PRECEDENTS CITED
FOR SULZER CASE
In Pennsylvania Trial in 1891 the Courts Denied the Right of
the State Senate to Impeach-Governor Reed in Florida
Won Struggle Like That With GBn.

William Sulzer, the chief executive OF
New York. who has been presented by
the assembly of that State for impeach-
ment, challenges the legality of the
State legislature, convened in eXtraor-
diuary session, 10 institute such a pro-
ceeding. on the grounds that such ac-
ton by that body is beyond the scope
Of the call under which 1t was con-
vened. This will probably be the point
emphasized by the defense when Cover
nor Sulzer is brought to trial before the
State senate and the members of the
court of appeals.
Meanwhile, the courts of New York.
and probably the Supreme Court of the
United States. will be asked to deter
mine who is the governor of the State,
pending the conclusion of the impeach-
ment trial. Lieut.. Gov. Martin H.
Glynn asserts claim to the office. con-
tending that under the State constitu-
tion an impeached official is automatic
ally stripped of his office. Governor
that he rightfully continues in office
until convicted of the charges preferred
against him.
Case in Pennsylvania Cited.
In State impeachments apparently
there is but a single precedent where a
legislature sitting in extra session at
tempted to remove an official from Of
flee by impeachment proceedings, and
in that instance the jurisdiction of the
senate was denied.
On October 13, 1891. Governor Patti
son of Pennsylvania convened the senate
of that State on executive business" to
consider charges against Henry h.
Boyer, State treasurer, and THOMAS NC
CaInant, auditor general The ofncials
We're accused OF having wasted the
States funds by permitting John Hards-
ley, city treasurer of Philadelphia, ID
consideration Of alleged bribes paid TO
them by him, to retain State taxes
which he had collected, and was alleged
to have embezzled in excess of 100000.
Counsel for the defense objected to
the Jurisdiction of the senate upon the
ground that the governor had no power
to institute the charges; that they were
not executive business" and that no
officer should be removed for an IN
peachable offense without first having
been previously convicted upon an i'm
peachment. The senate, by a vote of
IS TO 19, upheld these contentious.
Florida Case in 1868
In 1865 Florida witnessed a situation
very similar TO that now maintaining
in New York On November the
house of representatives impeached Gov.
Harrison Reed. On the same day its
committee presented the Impeachment
at the bar of the State senate. While
the entire body numbered twenty-four,
only eight were present, and these con-
stituted a majority of those in office,
as there were at the time a number
Of vacancies and disqualifications.
Under the State constitution, i'm
peachment suspended from office until
the termination of the trial. and that
night Lieut.. Gov. William H. Gleason
issued a proclamation that he had TAX
en- possession of the office of governor.
The following day the assembly ad-
journed until the first Monday In jan

ISSUE STATEMENTS
ON CURRENCY BILL
Speaker Clark Defends Meas
ure, While Congressman
Henry AssaiIs 1t.

Coincident with the reassembling Of
the Democratic caucus on the currency
bill today. Speaker Clark and Congress-
man Henry, both Democrats, are spon-
sors for formal statements taking en-
tirely opposite views of the Glass
owen bill. The Speaker says the meas
ure is a great improvement over the
present patchwork system and that 1t
gives several advantages to the rural
communities. Mr.. Henry denounces the
bill as an asset currency measure and
says 1t is inimical to the interests of
the farmer and wage Garner.
Congressman Henry advises the
farmer and wage Garner to wake up
and assert themselves. Taking an in
direct slap at the promises of Admin
istration leaders to pass a rural
credits bill next session, Congressman
Henry says:
The time for the farmer and wage
lation is concurrently with the pressure
and passage of such laws at the in
stance of the banker and commercial
ist." The Texas member says he is
able to legislate now for the farmer
and wage Garner.
Speaker Clark thinks the currency
bill will go to the Senate early in De-
cember and that House Democrats will
present a united front after the caucus.
The caucus, which went back to work
today, probably will continue for the
remainder of the week The bill will
not be "railroaded," says Mr.. Clark.
The Speaker refers TO the necessity
of keeping campaign pledges, such as
tariff reform and currency reform, and
also to the decision of the. President to
have immediate action.
Regarding the merits of the Glass
Owen bill, Speaker Clark adds:
What will be counted as among the
good features of the bill by such great
agricultural constituencies as / repre-
sent is the fact that II makes provision
in the savings department for loans
on improved farming lands. a brand
new thing for National banks; that II
will tend to keep the peoples money
in the places where IL is owned and not
concentrate so much of ii in one place,
and that II prohibits the loanng of the
bank deposits for purposes of specula-
ton in stocks and bonds; but the best
feature of IL is the Governmental con-
troll of the National banking system.
It IS objected that it confers too much
power on the Federal reserve board.
but power must be lodged somewhere,
in somebody, and 1t is better to lodge
II in a Government board than in pri-
vate hands"

EIetant Secretary, handles all public
heath matters, gave his Endorsement

curing. the lieutenant governor as
acting governor. sent a message ad-
jOurning that body.
Governor Reed, however, had refused
to recognize his impeachment, or to
surrender any Of the duties of the Of
flee, and called upon the State supreme
court to determine whether there had
been a quorum OF the senate when
the charges were presented. Lieuten-
ant Governor Gleason wrote the court,
advising that the question was one eX-
clusively in the Jurisdiction of the SEN
ate and assembly. The court how
ever, held unanimously that there had
not been a quorum, and consequently
Governor Reed had not been sus-
pended.
Clayton Case in Arkansas.
In December. 1868. a quo warranto
proceeding entered judgment remov-
ing Gleason from office on the grounds
of ineligibility. He, however, obtained
a writ of error and supersedeas from
the Supreme Court of the United
States, which enabled him to hold the
office a while longer. On the conven-
ing of the legislature in January, 1869,
tervening election, but both houses
recognized Governor Reed as still in
office, and the impeachment was
abandoned.
An Arkansas legislature in 1871, hav-
ing attempted the impeachment of
Gov. Powell Clayton for an alleged con-
spiracy to deprive Lieut.. Gov. James NJ.
Johnson of his office and removing other
officials, adopted a resolution suspend
ing the governor from exercising the
functions OF his office, and. to prevent
his escaping their act, locked him in
the executive chamber and nailed the
door He notified the assembly on the
following day that he had been advised
of the passage of the resolution of sus-
pension, but informed that body that
he had been advised by counsel that the
constitution did not confer the power
of suspension upon the assembly.
Another Sulzer Contention.
for the court of impeachment as, in the
minds of the assembly managers, would
make the trial farcical, and. after much
wrangling, new managers were selected
by the lower house and new rules
adopted by the senate. When finally
the case was called the house managers
reported that they could not find suf-
ficient evidence on which to predicate
their case, and, with the consent OF the
senate, the charges were Withdrawn.
Another ground on which Governor
Sulzer challenges Impeachment is that
certain of the, articles-especially the
one dealing with his campaign con-
tributions-deal with acts which oc-
CURED before he entered upon the
gubernatorial office. In 1879, Washing
ton L. Goldsmith, the comptroller gen.
eral Of Georgia, was impeached and
tried before the senate of that State.
In the course Of the trial the senate
permitted evidence to be introduced OF
offenses charged in the articles, which
were committed during the term of the
same office Immediately preceding that
then held by the respondent.
The Minnesota house of representa-
Iives impeached William Seeger. the
State treasurer in 1878, for conceal
ment of the delinquency of his prede-
cessor in office, and loaning State
funds. He was convicted. after he had
attempted to resign, and later pleaded
guilty.

LEADERS TO SEEK
LONGER SESSIONS
Effort will Be Made This Week
to Hurry Along the Tariff
Measure in Senate.

In order to hurry along the tariff bill,
Senate leaders will endeavor this week
to arrange for longer sessions. The
progress on the bill is so slow that the
general opinion about the Senate now
is that there will not be a final vote
until about october !.
1t was hoped by the Administration
that a breaking down of opposition to
the tariff measure and TO currency leg
isIation, and the end of the special ses-
sion would be expedited. Thus far.
however, there is no sign that the end
OF the session will be hastened. In fact,
members of Congress are about con-
vinced that the special session will not
end until time for the regular session
to begin.
May Lose Holidays.
MANY believe currency legislation will
not be enacted at the special session.
and that the problem will still remain
to be solved when the regular session
opens.
One possibility now talked about I:
that there will be no holiday recess,
and that the Senate will go right on
talking currency legislation through the
time usually allotted to the holidays.
On the other hand, old-timers about
the Senate say that just at the time

they deem 1t possible that the currency
bill will be hurried through and the
