With tha ap proach of the election to be held by the Cuban government, without Amer in nncTvininn there has been Der reptlble a growing; report that what re mains of the eampalirntns; and the elec toral struggle llself may be passed without aerioua aisoraers. The flrat Cuban election, ttiat of 1904. at Which President KstraUa Pal ma waa elected for a second term, waa conced ed I y carried by fraud. This fact led directly to the revolu tion of AufTirt. ios. the overthrow of the Palma administration and the sec ond American intervention, which con tinned under the Governor-Generalship of Charles E. MaKoon until Gen eral Gomes, who had been elected at an election held in 1S0S. under the direct supervision of Colonel Crowder and other American officers of Gov ernor llajroon'e Cabinet, waa lnanirn rated rn January in. 10S. That elec tion waa conducted without hitch and without fraud. Cornea Administration on Trial. It now remains to be seen whether the administration of President Gomes Is competent to sruarantee the people, of Cuba unimpeachable elections. One thins; that seems to make for peace la the apparent determination of the Conservatives not to attempt to put out their full strength at an election at which only one-half of the members of the lower bouse and municipal offi cers are choeen. but to make a deter mined fight for victory at the Presi dential elections to be held In 1911. Five Parties In Hold. Most of the candidates for the various offlies have now been nominated and In Havana alone there are no lesa than five parties In the field. These are the Liberals. Historic Liberal party (Miguellstsl. the Independent Liberal party (headed by General Nunez), the M'orktnftmen'a party and the party of Young Cuba. There la also a possibility of the resurrection of the Independent party of Color, the formation of which was declared to be lllvgal under a law passed last Summer, which denied reo ounltlon to all political parties organ ized along racial lines. Party of Color Appeals to Court. Ex-Senator Bravo Oorreoso, of Orients, has been enraged by mem bers of the Party of Color to bring aa action In the Supreme Court to teat the constitutionality of this law. A. report recently Issued by General Armando Rlvae. Chief of Police of Havana, shows a deplorable condition In the capital. So great has bean the Increase of Idleness and mendicancy since the establishment of the nation al lottery, that General Rrvaa declare that some steps must be taken to cor rect the evil.

Kart Is a fine swim mer and In the water he held up the men until life preservers came his way. He gave these to the two and then swam around and found two other men who were exhausted and sinking. These he held up until they were picked up by a boat. Still regardless of his own safety he did not attempt to get aboard for fear of overloading the boat. Nobody seems to have seen him afterwards. The account of his bravery was given by his shipmates. All day today police boats dotted the river above West One Hundred and Klfty-seventh street, their crews grap pling for bodies. Their efforts were In vain: not one body was recovered. Old rlvermen said they were not sur prised, for when the accident occurred they declared, the tide was running out like a mlllrace. It will probably be several days before any more bodies are found. Crowds Gather on Shore. Along the waterfront In the vicinity of the accident crowds gathered today, rushing hither and thither, seeking In formation. Many women were among them, anxiety depicted on their faces. They were looking for news of rela tives and friends who bad shore leave and should have reported back on the New Hampshire yesterday evening. The midshipmen on the landing float were courteous In answering questions, but when It came to the point of glv. Ing information, they referred them to the officer of the 4eck on the New Hampshire. On board the Louisiana. Admiral Vreeland convened a court of Inquiry to determine the exact cause of the accident and place the respon sibility. A nnmber of the men who were on board the ill-fated boat told their stories. A report of the findings of the court will be forwarded to the Navy Department. Whether Midship man Chevalier, who was In charge of the barge, testified was not learned. Neither could It be ascertained whether Chevalier waa in the shlp'a hospital, where ha was taken In a delirious condition after the accident. Cause Xot Vet Known. Various versions of how the accident occurred were In circulation today. The generally accepted one, however, was that the barge, heavily loaded with sail ors and marines, returning from shore leave, was towed fnto the heavy swells of a passing steamer. Rising for a moment like a cork, the barge then plunged Into the trough between two waves, one of which broke over the side and swamped It. Instantly the choppy water became dotted with struggling, shouting men. Intermingled with floating packages, suitcases and personal belongings. The whistle of the little steam launch that was towing the barge rent the air with sharp calls for assistance. Few Boats In Vicinity. Few boats were in the vicinity, how ever, for the river was running high In whltecaps, kicked up by the strong wind. What few there were put quick ly across the 200 yards that separated the craft and the shore. Many of the marines were put aboard these boats; many others held tightly to the swamped barge. Still others, unequal to the battle with the heavy tide, disappeared. DEPUTIES SEEK OUTLAW Delts Soon Expected to Ron Line to Seo Wounded Daughter. WINTER, Wis.. Oct. J. "Tell them I'm going In," said John F. Dcitz. whose two sons and a daughter were wounded yes terday by a sheriff's posse while com ing to Winter. Delta, who was standing at the door of his cabin, wss asked when he intended to come to the village. "When I get ready," waa hia only answer. The 3S armed men who are patrolling the village believe that Deitz sJll be 'ready" some lime before morning, as It Is thought he will try to see his daugh ter Myra, who is seriously wounded and who will be moved to a hospital at Hay ward tomorrow morning. Miss Delts is In a serious condition, being shot through the abdomen, but Is expected to live, unless -complications set in. If Delts does come to Winter, trouble is expected, as the deputies say they will "get him." AVIATOR'S FIANCE SUICIDE Grief of Sweetheart of Polllot, Kill ed Recently, Uncontrollable. PARIS. Oct. i.

NOMINEES MAY WIN NOW Regular Republicans Would Have Been Easier of Defeat at No vember Election Is Opinion of High Official. OHEOO!AS NEWS BUREAU. Wash Ington, Oct. 2. "I do not profess to be particularly keen at the game of politics," said a member of the Cabinet who has srjent consiaerame lime in travel during the nast Summer, "but It limbi to me as though the Demo. crats In the West made a grevlous mis take when they went into Republican primaries and voted for Insurgent can didates. In my humble Judgment, the Democrats would have been far wiser had' they cast their votes for regular candidates, and Insured their nomina tion. I think regular Republicans, nom inated In this manner In states where Insurgent sentiment is strong, would be much more readily defeated In the November election than will the in surgents who were nominated In many Instances by the aid of Democratic votes." Jfew System Needed. This Cabinet officer, like others who have watched the working of the prl mary nominating system In many Btates. holds the opinion that some means should be devised to prevent Democrats voting at the Republican primary and vice versa. He points out that In many states that have the prl mary the Democrats, being in the mi nority, have entered but one candi date for the Important offices, thus leaving Democratic voters at liberty to go Into the Republican primaries and actually dictate the nominee. This was done In Washington, he said; It is responsible for the defeat of Repre sentative Tawney In Minnesota, and accounts for the apparent tremendous strength of the Insurgents all through the Weat. But this same man ventures the further prediction that Insurgent nominees will not get as heavy a vote In November as they received In the primaries, because then the Democrats will get back into their own party and support their own candidates. Insurgents Seem Sure to Win. Continuing his comment on the poli tics of this abuse of the primary privi lege, he said: "It seems to be the prevailing opin ion In the West that insurgent Repub licans nominated at the recent prima ries will be elected In November, al most without exception. This is at tributed to two causes; first, the In surgents won out In states that are normally Republican, and secondly, the nominees will receive the support of most of the regulars In their districts. There will be little bolting In Novem ber in the West. 'On the other hand. If the Democrats had gone into the Republican prima ries and voted .for regular candidates, and forced their nomination, the nom inees in a great many districts unques tionably would be defeated, and for these reasons: Feeling has been run ning high among insurgents in many of the Western States; there has been a keen animosity shown toward Re publicans of the regular persuasion, and I am thoroughly satisfied that had regulars been nominated where insurg ents were actually named at the pri maries, many Insurgent voters would have bolted; they would have re mained away from the polls or sup- portea uemocrauc nominees. 'But the Democrats did not seem to appreciate this; they were bent on nominating Insurgents, for what rea son I will not undertake to explain. But it certainly looks to me as though they had overlooked one splendid opportu nity to make gains In the House of Representatives." LOSS IS ROOSEVELT'S LUCK (Continued From First Page. ) His only essay Into politics prior to being chairman of the atate committee, selected by Murphy, was when he was a candidate for Lieutenant-Governor two years ago when Hughes and his associates won decisively. Dlx Is So Campaigner. Dlx is no campaigner. He cannot make a speech. In 1908 he read from manuscripts and made a bad Impres sion. Stlmson is a good talker. Roose velt, realizing the political future de pends on victory, will stump the state. He plans a long tour which Is not yet outlined. Democrats admit the Republican ticket la the strongest that could be named. Stlmson made a reputation as prosecutor of the sugar trust and other monopolies and with Roosevelt on the stump, stirring up things, the chances for success are fair. Roosevelt has made the issues of the campaign clear cut. They are: The Republican party of the state was controlled by rascals; we've thrown them out. Stlmson Is the Republican candidate, a man who haa secured the conviction of crooks In high places. He will keep up the good work. The Democratic convention is con trolled absolutely by Murphy. Dlx is an unknown, but the creature of Tammany Hall. Campaign Is on Murphy. Roosevelt plans a campaign directed against Murphy. He will stump the state and "roast" Murphy, declaring he's worse than any Republican boss. Roosevelt Is Jubilant over the out look and Is convinced that Stlmson will win in a walk. ' "We've punished the crooks, but Tammany's behind them," is to be the keynote of the Colonel's speeches. Roosevelt is to force the direct prim ary fight, despite a flabby plank plat form. He will lay stress on the fact that the bill was defeated this Spring by a combination of the minority Re publicans and Democrats. He asserts the Republicans favor primary reform while the Democrats prove the hypocrites, despite their plat form, as shown by the action of the party representatives at Albany. Independent Democrats admit their ticket Is weak. Sulzer, the defeated gubernatorial candidate, the only Inde pendent Tammany Congressman. Is bit ter and may bolt. Friends of Con gressman Havens who .defeated Aid rich are not working for the ticket. Up-state men are dissatisfied over too much Murphy.

Dear Sirs After taklna: the Renal Compound for Bright's Disease for two years, I write ror information. When I began It I was in Los Angeles. Five- leading phyelcians there treated me and each stated that I was beyond medical aid and told my sister that I would live but a short time. She sug gested bringing me home, which they objected to. stating she could never get me home alive. However, we-started. Having heard of the compound we pur chased two bottles before starting and began taking it and I am still alive. I could write you a very interesting let ter if desired. When test waa made In California the doctors said thev "found everything in It and the worst case tney haa naa. Two weeks ago I had it tested and found nothing. The doctor said It was normal. But what I wish to know is why I have to continue taking It. I have tried doing without It for a week several dif ferent times and my kidneys would be gin to give me trouble and the elimina tions would become scant so that I am really afraid to be without It, hence have the druggiet order It before I get out of it I have taken at least eighteen bottles failed to keep count of the first few. for I had no faith In It what ever and didn't expect to take more than a bottle when I began. 1 can certainly talk for your Renal Compound. Please reply, lours very truly, MRS. PEARL DAVIS. We stated in reply that in chronlo and extreme cases like the above that It often takes nearer fifty than twenty bottles of Fulton's Renal Compound to control, hence do we say over and over, patience is required. If this patient had stayed In Cali fornia and adhered to the treatment of her five physicians ehe would now be under the sod, according to her own statements. That . she has recovered should interest every physician and Bright's Disease patient. We desire to hear from and advise with every case not yielding. Chronic kidney disease is now curable in a majority of cases and every book that declares otherwise Is out of date. It Is distressing to think of the patients in the hospitals and homes slowly dying from chronic kid ney disease and without hope when it to a solemn fact that a majority of them should and can recover. , In heaven's name why don't friends and relatives of these patients stir them selves. when the editor ran for Governor. Dlx Is a large employer of labor, but the charge is that he has had many troubles with them. The Federation of Labor may take a stand against him. The Republican warfare seemingly has ceased. Taft at the Republican Club last night greeted Stlmson warmly, told him he'd win, and congratulated him on his nomination. This demonstrates to the politicians that the President regards the nominee s victory Is ra vindication for the National Adminis tration policies. Barnes in an editorial in an Albany paper be owns declares the will of the majority must rule, and pledges Stlm son support. Others of the old guard are expected to fall Into line. Harmony is due partially to the fact that there has been no active Repub lican candidate for Governor. The- old guard spent its energies in its effort to defeat Roosevelt. Taft did not in dorse any candidate. Stlmson, being a friend of Taft, gives the opposition no chance to bolt. If elected, all hands believe he'll give a fair deal to everybody. Dlx, on the other hand, is purely Murphy's candidate. Democratic suc cess means Tammany's control of Al bany for the first time In 30 years. Up-state men resent it and prefer to defeat the advancement of Murphy. The balance of the Democratic ticket Is of Tammany henchmen, partioularly Bensel, state engineer, who would con trol fat contracts In the state canal. Turning down Sulzer injures the Democratic prospects, as Sulzer Is strong with the working men and has been Indorsed for bills he introduced In Congress. It is the belief that Sulzer will accept the Hearst nomination for Governor on the Independence League ticket to split the Democratlo vote. Hearst's first choice for the supreme Court is Justice James Gerard, but Sulzer is also strong with the editor. This League convention Is called ror New York City Wednesday next. Sulzer Is to be named if he will accept. Luke O'Reilly. Hearst's political manager, acting under the cable ad vices of Hearst, has offered Sulzer the nomination, but the latter is still un decided. Murphy, hoping to hold Sulzer n line, offers a renominatlon to con gress In a sure Democratlo district. Sulzer Is sore on his treatment at Rochester but bis friends have advised against independent action that may cause his political annihilation. if Sulzer spurns Hearst, the editor him self may run. Experience proves that Hearst has a great following DUi can not throw his strength to another. Republicans now declare tney win control the Legislature and elect the successor to Senator Depew. They re gard tha state ticket as close, while a week ago they admitted the fight was hopeless. Your Glasses Are Crooked Let us straighten them for you.
