Miller, Republican. met last night in a debate which attracted an audience that jammed Carnegie Hall. The debate was on a proposed $100,000,000 bond issue for permanent State improve ments. The measure is advocated by Gov. Smith and is opposed by the Republicans. It is expected to be a biz lssue in the next gubernatorial campaign Despite oppressive heat, standing room was at a premium in the big hall. Gov.

Miller contended the policy to he set up by the hond issue meant an abnegation of one of the checks held by the people “against legislative ex travagance.” If the issue was ap. proved. he warned. there were “many visionary schemes” walting for the ‘grév bag.” Audience Divided Equally. The andience was unusualiy tive, applause heing frequent, parently equally divided. A great wave of applause greeted Gov. Miller’s tribute to Gov. Smith's | presidential aspirations.
