Albany, n Y, Oct. 2l.-What vii
be the outcome of William Suffers
race for the legislature? This was the
question foremost in the minds of the
politicians around the capitol today.
1t was generally agreed that he viii
make IA great deal of trouble for the
organization in New York His fire
will be directed especially against
Aaron ], Levy, who is candidate fol-
municipal Judge, and Alfred B. Smith
the speaker of the assembly, who
seeks to succeed himself.
Sulzer intends to invade their dis
tricts and attempt to square accounts
with them for their active part in
! his Impeachment And of course, III
that fight he will oppose the Demo
cratic organization candidates gener
ally
Even Suffers worst political foes
practically conceded him victory in
/ his own assembly district. They were
inclined to regard the Withdrawal of
the Republican candidate as a trick
| intended to damage the Democratic
party a great deal at the cost OF a
small concession. There was no
doubt expressed that the Republicans
will work hard for Sulzer in the hope
that he will repay them amply by his
attacks on Tammany hall in case he
reaches the assembly.
The question which caused the
greatest speculation, however, was
how many votes Sulzer would be able
to swing for his speakership can
didacy in case of his election.
William Sulzer. impeached as gov
ernor OF the state of New York, was
nominated for the assembly last night
by the Progressives of the Sixth
assembly district Mr.. Sulzer. in 1889
began his public career as a member
,of this branch of the state legislature.
The nomination of the impeached
executive was brought about against
the desires of the state and county
leaders of the Progressive party.
After Mr.. Sulzer had been nominal
ed there was a demonstration at the
East Side meeting hall. Bands in the
street outside played national airs.
The nomination was made unanimous.
Mr. Sulzer agreed to accept the nom.
nation. Max Steindler, progressive
leader in the Sixth assembly district,
who placed the former governors
name in nomination, said Mr.. Sulzer
reached him by telephone from Al
bany, inquiring if he had been desig-
mated
Expects to Be Governor.
Albany, N. Y, Oct. 2l.-A few min
utes after the Progressive convention
met in New York that nominated him
for the assembly, William Sulzer is
sued statement telling why he had
CONSENTED to come back to Albany
Throughout the evening he was in
communication by telephone with
leaders in New York
There was never any doubt but that
he would have the nomination If he
wanted it, he declared. Nor does he
doubt that the first of January will
see him back where he began his po-
|itical career, twenty years ago. He
and his friends also are convinced
that he will go from there to the
,peakership and thence back to the
chair.
His promise is to make the fur !
