Havana, Aug. 21.-Gen. Maxine Co
mez publishes a letter in La Lucha re-
garding the election OF delegates to the
forthcoming constitutional convention.
which he asks all the papers OF the
island TO print. Gen. Gomez says in
part:
ideas must not be confronted with
principles. Honor demands that prin-
ciples should be saved even at the cost
OF life. Tho convention should consist
OF genuine revolutionists and it will
so consist, unless the people flattered
by fine words. allow what they have
conquered TO be taken away from them.
Nobody should be allowed to enter the
convention who formerly DETAINED the
revolution. unless Cubans wish to out
rage honor and sacred duty.
"The enemy is working hard. but
let Cubans remember that those who
opposed the revolution cannot be ac-
cepted at the last moment. Many rich
and intellectual persons have shown
opposition to the revolution. All these
should be left out. Patriotism has the
right to chose the most wOrthy-not
the most wise-until the republic Is
established"

HOWARD NJ. WILLIAMSON WEEPS
In His CELL in ATLANTA JAIL
Htpcr Wishes He We're in Utah As He Lays the Fatter-
Ing InctiOn to His Soul That Both Sisters
Could be Happy With Him There

Spain was defeated on land and se..,
and driven from the western world,
and today Cuba is free, and will be
soon Independent and self-governing.
We denounce the Democratic cry Of
Imperialism as false and without
foundation. The overthrow Of Spanish
arms and authrlty were necessary re-
suits OF q righteous and victorious war.
This country cannot surrender or re-
treat by giving the Philippine Islands
back to Spain, handing them over TO
some other power, or turning them
adrift. The present task of subduing
rebellion and establishing order must
be completed. Time, experience and
intimate Acquaintance can alone mark
out our future duty. and in this con-
nection we especially commend the
following declarations Of the national
Republican platform. The largest
measure Of self-government, consistent
with their (the inhabitants Of the Phil
ippine lslands) welfare and our duties,
shall be secured TO them by law. To
Cuba independence and self-govern-
ment were assured IN the same voice
by which war was declared. and 20 the
letter this pledge snail be performed.
We remind the people OF this state
that the Democratic party to-day re-
afiirms and endorses the Chicago plat
form. This platform not only demands
the free and unlimited coinage OF sill
YER at l6 10 l, but pledges the Demo-
cratic party to free trade. TO an income
tax, to opposition TO the national bank
ing system, and to assaults on the Su-
preme Court
The recently amended constitutions
of the Democratic states OF Mississippi,
Louisiana, South Carolina and North
Carolina deny the electoral franchise
to illterate black. but not to iliterate
white citizens. We denounce this as
a crime against free government and
call for a proportionate diminution OF
the representatives OF these states in
Congress under the provision Of the
Constitution.
In these states we find the Demo-
cratic party, for the purposes OF politi-
cal advantage, denying the principle OF
the Declaration OF Independence as Ia
the consent cf the governed, while In
the same breath 10 invoges this princi-
pie on behalf Of the F'ilipinos, the vast
majority Of whom ere illiterates. and
who are In open rebellion against the
establishment Of law and order.
We denounce and condemn all com
binations and mOnopolies whose object
It is TO stiile fair competition, and TO
unjustly enhance prices at the expense
OF the consumer.
We demand legislation looking TO a
complete and comprehensive system OF
auditing the amounts OF all state. coun-
ty and hundred officials, to the wise
and systematic improvement Of the
public highways, and to identical
methods OF conducting elections in all
OF the counties.
We favor all just and honorable
measures looking to the adjustment OF
differences among Republicans Of Del
aware, and in earnest OF this we rec
ommend that the nominations Of this

COMEDIES GOVERNOR TO NEW

1t was the sense OF the caucus that
the delegates stand by the New Castle
county's nominee for governor, pro-
vided the delegates from this county
are unanimous in their nomination.
Sussex county's nominee for Congress
also will be endorsed. 1t is probable
that DR.. George w. Marshall will get
this nomination.
The one Office that the caucus laid
claim upon was that OF lieutenant

most prominent candidate. He will be
endorsed by the Kent countians.

There developed some opposition to
the candidacy OF Walter o. Hoffecker
for the short term congressional nomi-
nation, members Of the caucus declar-
ing that they could not support him.
No formal protestatiOn was made.
however, as Kent county will not be
called upon to select this nominee.
It was the opinion OF individual
members Of the caucus that the nomi-
nees for the short and long term con-
gressional honors should be the same
man.
George Massey Jones was appointed
a committee Of one to wait on the Sus-
sex county deleation to ascertain the
position Of that caucus on the congress
sional and gubernatorial nominees and
reported that the caucus had discussed
the gubernatorial contest alone and
that it was favorable to New Castles
nominee.

Ros ROY MACeREeoR
Clan Gordon Meets With Great Sue
cess In It's Presentation.

Rob Roy Mace regor, az presented
at the opera house last evening, was a
decided success. Clan Gordon, under
whose auspices it was produced, should
feel highly gratiied at the enthusiast
tic manner in which 1t was received.
The house Of Osbaldistone, through
the unfaithfulness of RlshleiAh Os.
maidstone, nephew Of the head Of the
house, becomes bankrupt, at which
time Francis Osbaldistone, a cousin Of
Rashleigh and: a son Of the head Of the
house, endeavors to retrieve the fallen
fortunes Of his father. In bis en-.
deavor he meets with many vicissi-
tudes and also meets Rob. RJy Mac
Gregor, a notorious outlaw.
Rashleigh Osbaldistone, who has
been a companion of Rob Roy, turns
traitor to him and Rob Roy is taken
captive. Helen, wife Of Mace regor.
leads a gathering Of the clan Of Mac
Gregor and q battle ensues between
the clan and the soldiers, the clan be-
Ing victorious.
MacGregor regains his freedom and
in the last act meets the tra,torous
Rashleigh In a duel with b%roadswords
in which Rashleigh is SLAIN.
Through the timely aid Of RIB Roy
the fortunes Of the house Of Osbaldi-
stone were retrieved.
All the parts were well sustained,
the solos, DUETS and choruses leaving
nothing to be desired and were freely
encored, as was also the dancing Of
the Highland Reel.
T he costumes were very fine and
added much to the entertainment.
All who did not see the play last
evening will surely want to see it this
evening else they will miss a rare
treat.
1t is considered by everyone who
attended to be the best entertainment
by local talent ever given in the city.
Every person who took part deserves
the highest praise and it is unfortu-
nate that a lack of space absolutely
forbids a more detailed account OF the
part taken by each one, as they de-
serve. ..v4
