"THINGS ■- ON THE GOVERNOR." : There are four "big things on the. Governor," to quote an American journal. These aia:— (1) The charge that William R. Hearst surreptitiously helped to finance the campaign of the I Governor in return for certain favours which Mr. Sulzer is alleged to have promised the editor-politician hi the event of his election; (2) the charge that Samuel Beardsley, Democratic boss of Oneida, acting as attorney for Anthony N. Brady, induced Mr. Sulzer to veto the Capital District Hydro-electric Power Bill in return for financial support the Governor is alleged to have received from Brady during the last election; (3) the charge that Mr. Sulzer' made an ante-election promise to approve the so-called Full Crew Bill if the railroad men throughout the , State ■would pledge their support to him on election day; (4) the charge that the Governor tried to force legislators into line for his Primary Bill under threats that he would veto Bills in which the recalcitrant senators and assemblymen were interested, that he threatened to throw out of office the friends of men in the Legislature who opposed his reform measures, that :he recruited several votes for his Bill at the extra session by approving Bills in which the men who " flopped " were interested. His friends say that Governor Sulzer, who is a Democrat, is being pursued by Tam- j many senators, aided by machine Republi-1 cans, because he vetoed a Bill which was i in their interests. '
