Meanwhile, the government of the

Back of the candidates whom we

Power Group Looks Ahead

II >
i the Morgan partners, says that
his firm, which has come to domin-
ate the power business in northern
New York, will be glad to confer
with Governor Franklin Roosevelt
on the question of developing state
power policy.
He says that neither the House
of Morgan nor any of its associates
has taken a stand for or against
public or private ownership, so far
as he knows.
On the other hand, George Nor
ris of the New York Telegram, a
shrewd political observer, says that
the power group is preparing to
nominate and elect a Republican
Governor in 1880 who will be fav-
orable to it's interests.
Opposed as these two views may
appear at first glance, they are
neither irreconcilable nor inconsis-
tent.
Conferences can be employed to
postpone agreements, as we'll as to
make them.
If Governor Roosevelt could be
induced to confer long enough, the
power group might be able to elect
a Republican Governor amenable
to its wishes, without ever once
taking the position that it opposed
Governor Roosevelt's plan for state
development of the st. Lawrence.
Effective Politics
THERE is more politics in the
Il mergers and consultations
now being formed than there is ir
what candidates are saying, or what
party platforms contain.
Worse still, it is the most
effective brand of politics-doubly
effective because the politicians
themselves often fail to realize what
is happening until afterward.
Business, especially in its larger
activities, is becoming the unofficial
government of these United States
1t not only has third house in
Washington, but at every state
capitol, and those third houses
never adjourn.
Though working through corpora
tions that are chartered in some
one of the respective states, and
that are, therefore, % lures of the
state in theory, business not only
has become national in scope and
character, but threatens to become
international. which is something
else our politicians and statesmen
are overlooking.
Internationalism horrifies most
people. particularly when mentioned
BY Communists, Socialists, or even
parlor pinks. yet no force is driving
the world toward it faster, or more
effectively. than business.

PARIS. May 28.-CP,-Prince De
Sagan. l9-year-old son of the for
mer Anna Gould. died today after
a vain l1-day fight to recover from
a bullet wound. self inflicted, when
his parents objected to his marrying
until he was 21.
The prince came home from his
school in southern France and
sought his parents permission to
wed a girl. nearly two years older
than himself. with whom he had
fallen in love.
She and her parents had accom-
panied him TO Paris, and they ex-
pected to be married Immediately.
His father. the Duke DE Tallyrand,
insisted he wait until he was Fl
years old.
He sought his mother, the Duchess
De Tallyrand. Il she took the same
position as the father. expressing
complete satisfaction with his choice
but insisting he wait until he at
tanned his majority. Finally she
modified this and told him they
might be married when he was 20, in
July.
The young man protested that If
they did not grant him permission
TO marry at once he would shoot
himself. but his mother did not take
him seriously. She had hardly left
when she heard a shot and turned
TO have him almost fall in her arms.
The girl was Immediately notified
and remained with him hour after
hour in the vain hope she would be
able to aid his recovery.
