COALITION CANDIDATE
MAKES CLEAN SWEEP
IN CUBAN ELECTIONS
(By Associated Press)

HAVANA. March 16-Dr Alfredo
Zayas Alfonso, former vice president
and candidate Of the Conservative
Popular coalition National League
party, made practically a clean sweep
of the partial elections held yesterday
in several hundred precincts of various
provinces in Cuba.
Unofficial and incomplete figures
given out by the department of COM
munications at one o'clock this rorn-
ing show that in the four provinces
outside of Havana where elections
were held the Liberal party obeyed the
order of its executive committee to
remain away from the polls, only A
voting. A total of 12,419 votes was
cast for DR.. Zayas. this demonstrating
the extent to which the Liberal party's
withdrawal resolution was obeyed at
least insofar as Gen. Gomez. the presi-
Dental candidate, was concerned. II
is probable much greater number OF
Liberal votes were cast for provincial
or municipal candidates. -
Although the Liberals carried Ha-
vana province in the regular Novem-
ber elections and partial elections are
set for Oriente province on March 26
yesterdays election was considered
final as regards the presidency.
Take Precautions
Every possible precaution was taken
| to remove all possibility of violence
or intimidation on the part of the
police or. military and to guarantee to
every voter the right to freely cast
his ballot, it was declared by persons
| intimately familiar with the steps
taken in this direction since the ar
rival here of General Crowder as spe-
! cial representative of the American
government. Men of the highest
standing. including judges from the
bench were sent by the central elect
oral board into every precinct several
days before the date set for holding
the elections
General Crowder personally made a
tour of inspection last week into sew
eral provinces and was reported to
have personally investigated several
minor clashes between the opposing
! parties. including the killing OF the
police chief and his assistant at the
| town of Colon. He visited several
polling places at points near Havana
yesterday. ---
! Reports received at the various gov.
ernmental departments and by the
central electoral board state there
were no serious clashes anywhere
during the day.

Indian war-whoops and the smooth
strains of operatic singing was bridg-
ed recently when Chief Caupolican. a

father and the musical appreciation
Of his French mother have been blend
ed into an operatic baritone Of rare
richness. The Indian chieftain is
said to be the first of his race ever
to have reached this vocal develop

Chief Caupolican's grandfather was
the chief conductor of the jangling or
chestra of primeval Indian instru-

mountains. At that time. according to
custom, his son-Caupolican's father
was adopted by French family Of i'm
migrants, and was taught the ways
and customs Of the white man. When
he grew up he fell in love with the
daughter of the French family, and
they were married, the Indian solemn

tribe mourned and would not be COM

father, promised to come and be their
chief and leader. Finally reversing
his promise to his French wife, he
consented.
The mother. however, took the little
son, Caupolican, back to southern
France, where his vocal ability was
developed, and later he visited his
fathers tribesmen in Chile. He after.
