MAY MAKE SENATE
RACE IN WISCONSIN

Joseph e. Davies. former chairman
of the Federal Trade Commission, and
now a member OF that body, is loom.
ing up as the man likely to make the
race for the Senatorship in wiscon-
sin on the Democratic ticket.
Even IL the legislature in special
session gives Governor Philip the
power to appoint, the different ele-
ments in the State will begin plan
ming on the election which will come
sooner or later.
Friends OF Mr.. Davis here today
said that while he was not seeking
the Senatorship. he was being urged
by numerous Democrats to run, and
that 1t was probable he would consent
to enter the race. 1t would involve
some financial sacrifice for him to
leave the Trade Commission, on which
he received $4,000 a year, and be-
come Senator at $500 a year.

The Wisconsin Senatorial situation
still continues mBddled and uncertain,
but there is no doubt that Senator La
Follette's attitude with respect 10 the

Whatever candidate is backed by
Senator La Toilette will be fought by
the anti-La Toilette Republicans and
by the Democrats on the ground that
the State of Wisconsin is being

The price of potatoes is on the increase

In the next ten days. according to the
latest opinions of the wholesale produce
dealers OF Washington.
The scarcity Of potatoes, which was
frst noticeable about six months ago
has steadily increased until the vegetable
has become luxury in a great many
homes. A canvass of the local whole
sale and retail dealers to determine the
cause Of the high prices Of potatoes and
the outlook in the market for the future
revealed a serious shortage in crops and
promise Of higher prices.
Practically no potatoes are obtainable
here from New England or the West.
This is due to poor crops, the commission
market merchants assert What little
quantities OF potatoes the merchants can
obtain from the Northern and Western
sections OF the country and at far too
high figure to dispose Of. The potato
crop of Florida, Of which Washington has
received supplies. has been diminished by
heavy frost, which killed crops through
out the South.
Potatoes now selling for H75 barrel
will reach the SO mark within the next
ten days. the merchants say. A serious
shortage in crops is predicted for the
coming season, unless the farmers re-
serve supply OF seed potatoes.

When women and children cry for
bread" declared Mr.. London, you can
not call it a riot. 1t is an outcry to
Heaven for relief and it is a great pity
that Congress cannot find time to inVestl-
gate this most serious lack of prosperity
The strange thing about New YORK Is
that the three principal items of expense
Of the poor man is for food, clothing and
rent. New York is the greatest manu-
facturer of clothing in the country. 1t
is the largest industry in New York
State.
In New York City there is no safer
barometer of prosperity than the condi-
ton of the clothing industry. 1t employs
about 100000 workers.
THE people are not enjoying prosperity
for the simple reason that whatever in
creases of wages the workers have re-
ceived during this period of traordnary
prosperity due to the European war, has
been eaten up by the increase in the cost
Of food"
