That the contest for control of tho Saratoga rpnuhlicnn tiartv is to be sharp is indicated by lato returns from the nriinnrips nominating delegates. It will probably take tho official count to decide whether Roosevelt or Vice President Sherman will control. It is not likely, according to tho latest ficures. that tho majority will bo more than ten or fifteen votes either way. William Barnes, Jr., of Albany, claims that Sherman's majority will bo 55. Lloyd C. Griscqm, chief lieu tenant for Roosevelt, claims the colonel will control tho convention by nt least 70 votes. Tho latest esti mates made by politicians horo closo ly watching tho contest show tlmt the regulars can count on 492 dele gates, It requires 508 to control.

Fa voring river and harbor improvement, but attacking tho "pork barrel" method of making appropriations, President Taft today mado tho prin cipal address at the opening of tho Ohio river dam. He discussed tho relative speed of river boats and railroad trains and said ho saw no reason why boat schedules could not bo ns regular as the schedules of trains. The piecemeal system of river im? provements nnd appropriations he considered inadequate. Ho saidisuch. system encouraged other sootions with unnecessary projects to demand appropriations. Tho president then recited part of the message sent when ho threatened to veto tho last rivors and harbors appropriation bill, saying: "Tho evil in corrupt control of congress or legislatures by private interests is manifest always and. is, causo for condemnation. But thero is nnothor legislative abuse us dan gerous and that is tho selfish com bination of representatives of. tho majority to spend tho money of tho govornmont for the temporary bon efU of a part of tho people, with 1U tlo benefit to tho whole. It is tho duty of tho majority and of thu mi nority to legislate for tho benofit of tho whole ueople. Enactments look ing for tho selfish exploitation of loss than tho wholo pooplo at tho o. ponso of tho wholo is a specios of legislative abuso which comes near corruption in its offeot. Perhaps it is moro dangerous tbnn corruption bocauso those supporting such a combination aro usunlly bold in its defense Tho days of tho 'pork bar rel' should bo numborod. Tho coun try is aroused against corporate cor ruption and tho control of legislative hgoticies, but it is doubtful whether constituencies nro yet able to per ceivo tho highor obligation on the, part of thomsolvos and their repre-' sontntives not to uso votes in com bination to appropriate to a part th'at which bolougs to tho whole. i i A' - ;.V j ; -k A VJ & - m 3Twe2er- "3ST
