The outcome of the New York Republican state convention, committing the state’s delegates to support Theodore Roosevelt as the party’s nominee for the presidency at the upcoming national convention, is not surprising. It confirms the party’s stated intention of two years ago. In conjunction with several other states having declared their support, Roosevelt is now the presumptive Republican candidate. What is unusual, however, is that Roosevelt is the first vice president, having succeeded to the presidency through the death of a president, to receive such unanimous support for re-election. Part of the reason for this is that Roosevelt had already been a strong candidate when he was chosen to run as vice president. Another unusual characteristic of the upcoming convention is that it is not “packed” for Roosevelt, but that his candidacy truly reflects the will of the people.
