CUBAN ELECTIONS
WIRE RATHER QUIET
Moderates Had a Clear Field Through
the Withdrawal Of the Liberals as
Protest Against Government.

Havana, Dec. 2-The political agita-
tion which began six months ago with
the national convention OF the liberal
party and which has dwindled since the
withdrawal Of General Jose Miguel
Gomez, the presidential candidate named
by the convention, ended yesterday in
an election that was quiet and uninter-
esting. The vote cast was light, this
being due To the lack 81 interest in the
wholly one sided election and recent
heavy rains.
The withdrawal Of the liberals from
all nominations as protest against all
legged iniustiees By the government and
the people in conducting the primaries
left a clear field for the moderates and
every moderate nominee was elected
from President Palmer to the provincial
councillors.
The only liberals who win have seats
in the new congress, which opens in
April, win be the hold-overs from the
old congress, and consequently only a
third of the senate and a fifth OF the
house viii be composed Of members of
that party.
The senate will have IA moderates, one
liberal nationalist or Nunez follower
and nine liberals. Included with the lat
ter, howeyar, are fotn sO-called independ-
ents, who may Of may not vote with the
liberals The house win have = liberals
eight liberal nationalists, forty zone mod
crates and three independents Of mod
crate tendencies.
Governor Nunez Of Havana province
who, after he failed TO receive the liberal
nomination for the presidency, Joined
the forces Of the Palmer party in oust-
ing the liberals from the Havana city
and provincial Offices, was Of course, re
elected.
