WET PLANK TO FORE
Dispute False as State Issue,
but May Have Influence
on Congress.
By LOUIS sEIBOLD.

New York is to be the political cock
pit of the nation for the next five
weeks. Republican and Democratic
leaders agree that the November re-
suit will exercise tremendous influence
in shaping the issues which will gov
ern the struggle for the Presidency
two years hence.
The candidates of the two parties
for Governor and Senator, particu-
larly the former, are generally ap-
praised by national leaders as repre-
senting the political normal differ
ences" and to be freer from extrane-
GUS influences than has been the case
in recent years. If these leaders are
correct the legitimate balance between
the two parties has been restored for
the first time since the European war
threw all the cogs and gears awry.
Consequently the national leaders of
both parties welcome the test between
the leading candidates, who are held
to be evenly matched. They believe
the battle will be fought out on solid
partisan lines, and will ultimately
produce distinct line of cleavage in
the matter of national issues to mark
legitimate differences between them.

Issues Clearly Drawn.

The problem which none Of the
rival leaders can solve is whether the
great personal popularity of Smith
running on radical program, in
Guiding a straight goods wet plank OF
dubious value. will appeal to the larger
number Of the 100000 qualified
voters OF the State more than tho lib
eral and substantial program adopted
by the Republicans.
The Democratic leaders character
ize the Republican platform as "reac-
tionary:" the Republican estimate Of
the Democratic pledge is that IL is
almost Socialist" more sympathetic
with the doctrines popularlzed by Mr.
Hearst than those usually put forth
by New York Democratic conventions.
Republican leaders assert that the
record OF Gov. Miller needs no de-
fense; the Democrats seem to think
that their candidate sizes up TO his
Republican opponent. and that their
platform will appeal 70 the radical ele-
ment which has been driven into the
Democratic corral or coaXed there by
Mr.. Hearst. From present indications
the fight between the two parties, as
far as the Governorship IS concerned,
will have the nearest approach TO le-
gitimate issues that has been tho case
in any part OF the country for several
years.
It will bo Mr.. Smiths record and
popularity against Mr.. Miller's record
and popularity with the voters OF their
respective parties. There is little In

Ter will win any great number OF Dem
ocratlc votes or that Mr.. Smith will

National Leaders to speak.

The most loquacious and convincing
of vocal artists in both parties and all
factions. with the possible exception
of the rabid dry Democratic element
headed by Mr.. Bryan. are to be turned
loose on the unsuspectlng voters of
the State to reinforce the arguments
and logic carolled by the home talent
No previous political development dur
ing the last ten years has provoked
such a concurrence OF views between
professional party leaders as the
nomination of Gov. Miller and AL
Smith, the Tammany idol. by their re-
spective parties.
Republican leaders appear to be
completely satisfied with both their
candidates for Governor and the lib
eral-conservative" platform adopted
by the Albany convention which re-
nominated him. The same is true of
the generally satisfactory results
which produced the ticket headed by
Mr. Smith under rather more turbu-
lent but typically Democratic condi-
tions. There is no question but that
the nomination of Smith has cleared
away a good deal of the factional con-
fusion that has existed in the Demo-
cratic party for four or five years.
The Democratic national leaders hail
the results of the Syracuse convention
as almost a blessing They are most
optimistic over the prospects for sue
cess The least emotional Of them en-
tertain no Illusions. OF course, as TO
the obstacles which confront their
popular candidate even with the ap-
parent support of the Hearst faction.

lists with any perceptible advantage
over Gov. Miller Republicans are
confident; the Democrats hopeful.

Sound government in the public in
terest or wasteful and demoralized
government conducted for special in
terests-that is the issue of the State
campaign as defined last night by Gov.
Miller in his speech of acceptance OF
the nomination at Cooper Union.
Denouncing the Smith administra-
ton as the worst managed affair in
the history of the State and conducted
solely for the interests of favored
groups, Gov. Miller challenged his op-
ponents 10 meet him on the clean cut
issue of the record written in the State
books in the capital.
Again challenging the Democrats 10
come forward on the issue they are
trying to inject into the campaign at
the start, that he has served special
int ests'' and is backed by special

all sinister influences Of whatever
brand look alike TO him. He repudi-
ated one and all who have axes TO
grind" saying he did not want any
such support, and charged that the
dark and sinister influences" were ALL
on the other side.
Long continued cheers greeted the
Governor. William M Calder. United

state ticket when they appeared at $50.
Many times the Governor was cheered.
His defense of his Official conduct, his
attacks on the Democratic manner OF

Fear Conflict In Thrace.

The allied Ministers in Constantinople
are understood to have drawn the atten-
ton OF the Greek Government to the
necessity of keeping the Greek troops in
Thrace under control so as to avoid the
possibility OF a conflict. This was due
to representations of the Angora Gov
ernment that the Mohammedan popula-
ton in Thrace was suffering exactions at
the hands OF the Greeks and that the
Greek troops were in a dangerous state
of unrest.
The Turkish cavalry has retired from
it's advanced positions in the Chanak
area. decreasing the danger OF conflict
