The contests will hardly take on the i'm

consider that would be too great risk.

Herbert Knox Smith, former Commls-
sioner of Corporations, and recently Pro-

w Alsop. of the State Progressive Com
mittee, and Frank S. Butterworth, of New
Haven. They had luncheon with their
chief and put in three hours going over
Connecticut politics. The colonel wanted
TO know all about the New Haven-Grand
Trunk muddle and Mr.. Smith furnished
him with the facts as he sees them.
Not a thing 10 say" smiled the col
onel when asked for results Of the con-
ference. He was in fine fettle. lie fol-

II was more sociability than otherwise.
Mr.. Smith admitted that the railroad sit

Progressives' attitude toward this burning
New England question.
There wouldn't he any burning ques-
ton If we had our way" he explained
We've built up these big corporations

them, not smash EN-. Divorce them from

There is something more TO railroadinS

You can never deal with railroad COM
