At the 1914 New York state election, the party ran only Sulzer as candidate for Governor, and adopted the Liberty Bell as symbol on the ballot.
Sulzer received 70,655 votes for Governor on the American ticket which gave the party automatic ballot access for the next election.
Senator from New York, won the American nomination defeating the Democratic candidate William F. McCombs, also by a single vote: 23 to 22.
Also nominated were Democrats Thomas J. Kreuzer for Lieutenant Governor, and William W. Farley for Attorney General; and Eugene M. Lane for Treasurer and Ephraim H. Keyes for State Engineer.
In the election, Whitman received only 2,265 votes on the American ticket, which made the party lose the automatic ballot access.
