Saratoga, N. ", Sept. 2S.-Colonel
Roosevelt was chosen temporary
chairman of the state Republican con-
vention over Vice President Sherman,
the choice of the state committee,
more than an hour being consumed in
polling the LOIS delegates. From the
outset Of the tedious vote it was ap.

had no chance to win and his defeat
was conceded by William Barnes be-
fore half the delegates had been
polled. The vote was Roosevelt. 567,
Sherman 445. < ~. .- ,
s. A most remarkable scene preceded
the balloting. For hours bitter de
nunciation was heard from the plat
form and for the first time in his life
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, was de
,nounced to his face by the men who
successfully elected him member OF
assembly, governor, vice president
and president '--
Timothy L. Woodruff, J. the man
Roosevelt made chairman of the state
committee by the sheer weight Of fed
eral patronage, read a letter from
Roosevelt, which he claimed showed
that Roosevelt had tacitly endorsed
the selection of Vice President Sher:
man as temporary: chairman.
Abe Gruber, facing Roosevelt
poured forth a stream of denuncia
ton, the like of which has seldom
been heard before even in a ward
convention, and Roosevelt himself
had personally to appeal to the con.
vention to let the New York attorney
be heard and give him square deal.'
Roosevelt was warmly defended by

Chairman Woodruff called the con

mend to this convention a temporary
chairman.
The election of temporary chair
man of this convention is crucial
act and calls for the most careful con.
sideration by every man who is about
to vote on It.
Reason for Naming Sherman.
President Taft deeply desired that,
his party here in convention assem-
bled, representing the largest and
most potential Republican constitu.
ency in the United States, should un.
eQuivocally endorse his administra-
ton. This know from personal
knowledge as result of visit made
two weeks ago, before the meeting Of
the state committee, to the summer
capital at Beverly. There he made
known not only his desires but also
his apprehensions.
To allay these apprehensions what
more natural than the selection to
make the keynote speech as tenn.
pOrary chairman of him who has been
sent to speak for the administration
to all parts of the country, even into
the presidents own state of Ohio, the
vice president of the United States,
James S. Sherman? Who else, indeed,

some Interior motive, have even
