Returns from the primary election of
Tuesday came slipping through slowly, and
on their face indicate that the choice be-
tween Aldrich and Cady is very close. while
Dahlman has very likely beaten Shallen-
berger by a safe majority. In 506 precincts
reported and tabulated, up to 10 O'Clock
Wednesday night, Cady has a lead of 1853
over Aldrich, this including a majority OF
2,643 for Cady in Douglas county, and AID
richs lead of 664 in Lancaster. The trend
of the returns from the country precincts
has all been in favor of Aldrich, and IL
maintained, will nominate him. But the
Cady supporters are still hopeful, and 90
not concede his defeat.
In the same precincts Dahlman has a lead
of 4619 over Shallenberger. 1t does not
appear at all likely that Shallenberger can
overcome this.
Returns from the primary come with more
than usual delays. The late hour for clos
ing the polls, the cumbersome form of the
ballot and the storm that interrupted the
wire service, all combined to hold back
the news.

To a RefOrmer reporter he gave
some delightful experiences and has
promised later to give an extended
opinion on Cuba and her people The
following, however, will be of inter
est:
VIII Cuba ever become a part of
the United States, if so would it not
be best for all concerned? To this
be replied l do not think it best for
Cuba to become part of the United
States, especially for the colored
people. The Cubans themselves do
not desire it, they are capable of self
government, they believe in liberty,
they would not tolerate for a moment
the humiliation and restrictions as are
placed around the American Negro.
Their spirit of independence Snd
their love of liberty is something to
be admired. l do not know whether
Cuba will ever be annexed, but | sim
cerely hope not.
In speaking of the president of the
Cuban Senate DR.. Shepard gave out
the following:
As you doubtless know the presi-
dent of the Cuban Senate is Senator
NJ. MOrua Delgado, a colored Gu
ban. He is a man of striking per-
sonality when you meet him yon~are
at once impressed with his earnest
ness and loyalty of purpose. He is
a man of fifty years and is a scholar
being conversant with three langu-
ages, French, English and Spanish.
To him more than to any other
man President Gomez is indebted for
his election. For Senator Delgado is
really the leader of the Liberal party
which is now in control of affairs Oh
the Island.
Senator Delgado's secret of sue
cess can be traced to his interest in
the common people. In fact he sub
jugates personal ambition for the
good of his people and Cuba.
He believes that he cannot keep
one without keeping the other. In
his family life he is the ideal husband
and father, No leader has the conf
dence of the masses of the Cuban
people as Senator Delgado. Later on
I shall speak of him in an article and
what he has accomplished for Cuba.
What about the Plaza Hotel incl
dent; do not care to discuss it Sim
ply to say the newspaper accounts
greatly exaggerated it. There is no
prejudice in Cuba saved that carried
by Americans.-Ext from interview

(FroD' Havana, Cuba, Lucha.)
Stopping at the Manhattan Hotel
is a distinguished party of colored
men, recent arrivals from the States
who have come to Cuba on a COM
bined business and pleasure trip.
Mainly they have come here to study
the condition of the colored people
in Cuba, with a view of extending
the excellent system of education
they represent in the States.
A representative of The Lucha
called on the party yesterday after
noon and found them to be of the
high class of men who are not only
an honor to their race, but to all
Americans, for they typify the adj
vance spirit which is destinedSto do
such great good in harmonizing the
interests of the two races. Their
method is educational, along prac-
tical lines. One of the first ques-
tons asked by the party was whether
it was possible to induce the colored
people of Havana to move into the
country and take up the cultivation
of the soil. This seemed to be the
problem they wished solved. They
stated that if such an end could be
accomplished it would repay 4them
for years of work.
They also wish to instill into the
people the desire to save at least a
portion of their earnings and one of
the results of their visit to Cuba
may be the organization of an indus
trial insurance and saving institu-
ton, on the order of the North Car
olina Mutual Provident Association

world, now ten years old, and doing
a fourishing business. Prominent
men of their state endorse this inSti-

IST GENERAL CONFERENCE.
There is great activity among the
leaders and thinking men of the A
NJ. E. Zion Church with regard TO
the choice of the men for the new
general officers to be elected by the
coming General Conference of that
church which meets in Charlotte, n.
c., in 1912. A strong opposition to
the selection of general officers of
the church for bishops, is widely de-
veloping, first because these men
seize the opportunity which extensive
travel gives them to further their
candidacy at the expense of the gen
eral church, and secondly, because
because their elections to this high
Office in that way weakens the pull
pit by being an inducement to the
most effective preachers to seek gen
eral Offices with a view of promotion
to the episcopal office, There is now
a growing tendency to select men for
bishop from the pulpit, and if this is
done,the strongest preachers will seek
pulpit as their primary field of work,
thus greatly Strengthening the
churches by bringing into them the
very best talent in the Christian
ministry.
There is a wide spread sentiment
in favor of Rev. S. L. Corrothers, D.
D., of this city and Rev. DR.. w. L.
Lee, of Pittsburg, Pa, for bishops.
Both stand in the front rank of great
preachers in their church and their
ability is conceded by all denomina-
tionS.
It is generally conceded in Zion
Church that DR.. Corrothers will be
elected to that Office when the Con-
ference meets. He is not only man
of national reputation, but is one of
the most farseeing and best fnancierS
in his church. Not only the church
but all of the institutions of the
church need such men on the board
of bishops. His following is as wide
as the borders of Zion. DR.. NJ. V.
