CHEAP CAPITAL NEEDED
GOUernOr johnson Points Out Ma

rBy Telegraph to The Tribune

Richmond Va, May A.-Governor John A. John
son of Minnesota addressed the American Cotton
Manufacturers Association, in session here, to-
night calling attention to of the needs of
the nation After paying tribute to the cotton
producing states. he pointed out the necessity Of
adequate and cheap capital for the development
of national industries.
Continuing Governor Johnson urged the develop
ment of internal waterways, which, he said, had
been neglected for century. He pointed that
the government spends s250,o0O,COO year on
prepar rations and maintenance to guard the ma
ton against imaginary foe and petty s25, 600, =
greatest natural waterway resources the globe.
On the subject of railways Governor johnson
said:
The necessity for a firm public control of the
private railway Is so thoroughly intrenched in the
than n practicable workirg-plan for effectuatipg
that control. States and nation are alike aroused
The largest present problem Is to avoid conflict
between states and nation in defining the boun-
apparent IS the temptation OF the federal soyern-
ment To attempt centralization all railway
control in itself to the exclusion the rights and
powers of the states. Minnesota has just passed
the setting aside by federal lower court OF three
state legislative acts regla ting and reducing com
modify, merchandise and passenger rates, and the
sovereign power OF the state has been arrested by
OF the court, seized Attorney General and
stopped the enforcement OF state law. Such a CON

shows plainly the dangers OF uncertainty and

BOOMING MR.. FAIRBANKS.
Vice-President Taking No Part in
Campaign for Second Place.
TFrom The Tribune Bureau.l

Washington, May 21-That active
paign to bring about the nomination Of Vice
President Fairbanks for second place on the
ticket with Secretary Taft is being conducted by
the friends and managers of the Fairbanks boom
is acknowledged, although Mr.. Fairbanks
is taking part in 1t. Mr.. Healing. the shrewd
Fairbanks manager, has opened headquarters in
Chicago, and Is pushing the Campaign at that
end, while Senator Hemenway is pressing 1t in
Washington and Representative Watson is look
ing out for it in Indiana.
This is the first open acknowledgement from
the camp of the late allies" that Secretary
Tafts nominaton is assured, although only re-
Gently another of the allies" was with difficulty
restrained from jumping on the Taft bandwagon.
1t has been declared peculiar that the men
who short time ago were insisting that Mr..
Fairbanks had an excellent chance of being
nominated for first place should be pushing
him for second while he himself is preserving
absolute silence the subject but il is
called that he never said that he would like the
Vice Presidency four years ago until he was al
most nominated. and it is further explained that
he does not care to have it look if he had
made deal for second place or to incur the
risk of being rejected by the Taft managers.
For these reasons his friends say they will hold
the Indiana delegation intact until there is no
chance of their candidate being thrown down
and left without any strength in the convention.
Indiana newspapers enlisted in support of
Mr. Fairbanks which arrived here to-day. have
set at rest every doubt that his friends are
pressing his claims for second place and are
working energetically for pledged delegates on
that basis 1t is positively asserted to-day that
William L. Ward national committeeman from
New York is party to the Fairbanks -for-s sec
ond-place movement.

PLAYING A WAITING GAME.
Talk of End Of Legislative Session About
Next Thursday.

Albany May A--The Assembly adjourned to-day
until Monday evening. The Senate will hold q
technical Legislative day tomorrow, but will
transact business. Speaker Wadsworth said
this afternoon that he would send word TO the
members of the Assembly that they would be ex-
pected TO be present Tuesday, and that next
week would be working week in that house
This gave rise to a good deal Of gossip but moth
ing definite can yet be said what the result
the week may be.
There has been much talk about the ending of
the extraordinary session about Thursday of next
week either by adjournment sine die or by the
taking of a long recess-even until December 81
Nothing has been definitely decided the whole
matter depending apparently whether Governor
Hughes WILL send in a message recommending con-
sideration of the anti-gambing bills Monday or
Tuesday after the Senator. Mr.. Wallace OF
the 47th District seated Will wait still further
for the recovery Of Senator Foelker who is i'll at
S1aatsburg after an operation for appendicitis. In
short waiting and drifting is the phrase which
best describes the situation 1t stands at the
