inflated Values and Strong
 Demand Keep Prices Up

Washington, June 5.-1nflated yalu- atons of o,ner commodities, coupled with strong demand, are blamed for high prices Of vegetables and fruits in a weekly summary of market con- ditions issued today by the Depart ment of Agriculture.
 It is saiG that almost twice as many cars of cabbage, onions and lettuce have been coming to market as com pared with last season. The supply of apples is greater than usual during summer season; there are plenty of field beans and the leading lines of domestic fruits sand vegetables alto gether have filled at least 10000 cars more than last season.
 Why, then are prices generally higher than last season and especially during the summer months 22 asked the department in it's statement
 No question is asked more frequent ly but the answers differ Exports of sucn products have not amounted to much as compared with production, and many lines of leading vegetables have been cheaper in Europe than here, Losses from poor keeping have been rather less than ill some other weather
 "The generally inflated valuation of most other commidities probably help ed to raise the price of fruits and veg tables says the statement Higher cost of marketing helps explain high prices in the cities, but not at shipping points. The strong demand seems to be the main cause of the persistently high prices Throughout the season wage earners, as a class, have had far more money to spend than ever before, The records of shipments show that consumers have bought as much pro- duce of this kind as usual; not cutting down quantity nor using substitutes extensively as they have sometimes done in less prosperous times

REPUBLICANS SEEM 70
 BE HavssG TaOUDLE
aFollette May Cause G. 0. P. Lead CTS Trouble in the Chicago
 Convention.

Chicago, June '. - What chance is there of third party candidate?
 Does Hiram Johnsons promise not to bolt remove the danger of such a complication?
 What about the Forty Fighters, the Labor Party and the Farmers Non partisan League?
 Will Bob La Toilette stand hitched? :? These are questions now being ask ed, in low tones and in sequesered corners by the Republican bosses. Of course the bosses are not saying any thing openly except that everything is all fine and that their particular candidate will be nominated on the third or fourth ballot But, under heath, there is far from a cheery or confident feeling.
 For eight years the Republican par ty has been kept out of the presidency by lack of harmony in it's own ranks The progressives and reactionary wings have not Tapped together Here and now the progressive element is ',anifesting itself through Hiram hnson, while the extreme of reaction
 postponed by the money-prompted ididates of Wood and Lowden,
 The Progressive defection killed Taft's chances in 1912, The same dis affection-though the party had been dissolved and Roosevelt had become regular-killed Hughes chances in 1916. If the "old guard now turn down Hiram Johnson-as they very likely willard name some other one as a candidate, will there be bolt of the Republican voters?
 This question, written on the back ground of the 1912 and 1916 political history, is beginning to loom like tiie biblical writing on the wall, and the prophets of Israel have been called in to read the writing.
 The answer is at hand
 There Il Be Third Party. The voters will have a third party candidate. The Committee of Forty Eight it attending to that. So is the Labor party and the Farmers Non pGTtisian alliance
 The hall has been engaged-the auditorium in this city-and the call
 cen issued for the third party
 ton to meet July II, 12 and 12
 e5 are the same for the Labor
 onvention, which will also be
