US Democrat representative and governor. He served in the US House of Representatives for New York 1895-1913, supporting such progressive policies as the graduated income tax and direct election of senators, while opposing American intervention in Mexico. Governor of New York in 1913, he began investigating corruption in state politics only to be impeached himself for investing campaign contributions in the stock market.
