Charles H. Betts proposes how to choose a candidate at the convention if he and Theodore Roosevelt cannot agree beforehand. The only ticket that all Republicans can agree on and is likely to be elected is the one he presented six months prior with Roosevelt for governor and James W. Wadsworth for Lieutenant Governor. Betts cautions that political conditions differ in New York City and the state of New York.
