From facts that have been cropping
out there Is good reason to anticipate
that the controversy between the treas
ury department and the Riggs Nation
al bank Of Washington, may develop
into a repetition Of the titanic struggle
between the old United States bank
and Andrew Jackson. The Riggs bank,
it appears, is part of the group of
which the City National bank Of New
York is the head, and until the present
administration got down to business,
was the connecting link between the
aforementioned group and the treasury
department. McAdoo is said to have
run afoul of the City National bank
crowd while he was digging the Hud-
son river tunnel, and it Is said that the
Riggs bank people decided the issue
against Williams in his fight for the
independent existence Of the Seaboard
Air Line railroad system. 1t is now
explained that McAdoo's action in de-
posting treasury funds in southern

crops, was dictated by a desire to
checkmate the National City group in
it's policy of squeezing the profit out of
cotton at marketing time and taking
in these profits later on. There is a
very general belief on the part Of peo-
pie standing high in the financial
world, that the McAdoo-W Williams pol
icy is seriously threatening the su-
premacy of the financial kings who
have held sway for so long, and there
seems to be a strong possibility that
the final issue Of the present fight will
be whether financial control Of Ameri-
ca will continue where it is now lodged
or settle down in the new regional re-
serve system.

then it is possible that there may be

ploy his own phrase. but he favors
l1lihu Root for the presidency.
The former president sat in his
apartment at the Blackstone and for
the better part of an hour yesterday
dlscoursed upon national questions
Mr.. Taft made psychological
analysis of the effect of the Euro
pean war on the 1916 political situa-
ton. He dwelt with diffidence on Re-
publican presidential politics. but said
that he was for Root as zone Of the
greatest living Americans"
He betrayed a personal feeling in
discussing the Philippines, and his
voice shook as he remarked that the
present governor general of the
islands was "wreoklng'' the super
structure of government that took
fourteen years to build and with
which the greatest part of MIR. Taft $
public career had been identified.
Colonel Roosevelt's name was
brought up once. It was at the con-
clusion of the interview.
During your trips have you heard
much taalk that Colonel Roosevelt
might be a candidate2" Mr.. Taft WIS
asked.
The former president threw back
his head while his frame shook with
laughter.

history of the old Bay State. It

If conditions remain as they are,
the prospects are for a Republican

my opinion is influenced by partisan
bent, but think it is conservative.
