glneer Of the railroad running from

Of this part Of the project. gave a

too, would have to share In this isola-

turned o questioning look toward her.
and then reached over and patted her
hand In sympathy. The president was
steadily summing up the situation.
THE navy department will attend
to purchasing supplies. including ma
chinery and crude metals necessary
for the FIRST work. while DR.. Roberts
will place his orders for apparatus.
and all will be consigned to the collier
Penobscot. which will transport them

this Importance. Communication will
be maintained by such means as seem
best to Admiral Brockton, and more
men and supplies will be dispatched
from time to time as required. II Is
needless to say that the entire expert

The secretary Of the navy, obeying a
suggestion from the chair, read on q
long list Of figures. explaining them as
he went. and concluding with an unqual-
ified Endorsement of the plan. So In.
fectious was his blunt enthusiasm and
confidence. that those who at first had
hesitated at the irregularity OF the
procedure found themselves won over.
and bound with complete unanimity
into a coterie which was TO assume
responsibility for a war. And thus
was the issue accepted.

enought credit has yet been given for

the nomination of his brother on the

the conference. --
As a matter of course, the question
of the selection of a chairman for the
national committee will be the most
important thing to be taken under
consideration. Just at the present
time the choice seems to lie between
Frank H Hitchcock and Postmaster
General Meyer. Senator Crane has
positively refused to accept the place

During the day the name of Fred

toned to some of the members of

probably will be taken into consider
alton, however. at the Cincinnati con-
ference. II is believed that Capt. A.
j. Vorys and Harry New are not def
nitely under consideration at the
present time.
II Postmaster-General Meyer is
chosen as chairman, Charles G.
Dawes. of Chicago. will be made
treasurer and will have. in all proba-
bility, general supervision Of the
western headquarters. In that case
he will have the active assistance In
the work of raising funds OF Cor

urer of the national committee for SC

without question the most valuable

Should Mr.. Hitchcock be chosen
chairman, which is still a possibility,
1t is likely the treasurer will come
from the east.
Meyer Not Likely.
The first great thing to be settled
at the conference will be the general
policy OF the campaign. Mr.. Taft
has some strong views on this sub
ject, and he certainly will interjec'
his pronounced personality into the
campaign from the outside.

Some o them black, some o. them

| Long before the Christian faith
made way among the untutored peo-
pies of ancient Britain, the Druids
had performed special rites on what
is now known as Halloween, Hal
lowmas eve, or, as it is is sometimes
called. Nut Crack night. Fires were
| lighted deep in remote forests, upon
outlying spurs of hills, even upon
the great plains that stretched be-
tween dense forests and partially
cleared woodlands; mystic rites were
performed. the help of the true God
was implored and the Vaccinations
of the powers of evil protested
against. The earliest records bear
witness to a universal belief that on
this night the powers of darkness
muster in great force and that all
supernatural beings hold revel within
the sphere of humanity.
| When, later on, All-Hallow eve be-
came Christian observance. the old

did not pass into disuse; on the con-

BIG CUBAN ELECTION TO
BE HELD NEXT SATURDAY
American Troops Will Be withdrawn
January %, Ahead of the Time
Originally Set--Islanders
Enthused

HAVANA, Nov. S.-Next Saturday
elections will be held throughout the
island for president, vice president
senators and representatives in con-
gress, to whom, according to the pres
ent program, will be committed the
fate of the restored Cuban republic on
the date of withdrawal on January 28.
The American troops will be withdrawn
on that day, three days in advance of
the time originally set, in order that
their departure may mark the ami
versary of the birth Of Jose Marti, the
Cuban patriot.
Preparations for the election are COM
plete, and the whole island is absorbed
in the outcome of the struggle. The
conservatives are headed by Gen. Mario
Menocal, and DR.. Rafael Montero, as
presidential and vice presidential can
didates, while Gen. Jose NJ. Gomez and
his former bitter rival in the party
leadership, Alfredo Zayas, are the NOM
inees of the liberal party, the Miguel
ista and Zayasta factions. Both lead
ers have given absolute assurance that
they will accept loyalty the result of
the popular verdict.
There is practically no difference in
the platforms of the two parties, both
having as their chief planks the preser-
walton of the republic, equal rights for
all citizens, the encouragement of agri-
culture, commerce and the maintenance
of friendly relations with the United
States.
The struggle is frankly for the pos
session of the government and control
of public patronage.
