Genera Jose Miguel Coma the liberal candi date for President of Cuba, Is believed to have been elected to that ' office yewterday. tieneral Gomez is S3 years of ge and a native of Santa Clara province, where he has always enjoyed extra ordinary popularity and Influence. He participated In two (treat revolutions, in the first of which lie reached the rank of Major, r.nd in the second that of Major-General. He was one of the commissioners sent to Washington to advise as to a practical method of dis solving the revolutionary Army. Blames United States. In May. 39"o. the General was nom inated for the Presidency by the Na-tional-Uberal convention, hut resigned his candidacy four months later, giv ing as the reason that it was impossible to continue the campaign within the hounds of the law. and laying part of the blame on the United States, owing to the Piatt amendment. An uprising in Cuba followed, which ended with the deposition of President Palma and the intervention of the United States. General Gomez was arrested in August. I!, charged with conspiring against the administration of the late President Pal ma. but he denied the allegation and was released from custody after a month's Im prisonment. In Ieoember of the same year. Governor Magoon appointed him secretary of a commission to revise the law s of Cuba. tteneral Gomez was nominated unani mously for the presidency by the Miguei i.ta convention held last March at Ha vana. The other faction of the Liberal party, the Zayistas. nominated Alfredo Zayas but later Senor Zayas resigned and the two factions formed a coalition, choosing General Gomez as the presiden tial nominee and Scnor Zayaa for the vice-presidency. An investigation of the shooting last night at Cienfucgos of Kdward Prleto, a Liberal, by Gonzalo Vieta. a Con servative, and at one time Mayor of Cienfuegos. indicates that the affair Is without political significance. There Is evidence that Prieto insulted Vieta and artacked hlin with a knife, whereupon Vieta fired In self-defense. One po liceman was seriously injured while at tempting to separate the two men.

Tonight the streets were thronged with rejoicing Liberal crowds.

Knives and pistols were drawn and several shots were tired, some of them breaking the windows of the cafe and causing a panic among those seated within. Lieutenajit Mi-Reynolds, of the Marine Corps, ran out of the cafe and inter posed hlmserf between the combatanta. He made a speech in Spanish and suc eded in inducing them to stop fighting. The shooting, however, attracted a great crowd and the .situation eventually be coming threatening Major Pbltm. Super visor of Police, summoned the reserves and cleared the square.

Several commu nications were read today at the open ing of the UKor Federation Conven tion. Including one from H-nry K. Hil secretary and treasurer of the Newark. N. J., Trades- Council, asking for the re-election of President Samuel Gompers. The reports of the officers were not ready, and the committee on resolutions made a partial report. Resolution No. 3. in regard- to Asiatic exclusion, was amended in the committee by the inser tion of the word "coolie." This amend ment was not satisfactory to the com mittee, several of whom contended that the same resolution had been adopted by four conventions of the Federation and should not come before this convention. Vice-President James Duncan said that the resolution as it stood would not in clude the Hindus. The resolution was re ferred back to tl:e committee to amend the resolution, it being suggested that the committee insert the words "races native to Asia." A number of resolutions were reported favorably by the committee and adopted by the convention. Resolutions on the following subjects were adopted by the convention: Protesting against sending bookbind ing work out of this country, as has ben done by some public libraries.

STATE NOW IN BAD LIGHT JLesiiature Two-thirds Republican. People tiave Taft Majority, but Democrat Must Be Sent to Senate. NEW YORK. Nov. 15. Senator Chauncey M. Depew delivered a warm eulogy of organization politics at a din ner to the Republican leaders and workers of the 27th Assembly District tonight. After extolling the work of the party workers and leaders of dis trict organizations, he said: "We can be proud of the long line of Presidents. Vice-Presidents. Governors and Legislators who have been the pro duct of the, machine. There never has been a bad Governor of New York and several of them have been great. Now we are told, however, that the organiza tion must go. The new idea, whatever that may be.is to govern in the future. Xeu Idea Defeated Fulton. "The new idea has captured Oregon. It is the first state where it has had an opportunity to work. Under it t.iere was a primary ballot for United States Senator. Oregon is a Republican etate. "The Democrats, believing it would help them to defeat Senator Fulton, who is one of the strongest and ablest men in the state, overwhelmed Fulton by voting for his opponent and nominating him. "When under the system the nominee of the Republican and the nominee of the Democratic parties came up in the gen eral election the sentiment created by the fraudulent Democratic assistance to the successful Republican candidate led to reprisals which gave the Democratic nominee a majority. The 'Legislature which is to elect a United States Senator is two-thirds Republican. The state has given an enormous majority for tart. Must Elect Democrat. "Under the instruction contained in the primary law, this Republican Legislature, though they knew how the result was brought about, under the letter of the law. must send for six years to Wash ington a Democrat to fight the Adminis tration for which their state so over whelmingly voted and the policies in which they all believe. If they fail to send this Senator to fight President Taft and his Administration they violate the pledges they made to support the primary law. This is the first Illustration wo have of the practical workings of the new idea." TAFT'S ACTS ARE JUST Clears Up Matter of Friars' Land lioldings. ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 15.

Judge Taft says that the present Gov ernor is a Roman Catholic, but he is one of the most careful men in maintain ing an Impartial attitude between Cath olics and Protestants.
