ELECTION IN THE
ISLAND Rel PUBL|C
OF CUBA TODAY
Regarded as Certain That
the Present Conservative
Government Will Be Re-
tanned in Power !.

Havana. Nov. 1.-The results of the
general election in Cuba today promise
to be most interesting, and while the
present Conservative government rs
expected to be sustained 1t is more
than probable that good many sur
prises are in store. The Conservative
party has the advantage that comes
of being in power. while the Liberal
opposition has waged the campaign
under the disadvantage of split ranks
and the further serious handicap of
being without funds.
A multitude of public officials to be
chosen, ranging from president and
vice president of the republic, down to
minor local officers. Ten parties have
their candidates on the ballot. which
is S6 inchesslong by 32 inches wide.
Generals Menocal and Nunez are
standing for reelection as president
and vice president, respectively. on the
Conservative ticket, with the indorse-
ment of several Of the minor parties.
The candidates opposed to them are
DR.. Alfredo zayas for president and
Colonel Carlos Mendieta tor vice pres
ident, nominated jointly by the Liber-
ais and Conjunction Patriptica. At the
present time, partly as a result of the
European war and in part as a re-
suit of measured fostered by the ad-
ministration, Cuba is in the enjoyment
of an era Of almost unprecedented
prosperity. As consequence 1t is re-
garded as a practical certainty that
President Menocal and the majority of
the candidates on the Conservative e
ticket will be reelected by substantial
majorities.

QUESTION
THE CHIEF ISSUE
IN Many STATES
Test of Prohibition Senti-
ment to Be Made on Elec-
tion Daylight Centers
on Michigan.

= Washington, Nov. 1.-The country
goes next Tuesday to the stiffest test
which has been made up to date be-
tween the liquor interests and the
anti saloon forces. AS a result Of the
balloting on that day half a dozen
states may be added to the dry col
umn. which will mean that the dawn
of the new year will find the saloons
ousted from more than half the COM
monwealths that make up the union.
OF the remaining states. those that
still may be classed as wet" large
dry" areas, in some cases amounting
to considerably more than half the
state, will exist as a result of the
county or local option laws.
The states in which the straightout
question of statewide prohibition is to
be decided Tuesday are all west OF the
Mississippi river, with the single ex-
ception of the state of Michigan. The
southern states will not figure in the
contests for the reason that virtually
all of the south has already barred the
saloons. The question Is a live issue
in some of the eastern states and is
expected to decide the fate of more
than one candidate for public office,
aitnOuBn tnS Ildln QucStiOu u StaeC-
wide prohibition will not be voted on.
HOT FIGHT IN MICHIGAN.
The main strength of the liquor in
terests and of the dry forces has been
brought to bear on Michigan, where
the question of statewide prohibition Is
to be submitted to the voters. Both
sides, of course, claim victory, but the
analytical the outcome of the referen-
dunn is in doubt. Detroit is the center
of the contest, both factions having i
headquarters in that city from which
the state has been covered with litera-
ture. In their state platforms neither
the Republicans nor the Democrats
made mention of the issue. A large
part of the state'i is already dry as re-
suit of local option.
California will vote on two amend
ments to the constitution, one provid-
ing for partial prohibition in 1913 end
the other for total prohibition in 1920.
Both measures have been put forward
and indorsed by the Prohibition forces.
Heretofore the vast wine producing in
terests of California have been the
chief stumbling block in the way OF
prohibition in that state. Now it is
claimed a satisfactory solution of this
problem has been found and that
