New York governor race eyed as Roosevelt faces field
New York elects a governor this year and Roosevelt is expected to run again as the Republican candidate. Six Democrats pose a strong challenge including ex Judge Van Wyck who opposed Roosevelt in 1892, Edward M Shepard, ex Controller Campbell, Mayor McGuire of Syracuse, Mayor De Witt of Binghamton, and John B Stranchfield of Elmira. In 1896 Van Wyck lost by 18 000. New York state results are famously unpredictable on state issues.
