THE FIGHT BETWEEN
SULZEK AND TAMMANY
There ouce wore two cats of Kil
kenny
Each thought there was oue cat too
many, I
So they quarreled and they fit—
They scratched and they bit,
'Till except 'or their nails and the
tips of their tails
Instead of two cats there weren't
any.—Old Verse.
After one ol the most iensatiou
al campaigns iu the history of the
city tho voters of New York have
had their say iu an election in
which party lines have been entire
ly wiped away. The choice was for
or against the domination of the
city by Tammauy Hall.
When the Tammany Tiger slipped
from his lair yesterday and sniffed
the air, he could smell fight ev
erywhere. It has been an out and
ou' fight against Tammany. Head
ed by John Purroy Mitchell, the In
dependent Democrats, Republican
and Progressives have carried
the campaign through with unre
lenting vigor. Edward E. McCall,
the regular Democratic nominee
chosen by Eoss Murphy of Tammany
has fought back with an economy
plea.
The chances appeared even until
a little over two weeks ago. Then
came the removal of William Sulzer
as Governor by the High Court of
Impeachment; the thrilling story by
the deposed Governor of Charles F.
Murphy's attempt to dominate the
State Government—and then chaos.
Probably never before was such feel
ing worked up against Chief Mur
phy and Tammany Hall as was dis
played immediately after Sulz^-'s
story was made public. The Pro
gressives of the Sixth Assembly
district unanimously nominated Sul
zer for the Assembly and with John
A. Hennerry, state investigator un
der .Gov. Sulzer, the deposed gov
ernor has fired charge after charge
at Tammany Hall and Charles Fran
ces Murphy.
' Tammany never met with a great
er surprise in its existence than the
sight of Sulzer, an impeached, sup
posedly discredited, and deposed
governor, suddenly rising as the big
factor In the local campaign. Many
Tammany leaders complained that t
"Chief" was too easy" when the
way was left open for Sulzer to
again hold office. The court did
not disqualify him. He immediately
told the story of how Murphy had
made demands for certain appoint
ments on him; how he pressed him
to the. limit on all questions which
Murphy desired settled in his own
way; how McCall acted as the go-be
tween in the dealings, and how the
ultimatum was finally delivered that
James E. Gaffney, a Murphy hench
man, must be appointed highway coi:
missioner or there would be "war".
The -"Gaffney or War" message was
followed by other demands, accord
ing to Sulzer, and he was told he
must accede to these demands or
face ruin. Mrs. Sulzer added to the
story with statements that she had
received scores of letters threaten
ing her husband's life and'told how
McCall said to her that Sulzer must
do as Murphy ordered.
The wiping out of party lines for
the fight yesterday, however, dates
back long beiore Sulzer figured in
the situation. When Chief Murphy
nominated McCall as the Tammany
candidate the Progressive wing of
the democratic party, the republi
cans and progressives united on
Mitchell as the Fusion nominee.
Mitchell is a Wilson democrat. He
was president o' the board of alder
men when President Wilson appoint
ed him collector of the port. He
will be one of the youngest men
who ever held office of mayor of
New York. He is but 34 years old.
Charles S. Whitman, district attor
ney, was the leading candidate for
the nomination on the Fusion tick
et against Mitchell, but when defeat
ed Whitman accepted the nominatio
for re-election to his own office,
rammany then endorsed Whiteman
to check any attempt to make the
police situation an issue. Whitman
icceptei this nomination and was al
so named by Hearst's Independent
league. !
It was a movement from this or
I ganlzation which, it seemed, might
wreck the chances of a successful
fight "by the Fualonists in the early
'days of.the campaign. William A.
1 Predergast was named for comptrol
ler and George McAneny for Presi
' dent of the board of aldermcai on
the Fusion ticket with Mitchell.
Hearst was willing to endorse Mitch
ell, but came out strong against
Predergast and McAneny, demand
ing that they withdraw if the Fu
sion ticket expected to carry the en
dorsement of the . League Mitchell
stood pat and the League finally
put a ticket In the field with Mitch
ell at the head. The league put up
its own .'candidates, however, in
place of Predergast and McAneny.
One incident after another has
followed in rapid succession during
the campaign which changed the en
tire political outlook. After Tam
many named McCall the late Wm. J.
Gaynor was nominated on an inde
pendent ticket. He was notified of
his nomination with a remarkable
demonstration in City Hall park. Th
mayor was then too ill to speak,
but bravely appeared and stood by
while his speech of acceptance was
read. I
Then Gaynor died at sea. There
was talk of naming an independent
candidate in his place, but the Gay
nor leaders finally declared for
Mitchell. This left the field to
Mitchell and -McCall.
The sudden throwing of Sulzer Into
tho campaign emphasized the issue
its between Tammany and the anti
Tammanv force3. "Liar", "grafter"
and similar terms hurled from the
rival camps punctuated the cam
paign in the closing weeks. "Where
did you get it"? was the demand
of Sulzer on Murphy in alleging that
the chief had built up a fortune of
$15,000,000.
