CUBAN ELECTION QUIET.
NO SUCH DISORDER AS FEARED
MARKS VOTING.
Menocal for President and VarOna for
Vice President Seem to Have Won.

Habana, Nov. 1.-The election of
Gen. Mario Menocal and Enrique Jose
Varona, candidates for the presidency
and vice presidency of the republic
| on the Conservative ticket, and of all
the other candidates of the Conserya-
tives appears practically assured at
midnight.
Gen. Manuel Sanguilly secretary Of
State, on leaving the State department
late tonight, told the Associated Pres.
representative that while it would be
impossible fully to determine the re-
suit until tomorrow, the trend of the
balloting everywhere was strongly
favorable to the success of the Con-
servatives and the defeat of Algredo
Zayas, candidate OF the Liberals for
president, and the others on the Lib
eral ticket.
Advices received at Conservative
headquarters here indicate that Gen.
Menocal has a landslide in his favor.
carrying all six provinces of the is-
land.
In the city Of Habana Gen. Freyere
Andrade. Conservative was elected
mayor by a majority Of 5000.
Absolute order prevailed in all ports
OF Cuba today in the balloting for
president, vice president and other
offices.
The election was held under SUPER
vision Of specially detailed army Of
ficers commanding sufficient men to
compel maintenance Of order. Care
was taken to see that the soldiers and
rural guards remained at q respectful
distance from the polls. They pre-
vented more persons than could vote
simultaneously from passing their
lines and compelled all persons after
voting to leave the polls.
Patrols OF cavalry and infantry
constantly circulated In Habana to
prevent the gathering Of crowds but
their services were not needed while
the police did not make more than
the usual number Of arrests.
After the polls had closed enormous
crowds gathered before the various
political headquarters and cheered the
display Of bulletins. Cavalrymen rid
ing in pairs circled the outskirts Of
the crowds and did not have to inter-
fere, for the utmost cheerfulness and
good order prevailed.

Applications for the position OF
City Manager are coming in from all
sections OF the United States, and a
majority Of the applicants are engi-
neers and mfn who have had years OF
experience in municipal work as con-
tractors and supervising engineers.
The wisest provision of the Sumter
Plan OF commission government is
that allowing the City Manager to be
selected from any part OF the country.
BY having the whole United States to
select from it is possible to have a
wider choice and the chances are that
a more competent man will be secured
A competent man who has no local
atfptatiOns is more apt to make good
than local man who would be handi-
capped by the friendships and enmi-
ties he had accumulated during his
lifetime residence. 4 new man will
be judged by what he does as City
Manager and what he makes of the
job. while a local man would be judg-
ed. partly at least by what he had
done or failed to do in the past.

from the secretary Of the county
Democratic party and went over the
list of names carefully, making q new

making the comparison he found
some four hundred twenty names OIL
the club rolls Of persons Of age to
pay poll tax who were not on the tax

By his work the county gets this
much more money every year in taxes,

persons who have been dodging taxes

TIE Big Increase In Crops.
Albany Journal.

Albany Journal
On the known acreage OF potatoes
In the United States and the cond.
tion OF the crop reported for Septem-
Der 4. the estimate Is based that the
yield will be about 39s 10000 BUSH
els ~
That viii bo 10000. 900 bushels
more than last ycar's production Of
ss3.OO0.o00 bushels and $4,000. 900
bushels more than the harvest In
IsIv.
In other terms. the increase is the
equivalent OF more than one bushel
for every man. woman and child In
the United States.
IL n therefore a certainty that as
far az potatoes are concerned. the
cost OF living will be materially de-
creased. And everybody eats potatoes
And there will be about $4,000, 900
bushels wheat more than last year.
Consequently the supply OF hour will
be materially greater and lower prices
are to be expected.
And that is true likewise Of other
foodstufYs produced from the soil. OF
which there will be a greatly increased
supply when the harvests are In.
