ISBN: noisbn

No publisher, place or date. Presumed circa 1913. Pamphlet, perhaps disbound from a larger work. Lacking any wraps or covers that may have been issue. 57 pp. An apparent pro-William Sulzer piece, containing a statement by the Governor, a statement by his counsel, the Governor's last message to the legislature, comment of newspaper correspondents and the Governor's speech at Corning. Sulzer and others address the Frawley committee and its efforts to impeach Sulzer as governor of New York, refuting claims as well as claiming a political conspiracy against him due to powers at Tammany Hall. William Sulzer was the governor of New York, being the only governor to have been impeached (in August of 1913). He was alleged to have misused campaign funds, with other allegations of wrongdoing from prior to his governorship also surfacing. GOOD condition. 2 1/2 inch tear to the title page/front cover, at the upper left corner. Minor soiling and toning, with some roughness along the binding edge. Rear blank page starting to separate from the text block.

Price: $35.00
