the conservative party polled the
largest vote, but the liberals, in
those contests, were split into two
factions. These factions are now
united under Gomez's leadership,
and are making a determined effort
to secure control of the native gov
eminent that will be in charge of
the island when the Americans
withdraw next January.
General Menocal has the respect
Of all classes of Cubans. He is a
Cornell graduate. He was one Of
the younger generals in the last
revolution against Spain, and
served with distinction. For several
years he had been manager of a
sugar plantation, the largest in the
world, controlled by the American
sugar trust. The position Is one
that requires in the man who fills
it a high degree of diplomacy and
business capacity. The diplomacy
is called for in handling nearly
10000 people of tropical tempera-
ment that form the population of
the plantation. General Menocal is
said to have both a salary and a
financial interest in the plantation

! that t3gether yield him an income
of over $4,000 a year. The prop
erty and business interests of the
island are united in his support.
General Gomez is an intense
patriot a fire eater and has large
popular following. Revolutionists
of the professional order swear by
him and the great bulk of his sup.
porters come from the ranks of
plantation workers. These form the
greater part of the islands popu-
lation.
Gomez was the liberal candidate
for president against Palma two
years ago and was beaten. He
charged, with what was generally
regarded good reason, that he had
been cheated out of the election.
To square the account he organized
the revolution that led to the down
fall OF Palma and the occupation of
the island by the Americans. After
the American Intervention Gomez
declared that he was the rightful
president, that he would again be a
candidate and that if he was not
elected he would fight. The patriots
in the back country responded by
the thousand to his call to arms
against Palma, and so it may be
that Menocal, in the event of his
election, will find him troublesome
Americans and others having
business interests here do not be-
lieve that the Cubans will succeed
in self government. They feel that
it is only a matter of time until
Uncle Sam will have to step in and
take control. Such a day would be
welcomed by large section of the
American army of occupation as
giving them opportunity to wipe
out the accumulated scores of the
last two years. 1t was the desire of

Nelson CALAMITY offered to assist
her and started down First avenue
with her hanging to his arm. They
had gone a couple of blocks when
she announced she felt better and
strong enough to continue without
assistance.
Two minutes later Nelson felt an
aching void near his heart. 1t was
his inside vest pocket where had
reposed wallet containing 1910.
The wallet was missing and Nelson
reported to the police that he be-
lieved the colored woman was an
impostor and had picked his

The police were forced to smile
as they took the woman's descrip-
ton and began searching for her.

But it seems that at least one of

The thought that is uppermost
In the minds of members of the

Numbered in his famous speech
at Akron, Ohio, in 1905. 1t is stated
that Taft will not vote for fNe re

In his Akron speech Taft said
that If he could be present in this

against Cox and his gang. This
speech was made in public. He
has never retracted his sentiments
either in public or in private.

gruntled member Of the gang, who
expected to figure prominently or

hibited to him, and he found to his
sorrow and chagrin that he had
been relegated to the scrap pile.

FIND A JOKER

Lumbermen of Tacoma have
discovered clause in the inter-
state commerce commission
amended decision of September 2
on the rate case which they say
will be ruinous to their single
business in parts Of Montana,
Idaho and Utah, if the railroads
take advantage of it. This clause
allows the railroads to put 10
cent differential on shingles, on
cedar lumber and on long tim
bers to that territory, higher
rate than was ever allowed, and
cents higher than the railroads
attempted to put into effect, and
against which the lumbermen ap-
pealed.
The shipments of shingles and
lumber from Puget Sound to
Butte, Missoula and Helena, the
three largest cities in the district
most vitality affected by this rul-
ing, are large, and 10-cent ad-
vance in rates would be of great
harm. 1t would necessitate such
an increased price Of products
shipped to that country that the
Sound lumbermen would be un-
able to compete with the mills Of
that territory.
There is a possibility that the
clause may be the result of a
clerical error and lumbermen are
investigating.

 He retired to his room at an early hour last night. and when his brother, Lawrence Gardner. opened the store, on College Street. about o'clock this morning he found 6 note from Major Gardner, stating that he had decided to end his troubles, and so to a land where sorrow is unknown.
 When the purport of the note dawned on Mir. Gardner, he hastened to Mir. Irion's home. and. upon ascending to his brothers room. found h.m a corpse. An empty morphine bottle near the bed told plainly the means he had used to end his life. Ill-health Is assigned as the cause of the deed.
 Major Gardner was member Of . family prominent in local business and political circles. He was a native of this county. having been born in the Caledonia neighborhood about thirty three years ago. He was a son of J. W. Gardner. who served several terms as County Treasurer. and brother-in- law of J. L. Williams, the present Tax Assessor.
