GOV. SULZER
VICTIM OF TAM-
MANY LEADERS
William Sulzer, Governor of
the state of New York, was
impeached last week and remov
ed from office There were three
charges sustained against Gov
Sulzer. On charges 1 and 2 there
were 39 to 18 votes, a bare two-
thirds majority, the former arti-
cle charges the governor falsified
his statement of campaign funds
the latter charges he committed
perjury in so doing. On article
4 charging the governor with
suppressing evidence by means
of threats to keep witnessesfrom
testifying before the legislative
investigating committee,the vote
was 43 for conviction and 14 a-
gainst. The impeachment court
was composed of 9 Judges of the
Supreme court of the state and
48 members of the legislature.
The case has been in progress
since early in September. It has
attracted wide attention and stir
red the state of New York more
than anything else has in many
years. Many of the members of
the impeachment court explained
their vote and presiding Judge
Cullen, voted against every ar
tide of impeachment and render
ed a lengthy opinion why the
governor was not guilty. It is
conceded that the charges and
impeachment were brought a-
bout by Tammany because Sulzer
refused to take orders from that
organization, and Sulzer is great
ly criticized and condemned for
not taking the witness stand in
his own defense. However, al
- ter the trial, Sulzer issued a stat-
ment, giving his reason for not
testifying, by stating that the
testimony of his principle wit-
ness had been ruled out by the
packed court and that his tes
timony would have been treated
in the same way, and among oth-
er charges he brought against
the trial court was that ■> of the
senators whom he named, sat in
powerful and doubtless the most
corrupt political organization in
the world.
Tammany has the"dope"on ev-
ery man to whom it intrusts
power. This is the secret of its
own power. Sulzer either forgot
this fact or else foolishly fancied
that he himself was powerful e
nough to go it alone. New York
has a fresh opportunity to re-
new the old struggle, but what
New York will do, no one ckn
tell. When the result of the j
trial was made known at Albany, j
there was a great demonstration.
At the Governor's mansion hun-
dreds of people assembled, with
a brass band, and presented the
Governor with a loving cup and
there was plenty of red fire ora-
tory, too and expressions that
| Sulzer would be put back by the j
people as governor again.
Later-A New York dispatch ,
dated Tue-day says thaf.3900 reg
istered voters of I'OOO voters in
the Oth legislative district of NY
had signed a written petition,
without regard to party, asking
Gov. Sulzer ti become a candi-

bly. Sulzer accepted the nomi-
nation and will make the race.
