
during the interview smile lighted
up his face.
Asked IL he didn't feel that the
fact that White had broadcast the |

on the voters, the Governor replied: |
"I should say not. White has
brains and he ought to know better |
than to take this stuff from Miller"
The Governor then described Mil" |
Ter for a second time as an 'ad-
mitted liar"
Didn't Miller go before the United
States Senate investigating com,
mtttee and admit he didn't tell
the truth and doesn't that make
him an admitted liar?" the Governor
asked.
Continuing to pace the room the
Governor turned suddenly on the
and fairly shouted:
Why, Miller Ia nothing but an /
1e-karat. professional .faker."
Outside Of that he h q sos !
