NEW YORK STATE ELECTION TO MAKE OR UNMAKE IMPORTANT CONTENDER FOR PRESIDENCY BY EDWARD M. THIERRY 1 (Banner-Herald Correspondent) NEW YORK.—Advice from political wiseacres is to watch New York state on election day. They have it figured out that the 1922 campaign will make or unmake an important presidential contender. The man is Governdr Nathaniel L. Miller. His political fortunes make the state fight a subject of national interest. If Miller wins it is argued that denounces such ABOMINABLE WORKA-f b.

Miller, however, is being talked about more as the man who may get the Republican presidential nomination, if he wins this year— and more important, if Harding doesn’t want it again. The latest development in the political situation come Sunday with the announcement of the withdrawal of John T.

These were Governor Hard wick. .ludgte Walter K George. Seaborn Wright and John R- of Macon. NO MATERIAL ISSUES YET There is no national issue in the New York campaign for the election of governor and United States senator. Scarcely any other kind of an issue, either; lacking which, Governor Miller and his Democratic opponent, former Gov ernor Alfred E.
