The wreck was due, it is reported,
to the failure of an engineer to read

SULzER DENOuNCES
TAMMANY LEADER
Little Sympathy for Governor In
Press Comment.

Albany, n. Y, Oct. 20.-William
Sulzer, deposed governor of New York.
issued statement in which he declar.
ed he had been removed by "Murphy's
high court of infamy."
Murphy controlled the assembly
and ordered the impeachment" he
said. He controlled most of the men,
bers OF the court and dictated pro-
cedure and wrote the judgment. He
was the Judge and jury; the prosecu-
tor and the bailiff."
Sulzer declared that his trial was
a political lynching as far as the
Tammanyized part OF the court was
commemorative confirmation of a
deep laid political conspiracy to oust
me from office"
He asserted he had not taken the
stand In his own defense because he
realized that his story attacking the
Tammany leader would be ruled out.
Had | but served the boss with
half the zeal did the state, William
Sulzer would never have been i'm
peached," he said.
Following are newspaper comments
on the Sulzer case:
Little Sympathy for Sulzer.
New York Sun-It may teach the
necessity for closer scrutiny of pre-
lenses and professions of candidates.
New York World-William SulZer Is
gone, but Charles +. Murphy remains,
and while he and Tammany remain
the shame of New York will continue.
New York Press-SulZer has fallen
because he did not play a crooked
game straight. To Tammany the i'm.
peachment is a political blunder OF
incalculable measure.
New York Tribune-There is little
| ground for sympathy with Sulzer, the
pillored panhandler. The angry I'll
| ger has eaten the disobedient cub.
| New York Times-The impeach
ment and removal of Sulzer ought to
| be fatal to Tammany. 1t was his am
| bition to be state leader not zeal for
| the people, that brought the quarrel
Chicago Tribune-All that Ii Will pay

Sulzer is the manner in which Tam
many paid him off-without dropping
any tears for the victor or losing sigh
