Bequest and gift; Caroline and Erwin Swann; 1974; (DLC/PP-1974:232.903) New York Governor, William Sulzer was impeached from office in October, 1913, for falsifying hs statement of campaign finances. The attack was vigorously led by fellow Democrat and corrupt Tammany boss, Charles F. Murphy. Murphy, known as a powerful maker of governors and mayors, and firmly in control of the state Assembly, opposed Sulzer and his effort to expose graft and corruption and weed out the system that the Tammany boss so effectively controlled. Following his impeachment and just prior to the November election, Sulzer in retaliation, stumped New York City in opposition to Murphy and the Tammany machine. On November 4, citizens, apparently fed up with the corrupt Tammany machine, largely voted against Tammany supported candidates. In the meantime, Martin H.Glynn, who replaced Sulzer as Governor, promised to reunite the Democratic Party, and to prosecute any substantiated charges of graft and other criminal conduct in the state government.
