snecial to the Leader.

Special to the Leader.
Philadelphia, Pa, June lS.-Ihe
Press prints the following from its
special correspondent:
One stride forward has been taken by
Cuban people in fixing the responsible
ity for the acceptance of the Platt
amendment. Before the municipal
elections were held it was not possible
definitely to fix the status of the poll
tical groups or organizations. Since
these contest have ended their stand
ing Is clear. The National party is
dominant. Though General ', ood Of
ficially cannot know any political par
ty, it is known that the National party
has the future of Cuba in it's hands,
When the Nationals elected DR.. &C.
ner Mayor of Havana, and carried two
thirds Of the Council, their suprem-
acy in the western end of the island
| was fixed. In Santiago, though they
; met with strong opposition, they also
| succeeded, and throughout the interior
u
| generally they were successful. Though
they were held together by rather
loose ties, just before the municipal
| elections number of the Independents
| openly affiliated with the regular Ma
tionals, identifying themselves with
the organization. These now share 1t;
triumphs.
NATIONALS IN CONTROLS.
AS party, the Nationals might no
have controlled the Constitutional Con
vention month ago, but that they nov
control it is beyond doubt. This is tn
responsibility which their leader
dread.
On the surface it might have SCENE
that the Nationals were irrevocabl
combined against agreeing to any forr
of relations with the United State:
In Havana their convention oppose
their movement, and in Santiago the
were violently against it, while the Re
publican party there favored its az
ceptance. But this was in appear@nc
I only DIR. Diego Tamayo, GoNernc
Nunez and Others of the National Ieat
ers openly opposed the National cal
didates in the local contests, but a.
knowledge no right to dictate .ho
they should vote in the Constitution;
Convention. No objection was mao
, to their position, which they still mail
tain,

MAYOR GENER A LEADER.

The greatest weight of responsibility
is now on Mayor Gener. AS the head
of the National party in Havana, with
a great deal of municipal patronage in
his control he can dc about as he
pleases. His course in voting against
the acceptance Gf the Platt amendment,
when he was we'll known to favor it,
was excused as one of the makeshifts
Of a candidate. Since he has been.
elected and is no longer subject to the,
popular whims or intrignes of his rad
ical associates, he can afford to throw.
his influence for conservative action
However, nothing positive is expected
from hlm. and the most that can be,
counted on is that he will act as d.
breakwater against the irreconcilables.
Mayer Gener is anything but a revolu--
tionist.
During the insurTection he upheld, in.
half-hearted way what was known.
as the plan of constitutional evolution.
This meant gradually getting out from
under the sovereignty of Spain, with.
the aid and support of the United.
States. He was supporter of lne
plan which contemplated Cuba buying
its independence under the guarantee
of the American nation. His whole
policy recognized the absolute depend
ence of the island upon the United
taf 10 'bnC Hn.ar
ion in regard to that relation, but his
lack of courage to avOw it and stand
by it is now his chief drawback. AS
Mayor of Havana, with the transition
in government proceeding smoothly
he will be in position TO make for him
self future as one of the Cuban 2ead-
ers; but with the transition no taking
place smoothly Mayor Gener is not
likely to gain prestige or influence.
His ability is not doubted, and he mas
in a reasonable degree the confidence of
the Spanish classes, many OF whom he
has represented in legal capacity, bat
his timidity makes his future course
uncertain.
Some of the leaders among the Ma
tional party are beginning to see that
the natural party of the opposition is
the Republican party, which is under
the leadership of Gualberto Gomez and
other irreeoncilables. Their program
is opposition, and in that they are not
unlike historical political opposition
in the United States. During the muni-
cipal campaign Gualberto Gomez an
nounced that he and his followers had
no positive policy; they simply op-
posed the existence of Nationals who |
were in office. In the same way they |
were ready to oppose the Platt amend
ment, by whatever party or parties it |
might be sustained. No political divi-
sion was possible in the vote of the
convention on that subject, but Gual-
bertc Gomez insisted that his party

WHEAT NEAR CHAPMAN,
Farmers Agrssably Surprised by the
Yield.

CHAPMAN, July 5.-The Advertiser
has been Investigating the wheat
yields and says: There has been an
agreeable surprise to the farmers this
season. Some fear was entertained
that the bugs and hail stones would
shorten the crop considerably and
that the yield would not equal last
years crop In this they were pleas
antly mistaken as the yield is the
best in years and and the quality
never was better. A field that turns
out less than 20 bushels to the acre is
rare thing indeed and as for testing
below 6Opounds that cannot be found.
Those who have threshed in the vi
cinity report yield Of from "a to So
bushels to the acre and the best is as
high as 6S pounds. The wheat still
In stacks and shocks will turn out
fully as we'll. This is indeed bless
ing considering the gloomly outlook
for corn and all kinds Of feed. The
following are few Of the yields we
have heard reported:
John lsler had 70 acres that went
about % bushels and tested So pounds.
Armol1 & Scanlan threshed 40
acre field on their farm that went S4s
bushels per acre at the elevator and
tested 6S. This is probably as fine
wheat as was raised in the vicinity.
P. McCormally had 70 acres that
went over, 20 bushels.
One hundred acres on the Bowling
farm turned out 5000 bushels.
Mr.. Dslton's wheat on the Kinney
farm, south Of the bridge, went %
bushels.
Forty acres on I. V. Howe's farm
yielded nearly 1900 bushels.
A. B. Byrne had an excellent crop
Of fine wheat going nearly 80 bushels
to the acre.
These are picked at random and
threshing has inst begun.

For the benefit Of those who do not
understand how the drawing for lands

Wichita reservations will be conduct
ed, the following is offered;
The drawing will begin on July 20,
at Ell Reno and ElReno only. While
applicants may register at Lawton,
there will be no drawing there. The
drawing will proceed rapidly when
begun and will be completed in very
few days. Some seem to think that
only 1926 names will be drawn each
day. There Is no such provision in
the procl l,mation. The force at work
may draw 5000 names day, II they
can, or 10000, The morning after
the drawing the Ell Reno land office
will give out long list OF names in
the numerical order in which they
have been drawn.
On August the first l25 men will
appear at Ell Reno and No. will pre-
sent himself at the United States land
Office and file on the land he wants

chance, but because be was No. ) be

at that time be has lost forever BIZ
chance to file. The same arrange
ment has been made for the Lawtor
land Office, which allows $50 In all tc

Anyone eligible to take homestead
may register at El Reno or Lawtor
up to July 26 at no cost except %
cents notary fee. This gives chance
in the drawing.

SENATOR BURTON SAYS He
WOULD BE NOMINATED.
But Things Nay Change IN Three
Years Whom Availability Win Cut
Figure in the Selection Of . Candi'
date for President.

III the convention were held this
year Roosevelt would he the presiden-
tisl nominee Of the Republican party
by acclamation."
This was the declaration Of Senator
Burton at Kansas City Saturday.
"Three years is too long ahead for
predictions to have any weight" be
continued. ''But my judgment Is
that Roosevelt would have less oppo-
sition than be had for vice president
II the convention we're held this year.
Things may change materially in
three years; new conditions and issues
may arise; availability is powerful
factor in the choice Of presidential
candidates after all. 1t is the glory
and the pride Of the Republican partv
that 1t has good timber in all sections
Of the country and no man has TO be
nominated because he comes from
this or that state.
"Colonel Roosevelt's strongest Gle
ments ARE bis ability and integrity.
These are qualities which will be
as strong three years hence as they
are now. But you can't figure three
years ahead. There are plenty to
choose from. Indiana may have .
strong claim. l do not regard Bever-
idge seriously now, chiefly for the
reason that Fairbanks, who Is strong
man, has the inside and will have the
Hoosier delegation in 1904 II Is a.
ready promised to him"
Senator Burton declined to talk
Kansas politics. He said be came to
town on private business and incl
IDENTIFY met Pete Foley, the new post
master Of Parsons, B. H. Tracy, the
new attorney general, and ]. B. Case,
Of Abilene. They all declared that
Abilene was very dry--as to crops:
The senator jokingly referred to >
remark attributed to him recently TO
the effect that the American people
never elected presidents who we're
abroad. l,sft .
"It was originally made In . jccular
way" said the senator, ''but has been
twisted. said that the American
people never elected presidents who
visited Europe. Most Of the early
presidents were diplomats. They
we're sent to Europe. They were not
globe trotters. But submit that
even II l was correctly quoted, in
in view Of the fact that Buchanan was
!, the last diplomat elected president,
the statute Of limitations runs and q
new deal Is on. Once we elected our
presidents because they had been to
the court Of st. James; then because
they had been secretary Of the treas
ury, Now w elect them because
. well, it's hard to tell why one two o.
them have been elected. The Repub
, lican party always has good rsssor
for elscting presidents, however, an'
we elect them because they are ampl,
qualified for the place, as to honest,
and intelligence"
