Scrapbooks, [ca. 1875-1941].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/33205015

Two scrapbooks containing letters, printed memorabilia, clippings, and other items relating to Sulzer's investments in Alaskan gold mines and his political career as a Democrat, and, later, as a member of the American party. Included are articles attacking Al Smith's leadership of Sulzer's impeachment as governor of N.Y. State in 1914, apparently intended to discredit Smith's 1928 bid for the White House. Also includes brochures relating to Sulzer's 1916 presidential campaign as the nomineee of the American party. The scrapbooks may have been assembled by Nathan Reich, an associate of Sulzer's in his N.Y. City law office.
