TO SEND 300 MEN
 TO PINE BLUFF
Jobbers Getting Strongly Behind the Little Rock Travelling Men to Bring Next Convention There.

Little Rock. Ark, May 27.-Three hundred live boosters with music, banners and badges, sent by special train. will be Little Rocks bid at the Pine Bluff convention for the 1910 meeting of the Arkansas Travellers. The jobbers, of the city are getting be- hind the movement nobly. o. D. Tucker of the Little Rock Tent and Awning Company, himself jobber, headed committee yesterday that visited practically every jobber in the city and with few exceptions got their promises to be present at the final meeting to be held in the Hotel Mar ion Saturday night, at which final arrangements will be made for the campaign at Pine Bluff
 Little Rock Wants You in 1910" will be the motto to greet the eyes of every traveller who visits Pine Bluff while the big annual convention is in session ne Xt month. 1t will be on the posters and on the noisy badges to be given out to the delegates and worn by every Little Rock booster there.
 T. A. Sims will head the delegation from here and see that no stone is left unturned to get the favor of the con- vention. He expects to get it easily. but the plans are being laid as, if it were a life-and-death fight.
 Special Train Thursday.
 The main body from Little Rock will leave Thursday at S:45 on the Iron Mountain. It is expected that special train will be necessary to ac- commodate the party On the train will be the Second Regiment band of 24 pieces. Not a few in the party will be jobbers.
 Some Reasons Why.
 The local travelling men advance some solid argument in favor of giv- ing this city the 1910 convention If the city gets the convention it will have been four years since the last one. That was in 1906. It brought LIDO travellers here who registered and mo- body knows how many who did not. That record has not been equaled by any convention since of the same or ganization. The season for it is the accessibility of this city from all points of the state In 1906 Little Rock had not half the hotel accommo- dations is now has, Then the old Capitol was the largest hotel in the city. Since then there have been built the Hotel Marion. which will have an annex by 1910 that will dou- ble it's capacity, the Mahoney and the Terminal hotels.
 Last Meeting Saturday.
 A strong effort is being made to have the meeting Saturday night at the Marion a fitting climax to the series for the working up of enthu- siasm. It is urged that not only Ar kansaw Travellers, but travelling men not members. jobbers, retailers any body interested, attend and get into the wagon

THE REPUBLIC OF CUBA
XIV--Political Parties tn Cuba
lh1ll BmIA 0IIl . N . lllN uIF uIlU . lzl,
By Frederic J. Haskin.

i. did. Ther Is no danger of a revolution from that quarter.
 But the Liberals are a different class of people. Even if Gomez and Zayas should succeed In parceIling out the "chevo" SO that the leaders would be Ratished. there Is yet room for trod&ie. The negroes must be satis- fled There is no doubt that they will be recognized by the appointment of negroes to high office, but even that may not suffice. They may demand a large proportion of the offices. which they will not get. They may demand that certain determinations which tend to keep them off the police forces and out of the rural guards. be remov. ed. 1T these demands are not obeyed. and if leader arises. and if some cor poration will put up a few sheckels. there will be another revolution. And then there will be another call upon the United States. another provisional What shall we do with CubaT'
 The Conservative Party, following the precedent of defeated parties in these attitudes, probably will be re- organised It will endeavor to hold the balance of power In Congress be- tween the two factions of the Liber- ais and. if Its leaders are skillful 1t may exercise great influence upon the course of government under the new administration.
 Just at present the treasury is empty and preparations are being made to float a loan of Si5,000,000 to meet necessary demands. A lean treas ury does not conduce to revolution. When General Guerra started his re- volt against Palma there was almost fl6.00O,O00 lying idle in the treasury and just burning to be spent The revolutionists hoped to have the re- | sponsibility of disbursing 1t. but the American provisional government sav- ed them the trouble. The Ameri- can administration spent the money upon much needed Improvements. and authorized the new loan which the Gomez administration can float with out asking Congress for permission.
 The Cuban wants an office. The merchants and business men are all | Spaniards or foreigners from other l countries. The one or two per cent of the Cuban population which is edu- cated looks only to official life for career. position in the civil ser vice or commission in the military establishment is the dream of every Cuban who can read and write. Polit. ical parties are looked upon merely as the necessary machinery for get ting Into office. There is no preten- sion to any other object of public ser- vice. The salary is the whole thing The newspapers are frank to the point of bluntness in discussing such things. Take up almost any Cuban newspaper and you will find somewhere on the front page In heavy headline type the word "chsvo." Politics and ,"chevo'' are inextrlcably mixed up fin this young republic. Political parties as they are known in the United States do not exist. They are simply ephem- eral organizations cemented by the monetary popularity of some particu- lar patriot whose promises appeal to the proletariat.
