Governor Frank w. Higgins for the
governorship was made possible by
the withdrawal of former Lieutenant
Governor Timothy L. Woodruff from
the race at the very last moment, as
the convention was preparing for the
roll call by the individual delegates as
called for in the resolution introduced
in the interest of Mr.. Woodruif's can
didacy and at the demand of the Kings
county delegation.
1t was only when, as he himself said,
it became obvious to his practiced
solidly against him, after his name had
been placed in nomination In a speech
by William A. Prendergast of Brooklyn
in which the management of the I1ig
gins campaign was bitterly attacked,
that Mr.. Woodruff took the platform,
withdrew his name from further con
sideration, moved that the nomination
of Lieutenant Governor Higgins be
made unanimous and pledged the full
est effort of himself and his Kings
county forces in aid Of the ticket about
to be nominated. There was no con-
test whatever over any other place
upon the ticket.
Up to the very moment when the
chairman of the convention, State Sen
ator George r. Malby of st. Lawrence
county, announced the call of the roll
of individual delegates it was expected
by the vast majority Of the convention
that there would be a definite align
es behind Higgins and Woodruff, and
the recognized Importance of the bear
ing of the result upon the entire state
organization produced a feeling Of in
tense interest on the part of every n
present In the hall. If any one outside
Of Mr.. Woodruff's immediate circle of
personal %confldants knew what he was
about TO do they kept the secret well,
and to nearly every person in the con-
vention 1t was q complete and dramat-
ic surprise.
The second day of the convention
opened with every evidence that the
contest would be carried to the finish.
although nc one pretended to have any
doubt what the outcome would be. In
deed, ever since the name of Insurance
| Superintendent Hendricks was posi-
lively withdrawn from consideration
as a third or compromise candidate
there had been no doubt of the nomina-
ton Of Higgins. The Woodruff advo-
Gates, however, insisted to the last,
even while they admitted the futility
of their struggle, that there should be
a showdown They declared that
the real sentiment of the convention
was in favor of Woodruff's nominal
ton, that the will of the Individual del
egates was being coerced by the Hig-
gins leaders and that the detailed roll
call which they demanded would show
the individual feeling in the matter.
A protracted conference was held
early in the day between Senator Plat
and Mr.. woodruff and his immediate
counselors.
' In the convention the Woodruff fac
ton was exceedingly enthusiastic and
insistent. But the only thing approach
ing a showing Of strength was when
his nam was first placed in nominal
ton by William A. Prendergast oil
Brooklyn. Then one might have made
an approximate estimate of the
b, strength Of the Woodruff movement
from those who rose to cheer his name

eleven hundredth time. This fact was
heralded throughout the land. Three
days later the Rev. MI. Savidge re.
ceived a call from a stranger.
The stranger introduced himself as
James Smell, a Nebraska ranch owner
and cattle raiser. Without mincing
words, after being seated in Mr.
Savidge's study, the visitor began:
Il see that you have married LOO
couples. With all that experience
you will certainly be able to help a
man like me out of a bad fix. Here ]

the way of a home, as we'll as the
love and respect due from a husband
to a good Christian wife. Can you
help me out?"
The preacher was taken a little
aback. But he also was pleased by
the mans straightforward honesty
and directness. He promised to dc
what he could to help Smell in his
search. Incidentally, he mentioned the
matter in his sermon the following

James Smell, a rich Nebraska ranch
man, upright, moral, wants a wife,
and doesn't know where to find her.
At least, he didn't know where to
begin his search until last week, but
now he can take his pick and choice
of any one of more than a thousand
who have heard of Mr.. SHELLS perdica-
ment and have volunteered to share
his home and his ranch, his big bank
account and his large herds Of cattle.
And this number is increasing hourly.
Great stacks of letters are pouring
in upon Mr.. Smell, through the Rev.
Charles w. Savldge, of this city, who
is assisting the disconsolate wooer.
1t was through Mr.. Savidge that
Mr.. Smell let his wants be known to
the world, and, although the desire
was made public only ten days ago,
the news has spread from California
to Maine, from the Rio Grande to
Lake Superior, and an army of spin

the story.
Knows Few Women.
The case was a unique one Here
was a wealthy, honest, educated gen.
tleman searching for a wife. Having
lived on the great plains for years
he had forgotten the ways of society
and was actually acquainted with less
han half a dozen women. In his per-
dicament he had journeyed to Omaha
and had applied to a popular minister
to help him C a lify partner.
Twenty-four hours after that SER
mon was preached every large news
paper in the country had printed the
fact that James Smell, of Nebraska,
wants a wife and that he is wealthy.
Another twenty-four hours and the
Rev. Mr.. Savidge's mail increased 100
per cent. The nearby cities and
towns were being heard from.
Forty-eight hours passed and an
other 100 per cent increase was
shown. In another adv 1t became
necessary for Mr.. Savidge to secure
an assistant to answer letters. And
shortly the Job" became so great
that it was found impossible to ans
wer the letters of application for the
position of Mrs. James SMELL" At
the end of n week nearly 1000 let.

arriving at the rate of about 100 per
