PROGRESSIVE FOR N. Y. GOVERNOR

STIMSON NAMED TO HEAD TICKET BY NEW YORK REPUBLICANS.

ROOSEVELT IS IN THE SADDLE

Colonel Leads Fight and Completes His Triumph At Saratoga. Announces That He Will Stump State.

Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 29.--The Republican state convention named Henry L. Stimson of New York as its candidate for governor. The nomination of Mr. Stimson was one more victory for Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who personally led the fight for the nomination of his candidate, completing the unbroken series of triumphs from the moment the convention was called to order until its final adjournment. The remainder of the state ticket follows:

At the close of the convention James S. Wadsworth, Jr., speaker of the assembly, announced his withdrawal from the legislature, due to his personal views as to the length of time during which a member of the assembly should be a candidate for speaker. He has been speaker for five years. Mr. Wadsworth would not say that his retirement was due to the victory of the progressives.

Roosevelt Is Master.

The close of the convention found the Roosevelt forces in complete mastery of the situation. It was the election of Colonel Roosevelt as temporary chairman Tuesday over Vice-President Sherman, which decided the issue between the colonel and the organization, but the old guard kept up its fight grimly until the end.

Following the first rout of the organization came Colonel Roosevelt's dramatic and successful battle for the adoption of the platform of the progressives and his final 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 a determined fight, it threw the bulk of its vote to Mr. Bennett. As a rule the voting on the gubernatorial candidates followed the same division between progressives and the old guard as the vote for temporary chairman.

Woodruff Gets Place.

Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff, who failed of re-election in his own district, was elected from the second district. The election of a chairman from the progressives in place of Mr. Woodruff is expected, although no idea could be gained as to who the new chairman will be.

Colonel Roosevelt said that he would take the stump in the campaign. He said that he would try to speak in every county in the state, although he would not cancel his southern trip, which begins on Thursday of next week, or his trip to Iowa early in November.

William Barnes, Jr., of Albany, who led the fight of the old guard against Colonel Roosevelt said:
