CUBAN ELECTION IS QUIET
PRIMARIES CONDUCTED WITH.
OUT BLOODsHED.
Palma's Selection to Again Fill High
Office Is Assured = Sweeping
Victory Predicted.

4 Havana, Sept. 26-Cuba has held her
first election, the moderates have won
victory and the fears which have
been expressed for several weeks that
the day would be fraught with great
disorder were not realized, though they
seemed justified on the occurrence at
Cienfuegos of the ARRAY in which Rep
resentative Villuendas, Chief of Police
Illance and four others were killed.
The result Of the primaries is that
President Palma seems certain of re-
election on December l.
The ARRAY, resulting in the death of
Villuendas, one Of the most popular
Cubans, instead Of being the signal
for general riots throughout the island,
suddenly to realization that they
were playing with fire, though the
prompt dispatching of strong forces of
artillery and rurales and a general dis
play of government strength at danger
points may be greatly responsible fol-
the order maintained.
There is every indication that Senol
Palma's forces have scored a sweeping
victory, which the liberals, now that
the fights are over, seem to be taking
philosophically. Their leaders, how
ever, are marshaling their forces il
the hope of being able to turn the It'd
aay, as p6Ge ana baa hu ssleBst2RBsd Liz
prevented them, but this appears t,
be unfounded. In Havana, at least
they appear to have been beaten fair
ly. Serious trouble in the immediat
future is doubtful, but If dynamit
plots are laid for the primaries Their
is reason to fear the result of Decem
ber's final presidential elections.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 26. = Presi-
dent Roosevelt will complete his sum-
mer sojourn at Sycamore Hill and re-
turn to Washington next Saturday.
The president, Mrs. Roosevelt and
members of their family, Secretary and
Mrs. Loeb and the members of the

will go by boat from Long Island City
to Jersey City and thence via the Penn
sylvania railroad to Washington, reach
ing the capital shortly after six o'clock.
Working on Message.
The president is devoting consider
able time each day now to work on his
annual message to congress. For some
time he has been assembling data for
the message, but since the adjourn
F BefeHft of IL the psaGg g. cQnferspee he has
pleted until some time early in No

cabinet will have to supply the ma

department. This information will be
contained in the annual reports of the
cabinet officers, which have not been
completed.
Important Questions.
Three topics, highly important at
this time to the American people, will
be discussed by the president in his
message They are the federal regu-
lation and supervision of life insur-
ance, the relations between this coun-
try and Venezuela and Americas
interest in the fiscal affairs of the gov
eminent of Santo Domingo Other i'm
portant subjects naturally will be con-

disclosed in the departments of agri-
culture and the interior; the work of
the department of justice in the beef
trust cases; the regulation of railroad
freight rates; the progress made in the
construction of the Panama canal, and
the conclusion of peace between Russia
and Japan. Much of the material for
the discussion of these subjects Presi-
dent Roosevelt now has in hand, and
the last days of his stay at Sycamore
Hill are being devoted to the prepare

Washington, Sept. 27.-The weather
bureau in its weekly bulletin sum-
marizes crop conditions as follows:
The temperature during the week
ending September % was favorable

everywhere above the normal. Rains

the Mississippi and upper Mississippi

the south Atlantic and gulf states is

Atlantic states.
Except in limited portions of the
Missouri valley, corn has experienced
week of conditions highly favorable
for maturing the crop, from Is to 80
per cent. of which is now safe from
frost; the remainder will require only
about a week of favorable weather.
IN Nebraska considerable corn has
been blown down by high winds, but
this will only make harvesting more
difficult, without reducing the yield.
Some corn in shock in Missouri and
Kansas has been damaged by moisture.

week.
The thrashing of spring wheat in
the Dakotas and Minnesota was inter
Tupted by rains during the first half
OF the week, but shock thrashing and
stacking are not yet finished. In the
Dakotas the yield and quality are
variable. and generally disappointing.
Some injury to housed tobacco by

tons of the middle Atlantic states and
New England, but elsewhere the re-
ports respecting this crop are favor

The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1905-11-13

The remarks of Senator Warner at
the banquet at Kansas City will be
read with interest. The senator puts
himself squarely in line with the
Roosevelt policies. He declares his
belief in the theory that the Interstate
Commerce commission should be Civ.
on such power as to prevent unfair
freight rates; that the small shipper
ought not to be sacrificed in the inter
ests of the big shipper; that he is not
inseparably welded to any tariff
schedule. Senator Warmers speech
has the color and flavor of Democracy,
and necessarily so, since to stand with
Roosevelt, a Republican member Of
congress must needs plant one foot
sqdarely on Democratic ground and
drag the other foot over more than
half way 1t will be encouraging to
all to learn that the junior senator will
be on the side opposed to the railroad
coterie, the special-privilege cabal, of
the United States senate. When Sen
ator Warner started for Washington
shortly after his election, on the same
train with a delegation of the Kansas
City Commercial club, whose mission
at the national capital was to protest
against the Presidents rate measure,
it was supposed 10 mean that the SEN
ator was a standpatter like the rest Of
The party. AS far as we know the SEN
ator has never attempted to dispel that
supposition until wednesday night.
But now that he has gone on record
1T viii be hoped by all that he will
stick TO his colors Senator Warner
will have to be a good deal OF a Demo
e-at ii he IS to champion the reforms
that the people are demanding but the
more of a Democrat he is the better
will he be able to serve the interests
of the majority.
