CUBAN PRESIDENT COMING
General Menocal Will Visit u. s.
Before Inauguration.
[From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Nov. 7.-General Menocal.
President-elect Of Cuba, will visit the
United States prior TO his Inauguration
next May, according to announcements
made to-day by John Barrett, director
general Of the Pan-American Union, who
stated that the Pan-American Society of
the United States will probably give the
Cuban executive ELECT a dinner and recep-
ton in New York City.
In announcing the visit of General
Menocal, Director Barrett issued state
ment asking that square dear be ac-
corded 10 Cuba by the people OF the
United States.
"A week tomorrow will have passed
since the Cuban presidential election took
place, peacefully, In spite OF dire predic-
tons to the contrary from considerable
element of the press and publicists OF the
United States" declares Mr.. Barrett In
his statement, which continues In part
am impelled TO appeal TO the people
of tho United States TO give Cuba and
the Cubans a square deal. In the ex
element OF their own election they are
prone TO overlook the fact that Cuba
has successfully passed through a trying
ordeal and proved her right TO their con-
fidence and announcement. Let their
press and people consequently stop as
Stunning a patronizing air toward Cuba.
Let them forget the bogies of revolution
and Intervention, and show 10 Cuba
future efforts TO maintain peace and sta
bility.

FUTURE ROSY TO DIXON
will Capture Congress- He
Says-Talk of Straus for Mayor.

Senator Joseph NJ. Dixon, chairman ot
the national committee Of the Progressive
party, was bubbling over yesterday with
optinism for the future. Not only would
the fight 90 on. he declared, but he was
willing TO predict that two years hence
his PARTY would elect a majority of the
Congressman.
Two years from now he said, the
Progressive party will have representa-
tor on all election boards I'm every state
except Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, New York,
Connecticut Rhode Island and Massachu-
sets In all states except those named
the Republican organization under the law
becomes the third party.
1T is my belief that this year we have
elected as many members of Congress at
have the Republicans. For instance, in
PENNSYLVANIA the four Congressmen-at-
large nominated at the primaries in April,
" hne technically running as Republicans,
are every one pronounced ProgresSivcs.
The same is true IN North Dakota, Kan
sas and other states.
Francis w. Bird. chairman Of the Pro-
gressive County Committee, has called a
meeting of the executive committee for
O'Clock this afternoon Ii was stated that
plans for entering the municipal cam
paign the coming year would be dis
cussed. Cheered by the big vote they re-
ceived here, the ProgressiYes are saying
that there is no reason why they should
not have a good chance at the coming
city election.

goVerrorship canvass, would make an eX-
Cellent candidate for Mayor i.t.

ARTICLE, INCENSES BARNES
Chairman Points Out Objection
to Roosevelt Doctrine.

Z Chairman Barnes OF the Republican
State Committee was inGensed yesterday
when he read an article IN which the ar
gument was made that the fact that
Colonel Roosevelt got larger popular
vote than President Taft. in the election
showed clearly that he should have been
the nominee Of the Republican party.
There seems to be misapprehension,"
he said "of the meaning of the Chicago
convention. There was no issue between
Roosevelt and Taft. The only issue in
volved was whether the Republican party
was willing to take the Roosevelt doctrine
that this government should be trans
formed into a pure democracy, with power
on the part OF the people to do whatever
they pleased through legislative action,
or whether 1t would continue to be a gov
eminent OF constitutional limitations"
Chairman Barnes went on 10 declare
that the Republican party was now firmly
intrenched behind the idea that this gov
eminent should continue TO be what it
had been since its foundation.
at is almost beyond belief that this
differentiation between the Republican
party and Mr.. Roosevelt's ideas is not
thoroughly comprehended." continued the
state chairman. THE reason for II must
be that Mr.. Roosevelt Is not taken seri-
ously in his proposal. That he is serious
about 1t, and that thousands Of Ameri-
can citizens are serious about II. is un-
questioned. That 1t is not widely under
stood that the Progressive party proposes
a new form of government was lost sight
of by many because OF the unfortunate
habit Of mind which has grown UP In
America Of voting for individuals instead
of parties. Had the Republican party at
Chicago accepted Mr.. Roosevet's doc
trine then It would no longer be the Re-
publican party OF history. The Pro-
gressive party proposed that the people
should have the power to take away from
the individual his life. his liberty and his
right to own property, which they can
not do now finder the Constitution of the
UnitAd Statas."

on March 4, II was learned, the Presi-

II has been suggested TO the President
that he practise law in New York with
his brother, Henry w. Taft. and George
Wickersham, the present Attorney Cen
eral. forming the firm OF Taft, Wicker
sham & Taft. 1t is understood, however,
that the President prefers to return to
Cincinnati. As soon as his son. Robert
Taft, graduates from the Harvard Law
School he will become associated with his
father.

FEW CONGRESS CHANGES
Longworth Reported Defeated
in 1st Ohio District.

Late returns make only few changes
in the list OF Representatives elected as
already given In The Tribune.
One probable change Of special interest
at oyster Bay is in the LIST Congress Dis
trict OF Ohio, where Nicholas Longworth,
Theodore Roosevelt's son-in-law and a
Republican. is now unofiicially declared
defeated. His opponent is Stanley h.
Bowdle, Democrat Longworth does not
concede defeat, and the official count Will
be needed to settle the question.
Two other changes shown by the latest
figures are in Michigan. In the 30 Dis
trict there c. S. Carney Democrat. was
beaten by ]. NJ c. Smith, Republican.
This gain for the Republicans was Offset
by the returns in the I'd District, where
Samuel W. Beakes, Democrat, won over
William Weidmeyer, Republican, who
was thought elected on earlier returns.
Later reports from California changed
the Congress list by giving the I'd District
to John +. Raker. Democrat, by about
10000 over T. NJ Rutherford, his Repub-
lican opponent, who was first reported the
winner

TRUNK CASE HEARING
Theatrical People Protest
Against Size Restriction.

Washington, Nov. 7.-Praotically all the
large railroads In the country were repre-
sented at further hearing on trunk
problems before Examiner Marshall at

day
The case involves the proposed restric-
ton OF trunks to be handled by all rail-
roads to forty-fve inches In length, all
exceeding that standard to pay excess
baggage at the rate of ten pounds an
inch.
Clothing, theatrical and other interests
who claim It is necessary to have larger
trunks recently protested against the
regulation and the commission suspended
the restriction pending a hearing of both
sides. A decision will be given later.

The retirement Of Representative Lamb,

Mr.. Lever would be forced to give up the

tee. which would probably 90 to Repre-

This accounts for all the chairmanships
