Completing his unbroken series of
victories as ruler of the New York Re-
publican state convention, Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt won his final triumph
when Henry L. Stimson of New York
was nominated for governor on the
first ballot. From the time the con-
yention opened until it adjourned sine
die the ex-president won every point
In dispute between his forces and the
old guard, including the direct pri-
mary plank in the state platform. His
entire slate for state officers went
through, as well as Mr. Stimson.
1t Is understood that Colonel Roose-
welt will stump the state Tor the tick
ct At the close of the convention,
James S. Wadsworth, Jr., speaker of
the assembly, announced his with
drawal from the legislature. He said
this determination was due entirely to
bis personal views as to the length OF
time dufing which a member of the
assembly should be candidate for
speaker, and If successful hold that
important and difficult Office. He has
been speaker five years.
The chief planks in the platform as
adopted are as follows:
I'VE declare relentless warfare
against official and legislative wrong
doing in this state. A Republican
legislature ordered an immediate and
searching inquiry into all corrupt
practises and this inquiry is going for
ward vigorously. We pledge its con-
tinuance, with additional authority if
required, and that all such wrong
doing capable of exposure shall be
brought to light, to the end that the
guilty shall be punished and the limo
cent relieved of unjust Suspicion.
Dishonesty in public service is,
next to treason, the most fragrant of
crimes. In Kidding our institutions of
this cancer growth we know no party
distinction. The crimes which have
been committed have involved mem
bers of both parties, and the fact that
some Of the wrongdoers have masquer-
AIDED under the name of Republicans
neither has gained nor shall gain
them immunity from punishment by
Republicans.
I'VE enthusiastically indorse the
patriotic and statesmanlike leadership
of William Howard Taft and declare
our pride In the achievements of his
first eighteen months as president of
the United States. Each succeediIg
month since his Inauguration has con-
firmed the nation in its high estimate
of his greatness of character, intellec-
tual ability, sturdy common sense, ex-
traordinary patience and perseverance,
broad and statesmanlike comprehen-
sion of public questions and unfalter-
ing and answering adherence to
duty. He has strengthened our pres
tige with foreign nations and treated
with vigor and wisdom important in
ternational problems, notably our
tariff relations with Germany, France
end Canada.
"On his recommendation congress
has provided for commission to in
vestigate and report on the regulation
Of the issuance of stocks and bonds
by public service corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce. He has
advocated new system of appropria-
lions for river and harbor improve
ments, under which each item, after
Investigation by experts, shall be ap-
proved and carried to completion as
separate measure. This recommends
ton we heartily indorse.
ITO Governor Hughes is due the
credit of arousing the interest of the
people and convincing them of the
need of directly electing their party
officers and directly nominating their
| party candidates. We promise legis-
lation which will enact these princi-
pies into law"
