CONFERENCE AT BEVERLY
BETWEEN TAFT AND ROOT
Visit Caused Much SpecuIation-Re-
ports and Runors.

Beverly, Mass, Oct. ia five hours
conference between President Taft
and Senator E1ihu Root of New York
caused much speculation in Beverly
today. Senator Root arrived shortly
before noon and left again for New
York at five O'Clock. He Would not
discuss his visit to the president in
any way.
1t was reported that President Taft
had summoned Senator Root to the
summer capital to talk over prospec-
tive supreme court appointments,
among other things. This report led
tor Root might himself become a mem
Der of that high tribunal The sena
tor declared after his conference with
the president that like all good citizens
he was deeply Interested in the su-
preme court. but he would not say
that his talk with the president had
any relation to himself.
He is IS years old and it was re-
ported in Washington following the
appointment and confrma tion of Jus
tice Lurton last winter, that the pres
ident had entered into a tacit agree
ment with the judiciary committee of
the senate that he would not appoint
any more justices TO the supreme
bench over so years of age. 1t is also
cited here that Justice Hughes hav-
ing just been appointed from New
York, President Taft probably would
not go to that state for another judge

Root and Mr.. Taft also discussed to-
day the part that Colonel Roosevelt is
to play in the campaigns of this year

Meriden Conn, Oct. 10-The fall
campaign for this city of the republl-
can party.was opened here tonight with
the address of the evening given by
Charles A. Goodwin, the party nominee
for governor. Among the other speak
ers were former Congressman Watson
of Indiana and Col A. y. Shepard of
Portland the republican nominee for
congress in the Second district.
Regards Judge Baldwin as Foremost
Citizen.
In opening his remarks, Mr.. Good
win said that as he WAS going to crit
1cize the attitude of his opponent he
wanted to place himself on record as
among those who regard Judge Bald
win as one of our foremost citizens, 'as
one Of those who greatly prize his in
ternational reputation. his high place
as a scholar and a lawyer, and the
lasting pablic service he has per-
formed for Connecticut during the past
eighteen years"
Constructive Legislation Needed.
Continuing, Mr.. Goodwin said in
part:
Judge Baldwin in his able speech
in New Haven the other night pre-
sented for the consideration of the
voters four issues, three of which are
contained in the republican platform,
and the fourth he presents apparently
a new issue. The Legislature of
19O5, having as always a republican
majority, placed on the statute books
a corrupt practices act which was
amended and strengthened by sue
Ueeding legislatures. | know that the
law was originally drafted by men as
able and patriotic as any we have, and
know that il the provisions of the
present act, if enforced. prevent cor
rupt practices and that these provf-
sions can be enforced is clear from my
own experiences in the city of Hart
ford. IF Judge Baldwin has some new
and effective provisions to add to- this
law. let him come forward with them
but let him not say that there is not
n working act upon the statute books
nt the present time. Connecticut is
looking this winter for constructive
legislation, not general statements.
Public Service Corporations.
There is no question in my mind
that the people in Connecticut demand
adequate supervision of tae public ser
vice corporations along The general
lines laid down in the states of New
York and Massachusetts. Judge Bald
win in an interview and in his speech
expresses doubt as to whether the
railroad should be included as one of
the agencies to be supervised. Gentle
men, the opposition is absolutely unit
ed: it runs under no false gods it
makes no mistakes; it has no enthusi-
asms: it knows exactly what it wants
and it is grim and relentless in pur-
suing what it wants. The bill pre-
ssnted by the State Business Mems
association is the result of experience
gained through two sessions and by
one commission. Tt was drawn by the
same attorneys who represented the
state Business Mems association be-
fore the legislative committee last year
and It's provisions have been tested
under the fire of some of the alolast
corporation lawyers in the state, and
