Tariff Law.

Saratoga, N. Y.-Colonel Roose-
velt's steam roller crushed out all
opposition at the final sessions of
the Republican state convention. AT
the afternoons session of the conven-
tion when his direct primary plank
seemed in danger of being broken he
jumped upon the platform and by a
sensational speech turned the tide of
defeat into victory greater than his
own as temporary chairman. Roose-

primaries won by COS to 403. The
Roosevelt-selected committee on res

Republican state convention praising

nominated by acclamation. When
