circa 1920's. circa 1920's. Good. - A 6 inch high by 4 inch wide photographic portrait of Governor Nathan L. Miller, inscribed by him "To Seymour Halpern with my best wishes Nathan L. Miller". The corners are clipped and there is a tiny tear to the bottom edge. Once mounted in an album, there are glue stains and remnants of paper to the top left corner of the verso. Good. The American lawyer and Republican politician Nathan Lewis Miller (1868-1953) was Governor of New York from 1921 to 1922. Practicing corporate law, his political career was helped by his relationship with Andrew Carnegie and the United States Steel Corporation, easing mergers which created a mega-corporation. The Queens, New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern (1913-1997) started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law, including measures on schools, housing, civil rights, nutrition and mental health. A Liberal, he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City, and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits, including painting and collecting autographs, he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these, he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation. Good .
