At the close of the convention
James S. WadsWorth, Jr, speaker Of
the assembly, announced his with
drawal from the legislature, due to his
personal views as to the length Of
time during which member of the
assembly should be a candidate for
speaker. He has been speaker for five
years. Mr.. Wadsworth would not say
that his retirement was due to the
victory of the progressives.
Roosevelt Is Master.
The close of the convention found
the Roosevelt forces in complete mas
terry of the situation. 1t was the cleo
ton of Colonel Roosevelt as tempo
rary chairman Tuesday over Vice
President Sherman, which decided the
issue between the colonel and the
organization but the old guard kept
up it's fight grimly until the end.
Following the first rout of the or
ganization came Colonel ROOSEVELT
mi hot 10 hn
adoption of the platform of the pro,
gressives and his final nomination Of
Mr. Stimson.
BY the time the vote was taken the
strength of the organization had been
dissipated badly. Having no candidate
for whom to make determined fight,
it threw the bulk of it's vote to Mr..
Bennett. AS a rule the voting on the
gubernatorial candidates followed the
same division between progressives
and the old guard as the vote for tenn
porary chairman.
Woodruff Gets Place.
Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff, who
failed of reelection in his own district
was elected from the second district.
The election of a chairman from the
progressives in place of Mr.. Woodruff
is expected, although no idea could be
gained as to who the new chairman
will be.
Colonel Roosevelt said that he would
take the stump in the campaign. He
said that he would try to speak in
every county in the state, although
he would not cancel his southern trip,
which begins on Thursday of next
week, or his trip to Iowa early in
November.
William Barnes, Jr., of Albany who
led the fight of the old guard against
Colonel Roosevelt said:
