director Of the republican national
committee, gave first place as 1885
republican choice to Sen. william
e. Borah.
Close behind Borah was Col.
Frank E. Knox, Chicago newspap-
err publisher. Mr.. Hoover was in
sixth place, running behind Gov.
ALI Landon Of Kansas. Sen. Arthur
Vandenberg of Michigan, and for
mer Gov. Frank o. Lowden Of I'LL

Goodness For Hoover
In republican circles it was
pointed out that general uncer.
tainty over Mr.. Hoover's willing
ness to enter the 1886 campaign
as a candidate contributed to this
showing.
y However, it was not denied that,
while general republican accord
was found for Mr.. Hoover's views,
considerable GOODNESS to his candi-
dacy has been evident, especially in
congressional and senatorial circles
here.
Despite this feeling, It was said
that Mr.. Hoover's fighting state
ment placed him in the front line
of candidates. OF equal significance
was said to be the fact that forces
friendly to Mr.. Hoover will control
q generous bloc of votes in the
1896 republican convention.
Even in the event that Mr.
Hoover refuses to become a can.
didate himself prospect repeat
eddy emphasized by his closest
friends-he is expected to be in a
position to speak strongly In the
ANAL choice Of who shall carry the
standard against the New Deal.
Comment Reserved
Public comment on Mr.. Hoover's
statement and the Lucas poll was
reserved by the bulk Of republican
leaders.
Borah had nothing to say re-
garding his showing as high man
in the straw balloting.
| In connection with Mr.. Hoover's
remarks, 1t was pointed out here
that the former president had
merely given added emphasis to
the save the Constitution" issue
which has already been raised by
many voices in congress, including
Borah's.
No substantial difference In fun
damental position regarding the
constitution was seen between
Borah and Mr.. Hoover.
Rep. Allen T. Treadway, 3.
Mass, ranking member of the pow
erful house ways and means COM
mittee, said that Mr.. Hoover
statement was an excellent one
but that he could not see how that
would make him a presidential
candidate.
1--WE all. feel that way. Simply
because a man opposes the New
Deal, I don't see how he can DC
regarded as q presidential candi'
date. Half the people Of the nation
are opposed to the New DeaIs
policies" Treadway said.

only the most intrepid dare to at
slrrn that the elections will be held
on that date, and that further up
xisings or coups will not further
postpone a return date to normal
conditions.
Many of Machado's henchmen
lie IN Jail waiting for a new consti-
tutional government, elected by
the. people, to ratify the death SEN
tenee hanging over them. Others
are serving long prison terms, inn
posed by the revolutionary sane
tiofiB courts.
All Resist ExtraditiOn
Most of Machado's government
associates succeeded In fleeing
from Cubt when the dictator was
overthrown. Although continued
efforts to extradite many OF them
on scharges ranging from murder
to ihalfeasance in office have been
undertaken, not one has succeed
ed vet.
At the same time hundreds Of
prominent revo u tionists who
struggled against Machado are In
jail Other hundreds are in exile.
Many have been killed by the po-
lice and the army.
Today Col. Fulgencio Batista,
head OF the Cuban army, is the
real ruler in Cuba. Backed by his
force Of $4,000 officers and men,
the largest in Cuba's republican
history, he holds the balance Of
power.
He has succeeded in putting
down all militant opposition to his
rule. which Is carried on through
the government of Provisional
President Carlos Mendieta.
Batista crushed the revolution
ary general strike of last March
and since then bombing and many
other forms of terrorism and vio-
lepce virtually have ceased.

ban Youth movement, near Matan-
zas, and captured q group Of his
adherents in pitched battle. They
thus eliminated or severely weak
ened one of the strongest OF the
oppositionist camps.
The long revolt against Presi-
dent Machado and his despotic adj
ministration was to restore demo.
cratic government to Cuba.
At no time during the past two
years, however, has Cubt been free
from a military dictatorship. Con.
stitutional guarantees were sus-
pended for most of that period.
and although recently restored,
the armys sway still is felt.
Many among those opposing the
present Mendieta government In
sist that the Cuban people on
Aug. IL, 1898, unseated Machad0,
merely to have him replaced, less
than a month later, by Batista.
Batista President Maker.
Batista, heading the revolt OF
the sergeants," deposed DR.. Char
les Manuel de Cespedes who was
seated in the palace as provisional
president.
Batista first supported DR.. Ra-
mon Grau San Martin, the revolu.
tionary successor Of De Cespedes.
But four months later, after the
new American envoy, Jefferson
Caffery. had convinced Batista that
Grau would not be recognized by
the United States, and that such
non-recognition would spell eco
nomic ruin for Cuba, Batista forced
Grau to quit and agreed to back
Mendieta.
The Mendieta government was
recognized by Washington few
days after 1t was installed.
Although for IA months after
Mendieta's Inauguration, Cuba was
torn by bombings, assassinations,
strikes, political massacres and
cabinet crises, the government
staunchly supported by the army,
managed to weather the success
sion OF storms.
Many Benefits Accrue.
The benefits that have accrued
to Cuba from the United States
during the Mendieta regime, and
which are regarded by some as the
fruits of the revolution against
Machado, principally are:
Abrogation Of the Platt Amend
ment, through a special treaty
signed in May, 1884.
Signing of the reciprocity trade
agreement in September OF the
same year.
Granting Of sugar quotas for
export to the United States by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
under the provisions of the Costi-
gan-Jones law.
Extension Of credits to the Gu
ban government by the Second
Export and Import Bank Can Am
erican government institution) to
fiance the coming Of silver cur
rency.
Through the economic assis-
lance rendered Cuba through the
practical demonstration Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's good neighbor"
policy, business and economic con.
ditions started to show decided
improvement carry in 1895. The
Cuban budget. however, has been
increased with the cost Of running
the government, and particularly
maintaining large army, on the
rise, and no relief has yet been
extended to the holders of the
Public Works Bonds in default.
Most of the bond holders are
American citizens.

made by employees who wished TO
continue the task of cleaning and
oiling the machinery. Murray
Silverman, manager OF the factory
was among those who were re-

opened a temporary office at its
established restaurant nearby and

Work Of checking the indepen.

left till the last. However, an ON.
cial perusal Of the list Of names
shows only small number Of per.
sons whose names will go off. The
independent democrats filed almost

It was learned today that two
men whose names were on the In.
dependent democratic petition had
called at the town clerks ONCE to
have their signatures erased. Town
Clerk Egan was in doubt as to her
right to remove the names today
in view Of the fact that both men
admitted that they had signed tho
petition. They explained that the
situation had been misrepresented
to them when they signed and that
this was the reason they wanted
their names removed. An opinion
will be sought from the registrars
of voters and Corporation Counsel

names are removed, however. the
chances Of the independents being
on the voting machines will not be

Of Nazism and "complet.
ion Of the Nazi revolution" have
gained the upper hand for the
time being. They are inspiring the
waves Of suppression. Conserva-

These conclusions are based. in
part, upon detailed personal letters
appraising the situation just re-
ceived from four persons In Ger
many, two Germans and two fore.
igners all in excellent position to
observe.
The strength Of the extremists
has been increased by the growing
size and prestige of the army. AS
the army's power increases, the
reasons for the being of the Nazi

Many priests especially have re-

The majority OF the war veter.

resented the overbearing attitude
of storm troopers and their young
leaders. At first the Nazis tried to

Another said communists were

into power. and that this was an

extremists on the totality drives.
Finally, fourth informant said
there had been rivalry between
Gen. Goering, the conservative
leader and army leaders, for
months. Goering wanted to get
control. of the army as minister OF

leadership of the aviation depart
