Excerpt from Life and Speeches of William Sulzer
A man who does things, and who has distinguished himself in straight law, and clean politics, is former Governor Wm. Sulzer - lawyer, lecturer, legislator, and liberal-minded statesman.
Mr. Sulzer was born in Elizabeth, N. J., on March 18, 1863, of German and Scotch-Irish parentage. His father was a farmer near Elizabeth, and William was educated in the country school, and later for the law at Columbia College.
His parents were strict Presbyterians, and intended their son for the ministry; but he preferred the law, and was duly admitted to the bar on attaining his majority in 1884. He soon became recognized as a sound lawyer, and an eloquent public speaker. He has taken an active part in every political campaign, and has been prominent in public life, since 1884. His success in law has only been equalled by his prominence in" politics. He was elected to the New York Assembly in 1889, and re-elected for five years. He made a splendid record for usefulness to the State at Albany. No one ever questioned his honesty, his sincerity, or his capability. He served with distinction in the sessions of 1890, 1891, 1892, 1893, and 1894.
