Former New York Governor Benjamin Odell dies at his Newburgh home. A key Republican boss, Odell mentored Theodore Roosevelt and helped shape the party's rise, guiding Roosevelt toward the White House and backing his 1900 vice presidential nomination before Roosevelt became president.
Odell acted as a pivotal yet elusive Republican power in New York, serving as governor nominee in 1902 with opponent Bird S. Coler. He led the party from Newark headquarters, surged late on election night, and after a series of clashes with Platt and Hughes, helped Hughes win, then faded after the 1912 Democratic landslide and the Wilson years, ending with Al Smith’s rise.
The text notes a fighter against Theodore Roosevelt's 1924 governor nomination and reflects on a man who could have been president but declined. It mentions Frostproof and Miami, including a projected gateway and a University of Miami project with a $10,000,000 budget.
