Taft Boom Emerges in New York Governor Race
In New York on September 8 reports say Governor Odell and Republican leaders seriously consider Henry W. Taft of New York City for the governor nomination. Taft, Roosevelt ally and brother of the Secretary of War, is touted as the most available candidate with Roosevelt’s potential blessing. Odell aides and others at the Fifth Avenue Hotel back the Taft push, while Senator Platt’s friends are cooler. Odell claims no agreement and says Taft’s name was among many. Timothy L. Woodruff and others threaten a battle at Saratoga over slate choices. George R. Sheldon may be elected a delegate to back Woodruff if conflict arises.
