The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-08-17

ernor g powers, has been drawn up, but
as yet no official has called for 1t.
Although every state officer not ap-
pointed by Mr.. Sulzer processes to re-
gard Mr.. Glynn as governor, all are ex-
tremely cautious about doing any work
until the political fog clears away.
Meanwhile Sulzer, with his detectives
TO protect HIM, wades through stacks of
mail in the executive chamber and holds
it against all comcrs; Apparently the
government Of the United States re-
CARDS Sulzer as governor, for all mail
addressed to "The Governor" is taken
directly to him by the uniformed let
ter carriers, and his secretary signs for
registered letters and packages.
Two Sides to Question.
Despite the opinion OF the attorney
general that the assembly had the right
to impeach Mr.. Sulzer and that Sulzer
should vacate his office, this is Ger.
tain; AS long as Sulzer maintains his
position in the executive chamber not
only many thousands of citizens but
many state officers as we'll believe that
he has some right to be there, and that
there is real question as to who is
governor.
Until some of the questions already
raised, like the validity OF Glynn IS
signature on bank checks and the requi-
sition papers are made the subject or
ruling, the business Of the state will
be attended with much confusion, if,
indeed, it can be transacted at all.
-ar. Sulzer expected to leave this
morning for ,Cooperstown with his wife,
but partly because Of her illness gnd
partly because Of his fear that he
would be oispossessed in his absence,
he decided to remain.
He was very much more cheerful to"
day. Plainly, he is encouraged by the
failure of Mr.. Glynn to attempt to
oust him by force. He has had u great
number of kilograms bidding him to
hold the fort, and in these he reads
popular belief in him, which he thinks
will quite overshadow the action of the
assembly, if it comes to a final show
down before the high court of impeach
ment.
Mr.. Sulzer, after conferring with his
attorneys this morning, gave out let
ter which he had dispatched to Mr..
Glvnn, but which the latter did not
know anything about until he read il
In his own paner. as he refused to wait
for it in his office.
This letter said that the writer re-
grettod he could not have Mr.. Glynn g
helm in Strengthening out the situation.
Sulzer Confident.
Sulzer, who never doubts his own
ability to make friends, is worried
because his lawyers Yl!l not allow him
to 60 out and attack Murphy openly,
He knows what the public sentiment is
against Tammany hall, and feels that
if it can be effectively aroused he will
never come to trial. This is altogether
apart from the plan of his lawyers for
his defense.
To newspaper men to whom Mr.. Sui.
zer talks, he says:
"The public is not interested in these
charges, They amount to nothing. Go
see John Hennessy and he will give
you a story so much bigger than all
this that you will have to print it.
We will have all these people indicted
in little while and then you will see
just how little this attack OF me
counts
Here is one of a few of the 250 te]e-
grams the governor gave OUT today:
/" Amsterdam, n. Y. Aug. 13.
"Hon. William Sulzer, Executive or
fee, Albany.
"The rank and file of the people are
expressing themselves in your favor
and wish me TO express to you to stick
tight.
(Signed) "THERON AKIN.
3" Member of Congress.
The legislature will officially recog-
nize Acting Governor Glynn on con-
vening Tuesday night. 1t will be nee
essary to have a message calling for
the passage of the supply bill in order
20 validate such action nt an extraor.,
dinary session. Sulzer has hitherto re.
fused TO issue such message aud has
thus kept the Legislature in continued
session. as no money can be had for
tic expense of The session until this hill
can be passed.
The Republican leaders in the assem-
bly,. who are strongly pIo-Sulzer, viii
fight against receiving message from
Glynn. but the Democrats have shown
that they have majority and the bill
will be passed
