William Sulzer until recently a
Tammany Hall Democrat and as
corrupt as any of its members, is run
ming now on the Progressive ticket
for New YorR assemblyman. Sulzer
has had no. change Of heart as to his
politics. He is still Democrat, but
+discredited in his own party to the
extent that it removed him from the
governorship on account of his
proved crookedness. The surprise
Is that a party OF such high preten-
sions as the third papss would take
him up. SO far as Sulzer himself is
concerned, his act in accepting the
nomination Is purely selfish. He be-
lieves, II he is elected, he will be vim
Dictated. Such vindicaton would be
quite questionable. Concerning this
the Wheeling Telegraph comments
sensibly as follows:
When man jumps into a political
bed he never knowsswhom ihesis going
to find lying alongside Of him. in the
morning. Which is a new version
of the proverb that politics makes
strange bedfellows,' and is prompted
by former Governor Suffers accept
ance of the Bun Moose candidacy for
the, assembly in the Sixth New York
district. b
Mr.. Suffers purpose in accepting
as a Democrat nomination from the
Progressive party for the legislature
can hardly be traced to. patriotic
motive. His intention will be rather
construed as an attempt to get even
with the leaders of the Democratic
party in New York who caused him ID
be removed from the governorship
on charges which reflected severely
on his integrity as a man and his
character as politician.
The one time governor frankly
says so. He promises to make il
warm for his enemies, not only those
in the assembly but those outside OF
1T and Incidentally to regain the exec
utive chair. The purpose of the
Progressives of the Sixth district in
rendering him the nomination was
to take advantage of circumstances
which might give them the support
OF the anti-Tammany Democrats and
to those who sympathize with the
fallen statesman.
In the more or less chaotic state of
New York politics in New York the
anomaly Of a Democrat, recently a
successful candidate for governor on
the Tammany ticket, being the nomi-
nee of the Progressives of his dis
trict for{the assembly may not seem
seriously incongruousu, but the pros.
pect OF success by this means of Sc

as doubtful.
