WASHINGTON, July Is.
Clifford Pinchot, who organized the
forest service of the United States,
and was removed from office by Pres
ident Taft because of his protest
against the anti-conservation policies
of Secretary Ballinger. will probably
take a part in the Progressive pri-
mary campaign in New Jersey. and
urge the nomination of Edmund B.
Osborne for Governor.
Mr.. Pinchot took an active and
prominent part in the organization Of
the new party and in its campaign
last fall, and was one of the largest
contributors to the Bull Moose funds.
1t was known then, however, that he.
with other Progressives, were not
wholly satisfied with the part of the
party platform dealing with the trust
and monopoly issue.
Almost a Breach.
This difference of last fall has now
amounted to almost an open rupture.
Pinchot is one of the radical Progress
sives who agreed with the Osborne
Record group of Progressive leaders
in New Jersey that regulation of mo-
nopoly has been and will be a failure,
and that the only cure for the trust
evils is through public ownership of
railroads and utilities, and abolish
ment of the land monopoly, patent
monopoly. banking monopoly and
others based on special privilege. The
Progressive planks of last year, urgeo
by Roosevelt and George w. Perkins,
proposed regulation of private monop-
oily. The radical Progressives say
that this program means nothing
more or less than legalized private
monopoly. to which they are opposed.
Despite denials from o. K. Davis
and others, it is recognized here
among Progressives that there is
broad difference between the two
groups in the party over the trust is
sues, and that it will have to be
fought out in the primaries this year
and in the nomination of a. congress-

Osborne's Views Are Spreading.
bodying his proposals for the aboli
ton of special privilege, is being
widely circulated throughout the
country, and 1t is probable that the
radicals among the Progressives- in
other States will adopt 1t and demand
that it be made the declaration. of
principles and program of the party.
Mr.. Pinchot, who is expected to take
the lead on the radical side if the
differences ing the party become a
matter of national dispute. is at pres
ent at his home at Milford, Pa. A
letter received from him here today
announces that he is studying the
Osborne announcement very carefully
and hopes to be able to take an active
part in the Montclair mans campaign
against Everett Colby for the guber-
material nomination. H. B. w.
Mr.. Osborne said today that in
the letter he received from Amos Pin
chot congratulating him on his plat
form soon after its issuance, II was
also declared that Clifford Pinchot's
sentiments were the same regarding
Mr.. Osborne and his platform.
Amos Pinchot offered the services
of himself and his brother to aid Mr..
Osborne in putting his platform into
effect" and Mr.. Osborne said today
he would ask the Pinchot brothers to
come to aid him in his campaign,
