ELECTION EVE IN HAVANA.
ALL INTEREST CENTRED IN THE MAYOR
Atty CONTEST.

Havana June 15-To-day. on the very eve of
the elections, the only feature of the struggle
in Havana which gives rise 10 the least interest
is the contest for the Mayoralty 1t is a foregone
conclusion that large majority Of the Municipal
Council viii be Nationalists. The political par
ties are much more concerned in the result as to
the Mayoralty To the group who pulling
the strings Of the National party the triumph of
Senior Estrada Mora would mean that the con-
troll Of municipal places and the sweets Of
office in general would be nearly all lost to them,
even though they should elect every Councilman.
The National party organs claim that all true
patriots will vote for General Alexandra Rod
riguez who is a true type OF the revolution"
Sehor Mora on the other hand declares that
the contest is a struggle between the sword
and the toga," he, Of course. representing the
toga He also denounces the Nationalist
merely a clique Of schemers. who have sue
ceeded in binding the mass Of the voters OF the
party with reference to their real aims by the
name of Maxine Gomez before the eyes of the
voters"
The Nationalist party some time ago published
q programme, but recently ii has not laid stress
on the points mentioned, its leaders combining
themselves TO claiming individual superiority in
Intelligence, honor and patriotism. Senior Mora,
who is running independent ticket says
he cannot promise anything definite he is n
able to claim that he will have the Council with
him or even the support of its Republican mem
beTs as he has made no compromise with them.
Nevertheless, he pledges an honest administra-
ton pointing out that If elected he will take Of
fee untrammeled, because he belongs TO no
political party.
