Albany. y. Y. August 23.-The issue
OF religion was brought into the Sui
zer-Glynn conflict over the governor
ship to-day, causing one OF the
greatest sensations that has developed
since William Sulzer was impeached
and Martin H. Glynn claimed the title
OF Acting Governor.
There is wrath in the Glynn camp
as result The issue was raised by
Rev. o. Z. Miller. president OF the state
Civic League, who is supporting Sui
zer, and charging all sort of crimes
against Charles F. Murphy and tho
Tammany legislators.
Denounced by GIynn.
The injection Of religion into the
battle was denounced tonight by the
followers of Mr. Glynn as the most
dastardly outrage that the supporters
or SulZer have vet perpetrated"
The issue was raised through the
medium of 4 pamphlet. bundles Of
which were laid upon the press table
at the executive chamber to-day One
extract follows:
Many people think that the real
cause Of the present Sulzer Murphy
religious; that it is not political graft
but religious bEotry that is at the
bottom of this whole trouble Gov
ernor Sulzer is a Presbyterian. Lieu
tenant Governor Glynn is a Roman
Catholic. Whether Justly or not. yet
the people OF this state in the past
have said by their votes that they
did not want a Roman Catholic for
Governor
Many people think that in the pres
ent s.tuatior IN this state, they see
'he fnc hand of Jesuits determined
co NAL Ike one Roman Catholic Governor
OF this state. even if they must i'm
peach Illegally, and brutally throw
out of office 8: Protestant Governor. In
order TO put in Catholic The Jesuits
have made trouble In the politics or
every country in the world where they
! have gene. They have been expelled
IT different times from almost every
country in Europe because OF their
reasonable interference with politics
and with their attempts TO overthrow
the government they are beginning
here.
We do not identify the Jcsuits with
the Roman Catholics any more than
wc identify tho Democratic party with
Tammany. But all Tammany men
are Democrats, and all Jesults are
Roman Catholics. But thousands of
Democrats denOunce the base methods
of Tammany, and Roman Catholics de-
nounce the reasonable methods of
the Jcsuits
1T is an interesting fact. however,
that about hree-fourths of those AS
semblymen who voted TO impeach Gov
ernor Sdl1er are Catholics and about
three fourths OF those who voted
against impea chment are Protcstants"
Acting Governor Angry.
When a copy OF the pamphlet was
SHOWN to SulZer he said that he had
never seen il before and had no knowl-
edge OF it. Glynm was angry when it
was shown to him. and was about to
issue a reply. but rccomsidered. One
OF the acting Governors friends, how
ever said
This is the most dastardly thing
that mas happened since the impeach-
ment controversy began Ii Governor
Sulzer does not repudiate it. well. ne
is not ut to hold the place he claims
TO occupy.
"Su!zer's hackers, not Glynn's. have
been the first to inject religion into
this war. Glynn's supporters would
never dream OF doing such a thing,
Religion has nothing to do with the
quarrel The question is whether Sui
zer has or has not committed crimes
and misdemeanors which render him
unfit to be Governor
"Giynn is Catholic. but a Protes-
tant might have been elected Lieu
tenant-Governor and have become
Governor in a case like this. You may
say Glynn rcsents this rel: Sious injec-
tion into the situation with heart and
soul, and he will refuse to participate
in any controversy OF this character
He would never dream OF attacking
SulZer a Presbyterian He cannot
believe that Sulzer would deliberately
assail him because he happened to be
Catholic"
