ty of the voters no chance remained to them

fore they preferred TO remain passive this year.
He said that the vote in Havana at the last
election totaIIed 90 900, with Dig Liberal ma
jorfty, while this years registration showed
vote OF $4,000. in which the followers OF the
Moderate. or Administration, party greatly pre-
dominated He said he had petitioned the
courts to Investigate cases OF alleged fraudulent
registration.
In response to inquiries with reference to the
withdrawal of the opposition. President Palma
said:
am anxious for the Moderate party to be
strong party and. of course. am ambitious for
it's predominance In Congress. as well as in the
executive branch of the government, but / snail
be truly disappointed If II ia true that the LIB
eral party has withdrawn from the campaign
because I believe that strong and live opposi-
ton party is necessary to the maintenance OF
healthy political condition.
President Palma said, however, that advices
received by the government from some sections
of the country indicated that the Liberals would
exercise the prerogative of voting. The Presi-
dent declined to answer the allegations of the
Liberals that the government had in any way
curtailed the electoral privilege merely remark
ing: You know it is untrue"
The attempt to call off the Liberal campaign
has resulted in considerable gossip to the erect
party will become SO strong as to involve prac-
