add to cart   close window

Charles S. Whitman, Governor of New York, who seeks reelection for a third term, and his Democratic opponent, Alfred E. Smith, President of New York's Board of Aldermen, are conducting a canvass marked by features which are disconcerting to the professional politician. Both men are skilful political generals, well known throughout the State. Both are supported by highly organized machines, each of which seeks to attract and capture a new and uncertain element in the electorate the woman voter. In his appeal for votes Whitman can say with truth that his judicial appointees have been men of integrity and legal ability, and that he has put able men at the head of some of the administrative offices.
