20 have both the candidate for Governor and the
candidate for Lieutenant Governor from New

nominate Seth Low for Governor would create
fresh dlssensions In the Republican party. while
one OF the strongest reasons for nominating Colonel
Roosevelt was that his candidacy would unite the
party In the campaign.
