MARKETS
The Quotations as Given by Our Local
Traders and Merchants.

There are no variations in the local
market quotations since last week.
There is an abundance of greens to be
had at present, reminding us that
spring is almost here.
We have attempted to give the local
market quotations with greater ac-
curacy, in our recent issues, and wish
to make this feature thoroughly de-
pendable. Where our figures appear
to have been wrong, we will thank
our patrons for calling the matter to
our attention. 1t is likely, also, that
some things raised or dealt in by
Somerset county people, should be
added to the products already men
toned Suggestions to this end will
be welcome. 1t is in compliance
with a suggestion of one of our
readers that we have recently added
the Boston Market Report to this de-
partment.

4 new WARSHIPS
WANTED AT ONCE

Washington, June 7.-Representative
George S. Graham of Philadelphia yes
terday introduced in the house a bill
authorizing the president to order the
immediate construction of three battle
ships. These ships are to be rs speedy
and powerful as any now af1oat or in
course of construction. No allusion is
made 70 Japan's activities in battleship
construction or to recent authorization
for battleships made by Germany and
England.
To enable the president to issue his
orders for the new battIeships with
out waiting for action by the naval af-
fairs committees of the house and SEN
ate, Sl5.O00,00O is appropriated by the
bill, 1t is provided that the battle
ships shall not cost more than 6.0OO,-
600 each without their armor and arm
ament. Each ship, when completely
equipped, will cost about s15,OOO,OO0.
Mr.. Graham presented his bill giving
the president this extraordinary power
for defense of the country because of
his belief in 'the woeful unprepared-
ness of the country to resist a sea at
tack from any of the great naval DOW.
ers of the world" Similar bills are
to follow from other members of the
house.
A determined effort will be made to
push the Graham bill to passage this
session.
Members Of the naval affairs CON-
mittee approve the bill and urge i'm
Iheulate action. Representatives
Stephens of California, Hobson of Ala.
bama and Britten of Illinois have de-
ciared in favor of the three battle.
ships and are ready to support their
authorization at once.
Representative Broussard (Senator-
elect of Louisiana:
The bill is a good one. II is the

LAFOLLETTE HIT
ON HIS WRITINGS

Milwaukee, Wis, June 7.-Medill
Mccormick of Chicago, Illinois pro-
gressive leader, in speech before the
Milwaukee Progressive club, last night
attacked the accuracy of Senator La
Follette's autobiography and describ.
La Toilette as "a man so embittered
by disappointment that he thwarted
progress and achievement to defeat a
more popular rival"
Mr.. Mccormick said that he was mot
chagrined TO find my own name on the
list of those Mr.. La Toilette brands as
traitors: Pinchot, Cummins, Hiram
Johnson, William Allen White, and
Roosevelt"
But l am saddened." he continued,
ito remember that a movement which
might have been successful in 1912 IL
La Toilette had fought the good fight
failed in that year and that he has
made up his vengeful purpose so clear
that his hope of election to the high
est office in the country has been de.
stroyed by his own hand.
icrous to find in the last pages of the
autobiography that the senator consid.
ers himself the sole incorporate ex-
preston of progressive principles
Senator La Follette's account of the
primary campaign of 1912, according to
Mr.. Mccormick, contains numerous in
accuracies. Mr.. Mccormick said that
he would explain certain things re-
garding which no explanation has been
made concerning the substitution of
the name Roosevelt for that of La Fol-
lette at the head of the progressive
ticket.
After your senator's breakdown in
Philadelphia all of his congressional
supporters except one we're of the
opinion that for his own sake and that
of the progressive cause he must with
draw as a candidate" Mr.. Mccormick
said. His manager told me that at
one time Senator La Toilette had as
scented to a public withdrawal After
the more equivocal statement was
agreed on his manager told me that
this was TO be interpreted as a release
of Mr.. La Follette's supporters. II
was not until We were so released that
we gave our support to another can
didate.
When the movement within the re.
publican party began Senator La Fol.
lette did not denounce his candidacy.
The headquarters were known not as
the La Toilette headquarters, but as
the progressive republican headquar-
ters''
Mr.. Mccormick came into the state
to aid in organizing La Follette's own
state against him.
Not only did the progressives last
night plan a general campaign for the
progressive party next year, but they
even went so far as to make up a ten.
tative slate Of Candidates as far as the
first two places on the ticket. These
candidates will be: ~
For governor-Martin Pattison. SUI
perior, mining and lumber magnate. re-
puted millionaire
For lieutenant governor-Francis
Taugher, Manitowoc, business man.

and bladder become infamed and
swollen, worse trouble may quickly
follow. This is often the cause of

ache, etc. Uric poisoning is also fire.
