Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)
ALBANY, July 23.-William Barnes
and his hidebound Republican organi-
cation in Albany County are in the
depths of gloom to-day. Theodore
Roosevelt has refused to pull their
chestnuts out of the fire. In annouDc-
ing that he would not enter the pri-
mares for the Republican nomination
for Governor Colonel Roosevelt went
counter to all their expectations. Mr..
Barnes him self was confident up to the
last minute that Colonel Roosevelt
would run.
The former President had been
barnes's bitterest enemy Barnes,
more than any one else, was respon-
slble for Colonel Roosevelt's failure to
get the Republican nomination for
President in 1912, and later fought him
IN libel suit in the courts. His aver
SION to Governor Whitman, however, is
stronger than it ever was to Roose-
welt.
30 sure was Barnes that Colonel
Roosevelt would run that he arranged
the Republican Albany County judc-
larry slate on the belief that Attorney
General Merton E. Lewis would with
planned that he should seek renomi-
nation for Attorney General.
Deputy Attorney General Harold J.
Hinman, former ajorty leader of the
Assembly and Barnes lieutenant, mad
been slated on the Lewis ticket for
: Attorney General, but with Roosevelt
as the candidate for Governor Hinman
was squeezed out to find place for
Lewis: The Barnes-controled judiciary
committee of this district indorsed
Rlnman for the Republican nomination
tor Supreme Court justice to succeed
Justice Chester. turning down County
Judge George Addington, who had been
the popular candidate. The treatment
of Judge Addington, in fact, has caused
Indignation among large number of
Albany County organization men, and
particularly among the women, with
whom he was in favor because of his
activities in the interest of child vel
fare.
Barnes men, who had in former years
nothing but enmity for Roosevelt, were
last week and up to yesterday ex-
tolling him to the skies. To-day they
are running to cover, particularly
those who are holding jobs under the
Whitman administration. They have

beaten they had been hoping for better
times. Now they are not so sure that
Whitman Will be beaten
In the meantime Whitman men are
building up an organization of their
own in Albany County. 1t is headed by
William j. Rice, former Barnes man
and at one time Deputy Commissioner
of Public Safety in this city, and it is
receiving the active support of many
Albany County women, who have had
little use for Barnes because Of his
opposition to woman suffrage. The
Whitman men here are seeking to off
set the knitting which they expect from
the Barnes organization IN Albany
County.

patton and entertainment is the Young Mems Christian association Its or ganization is so large and so complete and so effective that it enters into very soldiers life. Of course, on the other side, when we have casualties and many wounded, the functions of the Red Cross will assume the greater importance; but in the training camps it is otherwise.
 Tt is most gratifying to be able to testify, from all the information I could get, that no camps have ever been so free from drunkenness as those in this present national effort. In most cases the nearest towns are dry. and the great cities where drink may be had are so far from the camps as not to prove a temptation. The same thing is true of the morality of the men, so far as l was able to learr from the commanding officers. There were some of the camps where the neighbofing towns were wet, but the danger of selling liquor to soldiers as violation of the commercial law has proved a very excellent preventive. must think from what I saw that the activities of the Y. Nj. c. A. and thesa . other institutions have played a large part in maintaining decent and prop1r living among the soldiers.
 Each camp is great city of from 1,400 to 1000 buildings, sufficient to house and accommodate 0,000 men. The distance from one end of a camp to another is often three or four miles and from one side of a camp to the other some two or three miles. There
