kins, organizer of the Harvester trust

financial sponsor for Roosevelt's can

Mr. Perkins surrounded himself
with secrecy. He arrived in the

rooms in the Blackstone. He ate
luncheon with H. H. Kohlsaat and
soon thereafter sent out a call for
the various Roosevelt leaders.
They came to him-Senator Dixon,
Committeeman Ward from New York
and others. No one would say any
thing about the matters discussed and
all interested were left to Speculate
that the conference had to do with
the extent of the payroll of the Roose-
welt workers.
Early in the afternoon Mr.. Perkins
left the hotel and from then until
late he was out of reach of all but
those for whom he sent.

NO TRUNK HIGHWAY
 UNDER MACDONALD
That is Position of Governor Baldwin, Who Makes Public His Views in Letter to Auto mObilistS

The scheme of putting up to- the candidates in advance of election questions of general interest has been adopted by the New Haven Automo- bile club, and in connection with the vigorous speech of Governor. Baldwin here Monday evening his reply to a question from Frank H. Mason, secre- tary of the New Haven club, is of more than passing interest Governor Baldwin points out that he is opposed to the construction of permanent trunk highway so long as James H. Macdonald is state highway connis- want of scientific training as a civil engineer incapacitates him from prop erly performing the duties attached to the office and would make the undertaking of such a project mex pedient.
 Here is what Governor Baldwin
 sI should not be in favor of any expenditure for such 8 road you suggest, 50 long as the present high way commissioner holds over, as such.
 stIn 1895 the system of state aid for good roads was established and placed under the charge of a board of three highway commissioners, appointed for six years; one of them to be a capa- able and experienced civil engine CT, lPublic Acts of 1895, page 655.) man of this board. In 1897 there was substituted for this board q single highway commissioners, to hold for two years, who was to be a capable and experienced road builder. James H. Macdonald was appointed to the place.
 s'It may, indeed, be said to have been made for him, and hence the omission of any requirement. that the commissioner should be civil en- gineer. In 1899 the term was pro- longed to four years and he was re- appointed. In 1908 and again in 1907 he was reappointed. In 1911 he was not reappointed- "A capable and ex- perienced civil engineer was nonai-, mated, but the senate rejected the nomination. This was pursuant to caucus vote of the senators who were in a political majority. that no one should be confirmed unless MT. Mac donald was renomfnated. Since 1911, when his term expired, he has held over. In my judgment his want of scientific training as a civil engineer incapacitates him from properly per forming the duties attached to the off, fee, and would make it inexpedient to bond the state, for any permanent trunk highway across it's territory, begun or constructed while he occu- pies the position of highway commis- sioner, HOW held by him for seventeen years
