P. OFFICIAL'S WIDOW TO POST Governor's Action Wins Applause--Farmers Resent Mills' Charges. By WILLIAM WOODFORD (Staff Correspondent of The Eagle.) Albany, Oct. 22 The dairymen farmers of the State today are seriously worried by the barrage of charges by Ogden L. Mills, G.

O. P. candidate for Governor, that New York City's milk is below grade. The majority of the milk herds of the State are Holstein cows, which, although they give more milk than other breeds, produce milk with a smaller butter fat content than do Jersey or Guernsey cows. It is the general belief among the dairymen that the G.

0. P. testa being made in New York City are not honest. They point out that the tests do not show the milk has been watered, although that insinuation is allowed to remain in the public mind. The tests, they say, merely are of the butter fat content, which is influenced by the type of feed given to the cattle.

Farmers Resent Charges. The butter fat content of Holstein milk is listed at 3.15 to 3.25. If expensive alfalfa feed is used the butter fat content increases. If timothy 18 used it decreases, sometimes to 2.75 to 2.85. In both cases the milk is just as wholesome and good.

The butter fat content in the milk of Jersey and Guernsey cows runs as high as 4 percent. In the farmer's honest to cry out opinion. Holstein low percentage of butter a fat, that it milk and tell the public, because of does not come up to grade. They point out that such milk cannot he injurious to babies, since no milk with a high percentage of butter fat can be given infants unless thinned with lime water or in some other way. Polltically, the result is that the up-State dairymen farmers, most of them Republicans, resent the statements of Congressman Mills, as do thousands employed in branches of the milk business.

The political situation in Troy and Albany is most satisfactory to GovSmith. In Troy last night the turnout for the Smi meeting was the largest in the city's history. The thousands were jammed in an ancient theater, reminiscent of the days of Abraham Lincoln. Five hundred stood in the street. "Troy is sure for the Governor." Joseph J.

Murphy, Democratic boss of the city, said today. "I think we will also carry Rensselaer County, which is normally Republican." An unexpected stroke of political magnanimity by Governor Smith 1s expected to bear fruit on Election Day. Two days ago Harry C. Lewis, treasurer of Rensselaer County and the county Republican leader, died. In the midst of the Troy meeting last night Governor Smith said: Would Name Widow.

"I sympathize with Mrs. Lewis for her great loss. But if she will call on me at the Executive Mansion on Saturday I will appoint her County Treasurer in her husband's place." The thousands went wild. The Governor's action was both a generous act and a master political stroke. "I expect Governor Smith, Senator Wagner and the whole Democratic ticket to win in Albany County a majority of more than 5,000 votes," Edwin Corning, Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor and the leader of Albany County, declared.

He pointed out that because there are only 61,000 votes in the county the Smith majority cannot go much higher. In Albany the registration this year is greater than in the last presidential year. Mr. Corning said he believed Franklin W. Cristman, Dry Independent candidate for United States Senator, would poll some 4,000 votes in Albany, thus cutting into the Wadsworth vote.

Judge Wagner will run along with Governor Smith, he declared. Smith Asks Mills' Plans. Back in the Executive Mansion after nearly two weeks of campaigning, Governor Smith rested today in preparation for his last two up-State appearances before election--tonight in Schenectady and tomorrow night in Albany. With him at each place will appear Justice Wagner. Both candidates will leave Albany at a time as undetermined, for their first rally yet.

the Metropolitan Digtrict Monday night at Yonkers. At the morning Interview with newspapermen the Governor repeated his charges that the Republican legislative leaders at the behest of the New York City party chiefs made a political football out of the whole question of teachers' salaries. The Governor was shown the latest statement by Congressman Mills, in which Mills charged Smith with "misstating the facts and the record" In the teachers' salary dispute. "When Mills says something about Smith and the Bible I don't know what he means, if anything," the Governor said, "but I do know that the presence of a Bible would not keep Mr. Mills from making a gross misstatement." Judge Wagner showed newspapermen an indorsement of his candidacy which he has just received from the Allied Printing Trades Council of Albany.

In Troy last night the Governor demanded that Mills, his Republican opponent, disclose at once changes in administrative policies which would be put In effect under a Republican administration. Quoting from A speech of Mr. Mills, who said that "Governor Smith and I differ radically in our conception of the functions of government," the Governor declared that the Republican candidate should outline the changes he would "That's a nice Court of Appeals phrase," said the Governor, "and if Congressman Mills is Just talking for the purpose of having something to say, that is one thing. If, on the other hand, he means what he says, he will have a radically different polley on many matters than that I have pursued. The people of the State know my policy, they are entitled to an explanation from him as to wherein his policies would differ from mine on Important questions." During the course of his reference to Mr.

Mille' ansertiona that he desired to return the State to the "payas-you-go" polley, Instead of relying too much upon bond issues, the Governor coined the new phrase, "Delay, linger and wait policy," as being applicable to the Republican program. Denies "Al and Jim" Talk. "The answer to all this matter of pressing State he declared "isn't milk, or Tammany Hall, either. You can't settle this situation by taking milk samples in the BronxYou've got to talk about it." Heeding the "Smith and Wadsworth" talk which is going around in many parts of the State, the Gov- If Your Bank Balance Could Talk It would select, a Stewart Truck to give satisfaction over a longer period of time at a lower cost of operation.
