Women Say Sweet
Caused the Death
Of Welfare Bills
Speaker Admitted Respousi
hility for Failure to Have
Measures Reported Out of
Committee, They Assert
Failure of the State Logislaturo to
pass tho BO-eallod welfare bills the
minimum wage, the eight-hour day fur |
women and tho honlth insurance is
charged to Speaker Thaddens 0. Sweet.
Tho Women's Joint Legislativo Con?
ference a month ago in Albany cliurged
Speaker Swoot with responsibility for
strangling the bills in committee, and i
he admitted tho charge, they npsert.
"Wo told Speaker Sweet," said Jlias ?'
Mary Dreier, acting as spokesman for j
the conference, "that we knew he was
responsible for the failure to have our
billa reported out of couimitteo. He ',
nt tirst attempted to evade the accusa
tion, but later admitted it."
Since l'JU Thaddeus C. Sweet, of;
Phoenix, Oswego County, lias been :
speaker of the lower house at Albany,
and probably it is not overstating the !
case to say that to-day ho exercises j
more power in tho Legislature, partic?
ularly in tho Assembly, than any other j
man in it.
Mr. Sweet is a candidato for Clover- ;
nor in 1920, and his upstate friends
boast it will require hard work on tho |
part of his rivals to beat him in the '
raco,
Defeated Barnes Candidate
Mr Sweet won tho Spaakership of
tho Assembly In 1014 on the twentieth
ballot In the caucus of Republican Aa
somblymon, dofeatlng Harold J. Hin
man, who had tho bucking of William
Hamos.
"Tail" Sweet, his closo friends call
him, partly because ho "grow up" with
thai nieknamo in Oswego County and
partly because ho physically la not
largo, No e.no becomes over-famtWar
with him, however, for he takes him
self seriously, and does not shrink
from a battle onco he takes a position.
Mr. Sweet waa born in Phoenix forty
seven years ago, and while his hair is
silvery ho is youthful in spirit and
action. Hia first tight for the Assem?
bly in 1909 was a bitter contest with
Frank L. Smith, a townsman, and the
natives still talk about Sweet's vic?
tory. Mr. Sweet took advantage of a
light between the Hughes men and the I
Barnes men in 19X4, and beat llinman j
for Speaker. With each auccessivo !
election as Speaker ho seems to have ;
grown in power in the Assembly, until !
at this timo his word conies pretty near I
being law. I
After finishing tnn course in the j
Phoenix High School, Mr. Sweot went to
work as .\ clork in a clothing store In
his nativo village, Two ov throe years
later he boenmo a travelling salesman,
and :n 1805 ho and his brother started a
paper mill. The venture was sucooss
ful. The Speaker, in addition to hia
paper business, is a director m various
homo corporations and is prominent in
the Masonic fraternity, He is married
and has four children two sons. Rich?
ard and Borton, und his daughters are
Vera and Ruth.
When the pressure for the passapc <
of tbo welfare bills became too strong!
for the Republican Senate leader. J.
Henry Walters, ho called on Speaker
Sweet in the Assembly to stop them ?
there. For a time it looked as if there
would be a revolt against The Speaker,;
but he "kppt the lid on," with the result,
already stated.
