Roosevelt and I were both dele
gates at large. and that position
gave him greater opportunity to
emphasize his disinclination. A
very intimate friend Of his called
upon me and begged that woui1

the colonel's nomination.
A HASTY ADJOURNMENT.
This friend said to me: The
governors situation. officially and
personally, makes Il impossible for
him to 90 to Washington. On
the official side are his unfinished
legislation and the new legislation
greatly needed by the State. which
will add enormously to his reputa-
ton and pave the way for his fu-
ture. He has. very little means.

ROOSEVELT AS PRESIDENT.
Governor Odell was chairman OF
the delegation for all convention
purposes, but in the distribution OF
honors, was made the presiding
officer at its meetings. The dele

Presidency. Several very eloquent
speeches were made In favor OF
Mr.. Roosevelt. but In an emphatic
address he declined the nomination.
He then received a unanimous vote.

then arose and suggested that he
reconsider his determination. ana
several others Joined most earnest

deeply affected, but, nevertheless.
firmly declined.

the next motion would be the nonni-

ruptly declared the meeting ad-

during the night, with the pressure
brought to bear upon him. the
colonel would change his mind. In
the morning Mr.. Roosevelt surren-
dered his convictions and agreed to
accept the nomination.
