Governor SuIzer

The vast majority of living Amer
leans probably never had heard OF
william Sulzer until the notice of his
death yesterday was released to
careless world. The erstWhile Gov
ernor of New York impeached and
removed from office twenty-eight
years ago. might almost as we'll have
perished with his reputation. He
survived 70 his own discomfort.
Strangers to Manhattan found him
in the Hobbies of obscure hotels, re-
peating his version of his troubles+a
ghost which symbolized an era in
American politics.
The time to which Mr.. Sulzer be-
longed was that of the split in the
Republican party and the rise of
Tammany Hall to the ultimate
heights of power in the Empire State
His career began on a farm in New
Jersey, where he was born the second
OF the seven children of a German
immigrant and his Irish wife. The
family removing to New York, he
grew up, as Al Smith later did, in
the streets of the East Side A voyage
on a brig around Cape Horn con-
vinced him that he did not wish to be
a sailor. He became, instead clerk
IN wholesale grocery house and at
tended night classes at Cooper Union
for a while. BY 1889 he was a men,
ber of the Assembly, in 1893 he was
chosen Speaker, in 1894 he was elect
ed to Congress. Exactly when the
inner circle of Tammany bosses de-
cided to halt his further advance
ment is not a matter of record.
Neither has it ever been made clear
why they determined to eliminate
him. The fact is that he was "out of
sSep7 as early as 1898
Mr.. Sulzer's strength in his own
district was a tribute to his personal
qualities. He was popular with his
constituents because he deserved to
be. Upstate, however, his hold upon
the voters was that of a profeSsed
reformer. He won support in nor
mally Republican territory by prom
ssing correction of prevailing abuses
His nomination in 1912 was gained
ut the expense of Charles F. Murphy
Tammany dictator, who preferred
that John Alden Dix should be
named again. The gang did not
forget it's grievance when the candi-
date It hated was victorious. From
the moment of his success, the win
ner was doomed Only defeat coulc
have saved him.
It cannot be denied that Mr.. Sulzel
was technically guilty of the misde-
meanors with which he was charged

Demands Permanent Peace"
As Price Of War.

To the Editor Of The Star:
There never will be world peace until
Hitler is subdued and independence re-
turned to the enslaved nations, but I
never again want to see our Nation
spend billions of dollars. sacrifice the
lives of many of its soldiers and then
walk away from the peace table when
the great opportunity arrives for the
establishment OF an agency capable OF
maintaining permanent peace.
We do not want to go to war now
unless we have a well-thought-out plan
all ready for the enforcement of the
freedom Of the seas and permanent
peace. W. F. FARRELL
