sUNIsER is READY.
Vessel to Carry Marines to Cuba Placed
in Commission.

OYSTER BAY, Sept. 25.-PIans for
the transfer of troops from the United
States TO Cuba in the event of the
failure of Secretary Taft's mission to
bring about peaceful solution of the
trouble in the island republic have
been completed.
The final step was taken today, ac-
cording to an announcement made here
tonight, when the transport Sumner
now lying at the New York navy yard.
was put in commission. The Sumner
is in readiness for the immediate en-
barkation of troops. Negotiations are
already under way for the acquisition
of merchant steamers to be used as
transports.
That the events of today, as told in
the press dispatches, have hastened
plans which have been long in prepa-
ration, seems apparent. Additional
warships will reach Cuba within a few
days and will he ready TO land marines
If necessary long before the regular
troops now awaiting orders can be
moved. Should armed Intervention
come, these forces will undoubtedly
form the vanguard of the invading
army.

exercise great care in order TO retain
his sight.
Judge Morrow has a sufficient num-
ber of cases pending in his court to
keep three Judges busy for several
years. In addition to this burden il is
a part of his duty TO act as a member
of the United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. 1t was
for these reasons that he requested
some time ago the appointment OF an
additional Federal Judge for the North
ern District of California. The request
was denied by Congress owing to an
error made by clerk who had been
detailed to report upon the quantity
of business done in the United States
Circuit Court and the United States
District Court in this city.
The error has been rectihed. and II
is believed that Congress at it's next
session will grant Judge Morrows ap-
plieation for relief. Similar action 10
that requested by him has been taken
by Congress in several judicial dis
tricts in the East.

ABOUT MAINE.
Labor Leader Reviews Cam
paign Against Littlefeld
in the Pine Tree State
RESULT IS PLEASING

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-In the Oc-
tober issue of the American Fedora
zionist, an organ of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, President Gompers
reviews his campaign. against Repre-
sentative Littlefield in the Second Dis
trict of Maine and gives to organized
labor credit for the reduction OF Lit
tlefield's majority from 5491 in 1904 TO
about 1000 in 1906. He says that labor
did not undertake to defeat Littlefield
because he was Republican nor be-
cause his conspicuous opponent was a
Democrat. 1t made a clean tight
against Littlefield because of his Bit
ter, relentless antagonism to the best
interests of the wage earners as well
as the common people of our country
He charges "the interests" with di-
rect effort in Littlefields behalf and
declares that ..the commercial, railroad
and shipping trusts poured immense
sums of money into the campaign, and
the methods used to get the nomination
were amply employed to secure Little
fields election at any cost" He also
charged the Maine Congressman with
unworthy methods in conducting his
campaign.
Considerable attention is given to the
part taken in the campaign by Speaker
publicans from the outside who went
to Littleheld's assistance. OF the
Speaker, Gompers says.
He totally misrepresented the aims
and purposes of labor in his speeches"
and he charges the Speaker with so
constituting the committees of the
House that wrongs of labor might be
continued and the rights of the people
denied" and he adds that Mr.. Little
field was one of his capable lieutenants
in carrying out that policy"
OF Taft. Gompers says:
"As for the affinity of Secretary of
War Taft with Littlefield and solicitude
for his reelection, I need but refer to
the fact that when Taft was Judge of
the Federal Court he issued one of the
earliest injunctions against which la
Dor so justly complains. Littleheld, a
member of the judiciary committee in
Congress. always used his position to
prevent any remedy of the injunction
evil and abuse"
Reference is also made to the parts
played by Senators Lodge and Bev.
eridge and others, and also to the Pres
ident's supposed interest in Littlefeld' S
behalf.
