ANGUS SHAW, Treamurer, 65 k Row, * GOHRPM PULITZER, Jr. Secretary. 03 Park Row, GOV. SMITH. N voting for the next Governor of New York two weeks from to-morrow, voters of this State will not have to consiler whether they are putting their Commonwealth into or keeping it out of a League. There is not a shadow of reason why New York voters should look at the coming State election otherwise than in the light of the home interests of New York's 10,380,000 population. Gov. Smith is no stranger to the people of this . State. There is no man in public office with whom they are better acquainted, Those who didn't know him so well got to know him a lot better when he ran for Governor two ~years ago. They have learned more about him since. ‘ou have often heard men and women of all partfes say something like this: “After all, the kind of man we need for Gover- for is an able, clear-headed citizen who has been through the mill of State politics and learned to know his way about, but who has kept his honesty, his independence and his capacity for seeing the public interest this side of his own. If he's that kind of man, it makes little difference what party he belongs to.” : No Governor ever filled this bill better than Alfred E, Smith. Everybody knows he made himself what he js by his own will and effort. Everybody knows he was a Cherry Hill boy who had to make his start up the ladder from the first rung. Everybody knows he got his early political training in the rough but thorough school of Tammany Hall, » Fewer people, perhaps, know the hand work of self-improvement that went into the years in the course of which he was a memtber of the Assem- bly—Speaker for one term, Majority Leader for one term and Minority Leader for three terms— Delegate to the Constitutional Convention of 1915, Vice Chairman of the Factory Investigating Com- mittee, then Sheriff of the County of New York afd later President of the Boant of Aldermen of this city, - During these years he was getting what has since been recognized as an exceptional grasp of the laws and the governmental machinery of city and State, The Chairmanship of the Factory Investigating Committee gave him inside knowledge of working conditions—knowledge that has borne fruit in his efforts to keep the State of New York at the fore- front in legislation to better the lives of working people, But this was only one interest. Whatever he came in contact with he studied and built into his mental equipment, “What | was deprived of in the way of educa tion in my youth,” he sai when he was nomin- ated for Governor, “by hard labor I have tried to make up in later years.” “No man owes more to this country than I do. No man has been more benefited by the free institutions of this State than 1 have,” Americans like a man who talks that way about himself—particularly when he acts in, the same sprit, New York voters should remind themselves of these facts about Gov. Smith and note how his earlier record knits in with his attitude as Governor and with the things he has done since he has been Governor, It was truthfully said of Gov. Whitman that “he governed the State with his eye on the White House and his mind on the machinery of practical politics,” No one can say that about Gov. Smith, No Executive at Albany was ever freer from the kind of besetting political ambition that colors a man's conduct in office. a Gov. Smith has gone about the business of the Governorship as if he thought that to do his duty by the State would be the best recommendation he could earn, The practical, progressive legislation for which he worked as Assemblyman—the Workmen's Com- pensation Law, the Cannery Laws, the Foundry Law, the Fifty-four Hour Law for Women, the Prohibition of Night Work for Women in Fac- tories, the One Day’s Rest in Seven rule—has been the basis on which he has built as Governor, His Social Welfare Programme—which included Health Insurance, Eight-Hour Day and Minimum Wage Bills—his effort to secure legislation dealing with the Milk problem, his Housing measures for which he called a special session of the Legislature all bear witness to the Governor's keen, unflag- ging interest in concrete improvements and genu- . reforms, He did what he could for these pro- rammes with a Republican Legislature against him, \ Now, as a candidale for re-election, he is urging a new State budget system, with a closer consoll- dation of State departments and a pruning of dupll- cated staffs and agencies; wage-board legislation te fix living wages for women and children employed in industries; a thorough overhauling of prison ad- ministration and prison policy, with a view to ‘ringing the care of prisoners in this State abreast of modern standards{ and a cure for the present ee shocking neglect of inmates in State asviuins dor the insane, he old charge that Gov. is a Tamunany protege and therefore wears the Tammany collar has pretty well crumbled tw pieces. | Nobody has caught Gov, Smith taking orders | from any master in Tammany or'out of Tammany. Some of the bitterest foes of Tammany are among his supporters. Some of the best friends of Tammany are his worst enemies. The plain fact is that here is a Governor who seems to think the natural way to further such am- bitions as he may have is to be ag vigorous, wide- awake, fearless, independent, progressive and at the same time shrewd and business-like an Executive as New York ever had at Albany, That kind of Governor is too good to risk losing in any larger political turnover—and there ought to | he plenty of independent voters and Republican voters in this State level-headed enough to see it. Gov, Cox is coming Bast with the avowed intention of helping to defeat three Senators Wadsworth, Brandegee and Moses ‘These names alone should add more than @ little to the popularity of the Democratic can- didate, Aw the women voters have sald, “Wadsworth's place is In the home.” The same applies to Brandegee and Moses, THE MIGHTY MASCULINE MIND. NTELLIGENT women who are taking a new interest in political affairs this year must be sadly perplexed over much of the advice they are receiving from masculine mentors of experience, One new voter reports an experience on a Pulton Street elevated train, She clutched a strap that hung between two groups of men discussing politics. From one group she learned that Harding would get a vote because the cost of living was too. high. On the other side two friendly business rivals agreed that Harding ought to be elected because the bottom had dropped out of the market in the com- | modity they dealt in. | In each cass the Democrats were to blame, | “What am I to think?” she asks. | “Think for yourself,” is tha only good answer, | When two such contradictory yet commonly held Opinions come from supporters of the same candi- date, it is clear that one or the other is wrong—and very possibly both.
