During the 1916 New York State Republican Convention, Governor Charles Seymour Whitman and party leader William Barnes, disagreed over whom to support for the presidential nomination. Barnes supported Senator Elihu Root while Whitman supported former New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes. Barnes as party leader, held enough power to assure Whitman his renomination for Governor. The image suggests that Whitman would have to support Root if he wanted to maintain the governorship.
