ROOT SIDES WITH GRISCOM
His Influence for the Progress
sives-Old Guard Leaders Active.

Just what part in the fight of the Pro-
gress;ves to wrest the control of the Re-
publican organization in this state from
the 'od guard will be taken by Senator
Root decided yesterday in a long talk
that he had with Lloyd G. Ciriscom. who
did not want to go into details but made 1t
clear that the sympathies of the Junior
Senator were with the Progressives
The conference was held AT the Hotel
Belmont. where Senator Root is staying
with his family. He is going to his sum
mer home in Clinton. Oneida County. this
morning. where he will spend some time.
Mr.. Griscom reached the hotel in the mid
die of the morning. had luncheon with
Senator Root and did not leave until late
in the afternoon.
1t was not expected that Senator Root
would take an active part i'm the fight be
ing made by the Progressives. but it Is
understood that he will act in an advisory
capacity and throw all the weight of his
influence to that side of the fight.
When Mr. Griscom was asked II they had
talked direct primaries and as 70 whether
the Senator was in favor of that reform.
he replied:
Senator Root is on record for primary
reform in the speech that he made at the
Saratoga State Convention two years ago.
William Barnes. jr.. commander in chief
of the ''old guard" forces, returned yester-
day from his summer home at Nantucket
He was at state headquarters before the
office force had arrived. and was already
deeply engaged in mapping out the battle.
Later he was Joined by State Chairman
Woodruff, and they spent most of the day
together In close conference Every now
and then they would send out for the
stenosrap piers and dictate more letters
Mr. Barnes seemed to be in an i'll hurior.
Chairman Woodruff said there was abso-
lutely nothing to say. Asked If he had any
conferences during the day with any OF the
upstate leaders the state chairman replied:
We are not saying who we are talking
to- nor are We telling what they say to US
or what we say to them.
Then you are working under cover. Is
that it,
NO, not exactly that" replied Mr..
Woodruff with smile.

BARNES GETS NEW ARGUMENT
Direct Nomination, He Says, Names
Man Who Killed Himself

William Barnes. ir., found occasion tc
take another fling at direct primaries last
night He had just read dispatch from
Wisconsin saying that the primaries there
had returned Frank Tucker nominated
for Attorney General. although Mr.. Tucker
was drowned week ago. and was sup
posed to have committed suicide.
This is a great commentary on direct
nominations" said Mr.. Barnes. Dead
men have been nominated before but the
nomination of a man who had killed him
self shows the acumen of the voter under
the direct nominations system"

From the fact that Ex-Lieut Gov. Lake favors limitation of the powers of a public utilities corporation. to the investigation of complaints and the en- fOrcement of existing laws, and would not endow it with the power of rem edying abuses when proven, but would reserve that right to the Legislature, it is reasonable to infer that his can- didacy for Governor is now, or will be, favored by the corporations It fol- lows that the other members of the Bulkeley Lake - Hawley-Paige-R Rogers combination are also, or will be, sup ported by the corporations, for it is ever a fact that 'birds of a feather flock together" Needless to say, it is formidable combination, one which must be closely watched if the popu- lar demand for a properly endowed public utilities commission is not to be rejected. The real fight will be in the primaries and caucuses-in the selection of delegates to the several conventions.

PROSECUTION OF BEEF TRUST

In what degree. the high cost of liv- mg has been caused by the operations pf the Beef Trust which appears to work under the name of f"The National Packing Company. may be revealed by the legal proceedings to be initiated 1t Chicago this week by the Federal government. provided of course that khfs tardy prosecution is brought in good faith and not merely as a sop to public sentiment %,
 For years, the Beef Trust has almost steadily advanced the prices of meats, occasionally giving alleged reasons for the increases but more often without suplanation. A chief reason given has been an alleged scarcity of cattle, despite the facts that live stock are constantly exported and that our ex- ports of beef, pork, etc., are always heavy. In face of these facts, we have been told that unless the supplies of beef cattle increase materially, this country will speedily become an inn porter of live stock and meats in order to meet the home demand. It is i'm possible to make such statements fit In with the heavy export trade.
 A few years ago, there appeared fin print a revelation of the modus oper- Andi of the Beef Trust in securing live stock. In substance it was that but one buyer would appear In the market for each shipment from the cattle ranches, and consequently there was no competition and he was thus en- abled to fix the prices, the results be- ing that the profit margin for the ranchers vanished in part or wholly and that there were actual losses on more or less shipments. The Beef Trust was calling for @ larger pro- duction of live stock. lest this country be compelled to buy South American cattle in order to supply the home market. while at the same time the Trust was so working the market as to discourage American production and to drive home cattle-raisers out of business.
 Nothing has awakened the Ameri- can people to realization of the enor- mites of the Beef Trusts operations more than the recent authorized reve- lation that the net profits of Armour & Co. last year amounted to 35.6 per cent sss
 Let snsc most earnestly hope that the prosecution of the Beef Trust will be 30 vigorous and effective as to drive it out of businessi
