The negroes appear to have been, reused to rebellion by the denial of what seems to them their just political rewards for services rem dered in the war of independence, in which they constituted a great major ity of the Cuban forces.
 The feeling against the government has been intensified by a law denying the negroes the right to organize a political party.

 Sweep Predicted For Today

Columbus, O., May 2O-Ohio tonight rested from the strain of the last two weeks campaign, during which four presidential candidates traversed the state from one end to the other and is ready for tomorrow's primaries. The second to the last state to hold presi- dential preference primaries, and the home of two of the candidates, Ohio, is considered the cruX of an unusual political situation.
 Activity in the Ohio campaign is said to be without precedent in the present political contest It was in this state that Colonel Roosevelt first pre- sented the platform upon which he is passing his fight.
 President Taft and his former friend, the eX-president, have crossed and re- crossed each others trails in their travels about the state.
 Woodrow Wilson, Governor Har- mons only opponent, did not enter the state. lannon's worst antagonist has been William Jennings Bryan. who, speaking for the Ohio progressive democratic league has berated the gov ernOr and urged Wilson's nomination in several campaign tours.
 Senator Robert M. La Toilette after opening the fight in the state return ed last Friday night and made three speeches in support of his cause. Gov ernOr Harmon limited his campaign ing in his home state to five night ad- dresses which were given over to an- swering Mir. Bryan.
 Supporters of all fractions in the five cornered contest are expecting a large primary vote. Because of the complicated ballots, returns are not expected until late. The polls will be open from 5.30 in the morning until the same hour in the evening.
 Louis C. Laylin, Taft's Ohio man ager, was confident tonight on the eve of the primaries, that the president will not be rejected by his own state
 Tt is a Taft victory and it's all over but the shouting" he said. "Ohio looks better for Taft tonight than it did IS hours ago, and it looked mighty good then. within the last six hours there has been remark able change in sentiment for the presi- dent among the farmers"
 Chairman Walter F. Brown, of the Republican state central committee who has managed Roosevelt's cam paign in this state, left his headquar- ters this afternoon without making any final predictions as to tomorrow's out come. The Ohio Roosevelt committee however, said:
 Assured that delegates pledged tc Theodore Roosevelt will be elected ir substantial majority of the 21 con- gross districts, we continue to expect a practical complete sweep of the dis tricts by Roosevelt"
