HIGGINS FOR WADSW0RTH
Continued from first page.

they have occupied entitle them 10 special
sideration. But times come in the lives of men
when, regardless of the position they hold they
should lay aside their individual ambition for
the general welfare.
1t has seemed to me that some new candi.
date, who has not been engaged in factional
strife and who is recognized member of
no faction of his party. would be the most salts
factory choice for this position during the very
important session of the legislature about to
convene.
After consulting with many men of all fac
tions of the party 1 thoroughly convinced
that Assembyman James w Wadsworth. jr. of
Livingston, would be ideal candidate for
Speaker, and that If the Assembly in its wisdom
should see fit to choose him as such he would
discharge the duties of the position with impair
TALLY, dignity and ability He is man OF the
a graduate Of Yale; Spanish veteran.
STATEMENT FROM MR.. WADSWORTH
Mr.. Wadsworth, after declaring that the ac-
ton of the Governor came as a complete
prise to him; that he well as the other mem
bers OF the Assembly from the 34th Con-
gTess District, had been pledged to the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Hooker, of Genesee. and that he
consented to the of his name only on Mr..
Hooker's withdrawal. made the following state
ment:
L fully appreciate the position of the older
members of the Assembly who have served far
longer than 1, and who feel entitled, under
ordinary circumstances, to recognition, and,
without going into details, I realize that only
the exigencies of the situation make 1t possible.
or even permissible, for me to announce myself
a candidate.
In general my views as to the situation in
the State to-day the same as those held by
thousands and thousands Of our citizens. The
problems which will confront the coming legis-
lature are Of tremendous importance, and the
people are demanding that these problems be
solved and solved correctly. In other words, that
the legislature shall be efficient and truly rep
resentative agent of the people. 1t is well known
that the Governor is very desirous of having the
coming legislature acquit itself with credit, botn
to the Republican party and to the State at
large l believe that the Republican party as
represented in the legislature is capable of r1s-
ing to the occasion as it has done many times
before in State and nation.
do not regard the suggestion of the Governor
that shall be a candidate conclusive The
matter should and will remain with the members
of the Assembly. If they, after due consldera-
ton see fit to accept that suggestion and there
by elect me to the Speakership, l will say that
my every endeavor will be to discharge the
duties of the Office with absolute impartiality.
William Barnes. jr, chairman of the Executive
Committee of the Republican State COMMITTEE
and member of that committee from this district
this afternoon informed Governor Higgins OF his
approval of the suggestion of Mr.. Wadsworth's
name.
I have with great pleasure" said Mr.. Barnes,
requested the four Republican members or As
sernbly from this county to support Mr.. Wads-
worth and they have assured me that they VIII
do so.
