practical control. His govern
ment is government by an in
visible power.
The fight is the fight of the
people of New York against
Tammany and the Republican
machine. 1t is the fight Hughes
had to face. Dix was destroyed
by the same struggle. He cast
his lot with Tammany, and, with
the sentiment against the organ
ization mounting. Murphy Jet
tisoned him at the last conven-
tion.
After his Inauguration Sulzer
had TO choose between Tammany
and the anti-1ammany sides. and
he east his lot with the indie
pendents. 1t brought the wrath
of the Barnes and Murphy BIZ
partisan combine upon him. He
refused to make Murphy appoint
ments, and Murphy declared
that Sulzer would be out of office
in six months.
With implacable fury, the
tight for his removal is now on.
The Murphy charges against
Sulzer are serious. Sulzer is ae-
cused of using campaign funds
for specializing in Wall Street
stocks. The charges are by
brokers who are angry because
OF legislation procured by Sulzer
restricting their business.
Sulzer denies part of the
charges and offers explanation
of others.
Yet, in spite of his splendid
fight for district primaries and
clean government, Sulzer is un-
der a cloud. His adminsitra-
tion is compromised. Murphy's
empire, above the New York
constitution, the New York peo-
pie and the New York laws. has
at the first onset fought the gov
ernor to his knees.

cause Murphy's Legislature re-

The governors appointing

the naming of his own stenogra-

done by Murphy, who holds no
