Without "a Hitch.
The slate, as made up this morning
by Colonel Roosevelt, Senator Root
and their advisers. went through with
out hitch. With the exception OF
the nominations for governor and
comptroller there were no contentasts.
Representative Bennett, who had been
conducting the only open campaign for
the nomination for governor, kept up
the light to the end, and his per-
sistency and his strength with the New
York delegation threatened this after
noon to break the slate.
Colonel Roosevelt said Tonight that
he would take the stump in the cam
paign and he said he would try to
speak In every county in the State,
although he would not cancel his
Southern trip, which begins on Thurs
DAY of next week. or his trip to Iowa
early in November.
AT the close OF the convention James
S. wadsworth, Jr., Speaker OF the AS
sembly for FIVE years. announced MS
withdrawal from the Legislature He
said this determination was reached
some time ago, and was due entirely to
his personal views as to the length
OF time a member of the assembly
should hold that important and olHl
cult Office. Mr.. Wadsworth would not
say that his retirement was due to the
victory of the ProgresSives In the con-
yention.
Mastery Is Complete.
The close OF the convention found
the Roosevelt forces in complete mas
terry of the situation. Following the
first rout of the organization came
Colonel Roosevelt's dramatic and sue
cessful battle for the adoption of the
platform of the Progressives and his
final victory in the 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 deter
mined fight. the organization threw
the bulk Of Its vote to Mr.. Bennett.
Just before the convention adjourned
the new State committee was an-
nounced. The list contained several
new names, and 1t was assumed that
the Progressives would have control,
turning over to the Roosevelt forces
the party machinery OF the State.
Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff, who
failed of reelection In his own dis
5trlct, was elected from the Second Dis
trict. The election OF candidate
from the Progresslves in place OF Mr..
Woodruff is expected.
for the nomination of Governor led to
second conference after the slate had
been agreed upon this morning. The
convention was adjourned In the mid
die of the afternoon. and the leaders
canvassed the field once more in the
Idea that they might deside upon an
upstate man who would receive the
united vote OF the New York delega-
tion Colonel Roosevelt asked Mr..
Bennett to withdraw. but the con-
gresham refused to do So
Colonel Roosevelt and Senator Root,
the main figures in the conference,
decided to stand by their slate, and |
the colonel agreed to make the n nomi-
nation speech, in place of otto.T. Ban
nard, Of New York. who had been
selected originally.
Delegates Cheer.
Klngsbury Foster nominated Mr.. |
Bennet, and after the nomination had
been sec onded, Roosevelt went to the
platform to make his last speech Of |
the convention. He began by saying
that he had held Mr.. Bennett In high |
regard, but that he believed Mr., Stim-
son to be- the proper nominee He
told OF what Mr.. Stimso nhad done
