SULZER EXPLAINS THE |
Albany, N. Y, Oct. 4, 1913.
Mr. George Phelps, Secy.,
Seward Democratic Club,
Seward, Alaska.
My dear Mr. Phelps:
Many thanks for your very kind
letter. Your words of encouragement
give me heart to go on with the 9trug
gle I am making to resist the seizure
of the Slate of New York by those
who have looted, and would prostitute,
its government for private gain.
When Mr. Murphy aud his allies
found out they could not make a tool
of me, they blocked my every step
toward good government.
Of course these men could defeat ray
appointments to this end; they could
strangle my recommendations for legis
lation like direct nominations; they
could shut off my funds for graft inves-1
tigations; and they could obstruct in
many w’ays my efforts for honest gov
ernment. But one tiling they could
not stop -and that is the machinery of
justice which l had set in motion
against the criminals throughout the
state who have robbed the taxpayers
of millions and millions of dollars.
There was one way to prevent me
from sending these thieves to the pen
intentiary.and than way was to impeach
me and get me out of my office. So
the boss in desperation employed a
baud of adventurers and criminals to
bring baseless charges against me
upon which it was thought I could be
railroaded out of office with the con
sent of the recreant legislators owned
and controlled by Mr. Murphy and the
powerful interests behind him.
Much of the plot has been revealed.
The rest of it will be laid bare before
grand juries. The political conspiracy
to destroy me will fail, and the conspi
rators will be punished if the taxpay- j
ers will stand by me in my efforts to ;
serve them.
I have been flooded with letters and \
telegrams of assurance, and I feel con-1
tident that the eyes of the people are
open in spite of certain newspapers
which are misrepresenting me in order j
to befog the real issue, which is: “shall
the State of New York be honestly
governed; or shall it he governed by
Mr. Murphy for the grafters and spec
ial interests?'’
If I had obeyed “orders,” and called
off the prosecutions of Mr. Murphy’s
grafting friends, I could have anything
I wanted.
I was impeached by the use of pro
mises and intimidation because l would
not stop the machinery of justice.
1 was impeached because I would not
violate my oath of office to the people
of the State of New York.
The facts will all come out in the
end. When the people fully under
stand the truth. I have no fear of the
outcome so far as L am concerned.
With best wishes believe me,
Very sincerely your friend,
Wm Snlzer.
