\ wusm sulzer. long before he reached
h!sr present extremity. posed as the friend
Of the Jews Those who followed him
through the campaign for the Governor
shin remember a phrase which he used
many tines
And Tonight there are five million
Jews m Russia who say prayer before
,nN 80 to sleep for William Suzer.''
tn. phras. never failed to bring shouts
Of applause. Sulzer has always talked
about the friendship which the East Side
bears for him. He took credit to himself
|, far the resolutions put through the House
\ of Representatives calling ON the Russian
Civcrnmcnt To- amend its treatment OF
mos. who profess the Jewish religion. He
always assumed that the men OF the He
brew race We're his earnest constituents.
III. assumes the same thing now.
In the remarkable demonstrations which
he has called forth in the last week the
bulk " his admirers have been those same
), meg Of the East Side. 1t Is there that
| =. deepest resentment presented itself
when the Assembly brought In the articles
ot impeachment. and II is there that
Sl!lcr is now regarded as a martyr.
How Far: sny the Prophets.
The question that yexes political
prophets Is how far this resentment can
1e capitalized IN votes. 1t Is obvious
.aat there are men in New York other
;han those who live in the East Side who
fe-.rd the Impeachment of the Governor
az the malignant act OF an impcrious boss
The fusiorists are doing their best night
hy p. sht. not only through the speeches of
Their candidates hut through John \. Hen
messy, suffers chief investigator. to stir
| UP this resentment to the highest pitch.
They have succeeded not alone in the
East side bu; in other parts Of New York.
Even In a meeting like that which the
i.s.oaists held ten days ago in Carnegie
.4il the name of Suzer brought out
/ saout after shout of applause And that
~as hcfor. tn. audience knew what was
happening in .Nhany-that the first vote
q the court uf Impeachment had gone
against the Governor.
uu; those VINO have followed the fusion
campagners from place to place in the
'l't 80 weeks know tnat the East Side
the hotbed Of pro-Sulzer sentiment The
East SIDE proper Is the centre. but almost
'1HtlN sympathetic are the districts in
