CLAIM FRAUDULENT VOTING
IN BILLINGS COUNTY

Beach, n. D., Nov. 1O.-Charges
that gross frauds entered into the
Billings county election, resulting in
the turnover by which an independent
senator, r. ]. List, APPARENTLY has been
defeated by Gus Wog, Nonpartisan,
were made today by independents who
suspect that white sample ballots were
substituted for the Official ballots.
In several precincts, according to
information which has, been received
in Beach, a tremendous vote, far great
er than the average, has been reported.
Several hundred ballots idcntically
marked, and said to be sample ballots
substituted for the regular official bal
lot, are beng Investigated, with the ex-
pectation that believed to have been
used.
A warning was sent all over the
state just prior to the election against
the possible use of white ballots, for it
was discovered that the leaguers in
several districts had supplied them
selves with sample ballots printed on
white paper, the same as the official
ballot.
The tremendous increase in the Bill
lings county vote has created a SEN
sation in this region, accompanied as
it was by the turning over of the state
senatorship.

CUBA MAY HOLD SUGAR

Embargo on Expectations

Havana, Cuba, Nov. 22.-President
Menocal has virtually decided to issue
a decree placing an embargo on the
expectation of all sugar held over from
last years crop, according to informa.
tion from q reliable source.
This step, 1t was said. Is due to the
demoralized condition Of the world =
sugar market and the claim Of Cuban
sugar producers that they cannot pro-
duce sugar at present prices and would
be . temporary measure taken pending
action BY Congress to authorize the gov
eminent to contract loans for handling
Of the 1820-21 crop.
Action by the government would not
cease there, It was declared, but would
take further share In the formation of
a national board to act as sales
medium for the disposal of the crop.
Many planters and mill men assert
that there will be no sugar from the new
crop during December. as grinding will
not begin before January, owing to
present low prices.
