RUNY0N PROBES

Cites Fitzherbert Conviction
in Senate Hits Also at
High Taxes

JERSEY CITY, Oct. .-Wiliia1
N. Hunyon in a tour of Hudson
county yesterday charged that
George S. Silzer as a member OF
the state senate in 1912 had voted
to continue Senator Fitzherbert, OF
Morris county. in his zeal DESPITE
Fitzherbert's conviction by the sem
ate for aiding and abetting in an
attempted 5000 bribery case.
WHY did he not have the courage
OF his convictions and vote in cor
sistency with his advice to Fitzher-
bert to resign?" asked Senator Run
lyon. Mr.. Runyon inquired If the
PEOPLE thought such a man as
Senator Silzer had shown himself to
be in the Fitzherbert case is the
right man to entrust with higher
duties.
Mr.. Runyon also charged Judge
Silzer with insincerity in his discus
sion of tax issue. He pointed out
how taxes under the Hague admin
~istration had increased. Mr.. Run
yon also promised to deal from
night to night with the littls jokes
he said were concealed in the Demo-
cratic platform.
Accompanied everywhere he
goes by his master and mentor,
Frank Hague, the overload of the
Jersey City Democracy. Judge Sill
ger has quite naturally departed

Judge Silzer is quite fond of
pointing in a delightfully."- vague way
to his legislative record. He had
one opportunity, while a state sem
ator, to show what he would do vhen
it came to putting or keeping men
IN public office. At the time when
senator Fftzherbert, of Morris coun-
W, was on trial before the state SEN
ate on a charge of aiding and abet-
ting in a $4,000 bride from the COM

at the public clamor which arose
from his vote, Silzer Joined the other
minority senators a few days later
in a round-robin letter urging Fitz-
herbert to resign. If F~itzherbert
were not guilty why did the honor-
able senator write him a letter urg-

WEEKLY GRAIN AND
PROVISION REVIEW

Chicago, April S.-Liberal ship
ments of wheat to Chicago from
Missouri river points have Brought
about here this week a decline in
the price of the May deliver. Mean
while July and September deliver
les have scored an advance, owing
more or less to continued uncer.
tainty regarding the crop outlook
southwest. Compared with a week
ago wheat prices this morning var
led from Us cent setback to 2 Sc
gain, corn was up Is @1Ac, oats
lsc off to sc higher and provisions
at a rise of 40c to $1.75.
Movement of wheat to Chicago
from Omaha, St Joseph and other
western primary markets was gen
orally taken to mean that filling OF
May contracts here would be much
easier than was recently expected
by many traders and that short
age of breadstuffs would have to
be looked for later, if at all 1t
was pointed out in this connection
that the domestic visible supply of
wheat was still 10000 bushels
in excess of the figures year ago.
One of the chief sources of ap-
preheHsion as to the condition of
winter wheat in the southwest was
an opinion from a leading expert
that the crop would be likely to
show rapid deterioration If the
weather in May proved as dry as
usual. On the other hand, the
government crop report appeared to
impress the majority of traders as
having a somewhat bearish aspect
Corn and oats averaged higher
in price as a result largely OF wet
weather.
Upturns in pork, lard and ribs,
were ascribed in the main to high
er quotations on hogs

STOCK MARKET
is IRREGULAR
BUT is ON RISE

wall Street, New York, April g.
The stock market today again
encountered heavy realizing sales
which gave It at times a very ir-
regular appearance. But there
was no suggestion that the force of
the upward movement was abat-
ing. New high records for the year
we're made in railway stocks and
in the independent steels, in the
former because of expectation of
favorable traffic statements for
March and the still attractive in
yestment return offered at current
prices, in the later because of more
nrice advances at the steel centers.
The strength of these two groups
more than offset the effect of the
profit taking elsewhere.
Many new highs were reached
also in the railway bond list and
Il was another day of undimin-
ished activity in this market as it
was in stocks. The only influ-
ence traceable to the government
crop report appeared in the shares
of the Southw estern Rails, the
strength which was at least part
ly attributed to the removal of all
doubt regarding a possible wheat
shortage. The wheat market it
self had been so well prepared by
private estimates, for the govern
ment figures that it was not much
affected. For the first time since
the third week in March sterling
got above the s4.40 level. 1t was
still four cents higher on the
pound than the high record of
March.

point was the most interesting
feature of today's bond market
These bonds were up "a points
above their issue price on Thurs
day. The popularity of these bonds
was at once apparent when the
$4,000. 600 portion of a s5e.00o.eoe
loan was quickly subscribed for
and a substantial premium was Of
fered Immediately trading in them
began on both the New York stock
exchange and on the curb market.
With sterling exchange across the
SAC level this morning all the
United kingdom 51a per cent ex-
tefnal loans reached new highs.
So did the Denmark IS and the
Department OF the Seine Is. The
rest of the foreign group were in
demand around their top prices.
Liberty bonds kept strong and soon
after the opening the second Al S
per cent loan got to their highest
above 994e.
The strength in the greater New
York Traction bonds was we'll sus-
tanned, with new high prices again
for the Brooklyn Rapid Transit rs
and IS and fractional gains in most
OF the other traction issues. The
continued rise i'll the Brooklyn Rap
i'd Transit securities was due to the
remarkably good earning state
ments issued yesterday. Philippine
Railway Is, the Erie bonds, Nor
folk & Western IS and Southern
Railway As all went to fresh tops.
Chicago, Burlington e Quincy joint

Dor first As were also strong. The
majority of industrial bonds were
firm.
The successful sale of the $1,000
600 Province of Alberta So per

BUTTER PRICES GO
LOWER FOR WEEK

Chicago, April S.-The week end
ing today brought a continuation of
the weakness and declining prices
which were prevalent during the
previous week at the leading butter
markets of the country, according
to a review of the United States
bureau of markets. During the
week just closed New York was
weak, with the other markets fol,
lowing more in sympathy than any
thing else, but at all markets
stocks. especially of fancy butter,
were excessive, with buying sup
port so light that the tone of the
markets became demoralized and
prices dropped to new low levels
for the season. The real factor
causing the declines appears to
have been that there was no con-
fidence in the market rather than
that there was excessive quantities
on dealers floors.

cised against a president who was
in Office for six years if public
opinion changed he was asked.
THE people would have their
remedy in the election of a con-
gress. If one-third of the senate
and one-half of the house member
ship were up for reelection every
two years so that the whole house
would not change at once any more
than the senate does now, we would
be able to elect to Office the nom
inees of the political party oppos-
ed to the president, and this one
third and one-half. together with
the existing strength of the politi-
cal party in question. would be suf-
ficient to make a majority against
the president. This would be all
the restraint necessary. A presi-
dent can do very little harm with
an opposition congress to check
him."
Move Has Precedent.
AS to the suggestion of prolong-
ing Mr.. Harding's present term by
two years, there are presidents for
this in many of the state constitu-
tions. The terms of many exeCu-
tive officers have been changed
while the incumbents benefited by
the. amendments. 1t might of course
be opposed by the Democrats on
the ground that such a step would
not give them an opportunity to
put into office for those two years
a Democratic president and the
amendment might be fought on
partisan lines and thus defeated in
the state legislatures The chances
are that an amendment providing
that the term OF the president after
1924 shall be for two years and
that the succeeding candidate shall
be ineligible for reelection there
after would be much more favor
ably received, and that after 1926
the first six-year term for presi-
dent shall take effect with no re-
election thereafter.
The Democrats have gone on rec
ord in one national platform in
favor of a single term for presi-
dents. though they never specified
the number of years of the term.
The Republican statesmen in the
past have advocated the change.
But no American president has ever
while in Office become an active
champion of an amendment to
change the presidential tenul e..
Warren Harding may prove the ex-
ception.
