ALBANY, N. ¥ Theodore Roosevelt’s usp cuse Tuesday night criticizing Gov. Smith’s policies, especially with regard to water-power development, was called a “comic monologue” by the governor in an address last night be- fore the Women's City Club of Albany. The governor’s subject was water power, but he digressed long enough to answer Col. Roosevelt's attack. Job Has Its Pleasures. “While the governorship is a hard, ing and grinding position,” he said, if a man has any sense of humor he can at times get a certain amount of pleasure out of it and I certainly was highly amused on reading the speech dolll\'ered in Syracuse by Col. Roose- velt, “The colonel savs that a consider- able body of public opinion suggests the passage of some legislation im- practical and unsound, although of a benevolent nature, and he says that 1 suggest its passage. It would have given the colonel a very uncomfort- able few minutes if some of the din- ers had asked for an example.” Upholds Water Power Plans, “He undertook to talk about State finances,” the governor continued. *I will dismiss that subject from consid- eration by the simple statement that his own followers indicate that he has not the slightest understanding of it. “That brings me down to the sub- ject of tonight—the development of water power, which in his speech Col. Roosevelt declared to be government. ally unsound. If it is unsound so is the port authority of the port of New York and the port authority of the port of Albany. So is the Boulder Canyon project on the Colorado River, none of which improvements are to be intrusted to private initiative.” January 2 h at S Athletic Ballots Fade.
