Washington, Dec. 5.—‘“No armor plate factory, no money for battle- ships!” This is the slogan of a half dozen members of the Senate, headed by Senator Ashurst of Arizona ip a fight which is going to be made dur- ing the present session for govern- ment manufacture of armor plate. They will endeavor to balk all bat- tleship appropriations unless the ap- propriation for an armor plate es- tablishment is allowed. Senator Thomas of Colorado is one of the leaders aligned with Senator As- hurst. Secretary of the Navy Dan- iels is for the government armor plate factory, though he has not thus far made it a condition prec- edent to battleship appropriations. “The movement for a government armor plate factory is fast gaining ground,” says Senator Ashurst. “At least a half dozen senators will take the position that unless the govern- ment maked its own armor plate there shall be no money allowed for new battleships. We are spending too much money in preparation for war, and the cost could be greatly reduced if the government made its own armor plate.” NEW YORK REPUB- LICANS MEET New York, Dec. 5.-—Repuhlican State committee men, chairmen of county committees, members of the Legislature and others, meet here this afternoon at the Waldorf As- ‘toria to discuss the welfare of the Iparty in the Empire State.

The differ- ent materials have been ordered and actual work has already commenced. It is hoped and expected that instal- lation will be ready for current not later than Jan. 1. “The new booklet has been re- ceived and is being highly commend- ed.

The secretary would call attention to the spleudid work of the commsttees, especially one on the financial end of the mat- ter, who report $775.50 collected to date. This is one of the biggest and best stunts the board and the town together have pulled off for Lake- land, who now has some literature the whole State is proud of. ‘“Work has commenced and is pro- gressing on Hillsboro county line road. ““A representative of the Manufac- turers’ Record, who called on us this week stated that Lakeland was doing. more in the'way of improvements than any city of its size ipn the South. ‘“Homeseekers and winter visitors are coming in thick and fast. The new hotel has opened up and is do- ing splendid business, the other ho- tels also doing their share. “Good Roads Day was well ob- served, over 150 men turning out, and some good and needed work done on streets leading into city. “The new freight depot and trans- fer sheds are well in course of con- struction. The merchants are urged to come to the meeting tonight, looking to some possible action regarcing the inducement offered to our people to trade out of town. Lakeland mer- chants can certainly do something to offset this inducement to people to carry their money out of town for supplies they can and ought to buy at home. dLet's talk it over and thep do something. Tampa is making great plans for a big celebration shortly. Every mem- ber of this board ought to be taking a strong personal interest in Lake- land’s celebration for Jan. 1.
