Gomez. ‘The Umited States will be formally asked by representatives of the Cuban liberty party’ to make a definite de- cision in the “dispute” over the recent presidential election in that republic, according to Gen. Jose Gomez, un- sucressful candlidate of the party for the- presidency. This government will be asked, he saMd, to determine “whether or not the \Cuban eleotions were the result of imtimidation, fraud and violence, and whether thewcandidate who claims to be-elected has or has not the ma- jority-of the electoral votes.” Comments on Crowder. Referring to Gen. Crowder, who was sent by this government to supervise the elections, the Gome: statement said that he “began working with much kill on his arrival. but later he ap- pesred more inclined to save the ex- terior fomms of the electoral law dic- tated by him rather than to look to the reml heart of the question.” When his attention was called “to this faet,” the statement added, “he stated that his instructions were limited.” Gen. Gomez explained that he was in this country “for the purpose of getuling some persomal affairs in New York,” and while passtag through Washington “could mot fail” to viaft the agents of the gov- emmtest of Cuba in the election lately passed.’ t CU! even if it shoukl be against us, pro- vided it determines whether or not the Cuban clections were the Nfll! the majority of the electoral votes.™ * | PRESIDENT THANKS STREET CAR LINES *_AGREE TO MEETING FOR MERGER STEP trom Py \ Jrasidet of the compasy, e appeintment ol uch & as that suggested by Capt. na sald that the attitude of {or ‘was that |lican committes were 1‘“:‘n"l'mv"er f the two earnin; of ‘b. basis of & iotrwer o Feioms Elec: Tger o - °"‘.:5"m“‘: 1o Company ay ectric pany to advance or ?::r\l a he street car companies.

In spreading this gospel. the prosperity bureau and the industries represented in it have had the strong support of the President and pract 1y all of the nation’s foremost fina: ciers and manufacturers. The Presi- dent’s approval of the undertaking was conveyed some time ago in the follow- ing letter to the bLureau: “1 would like to add my own to the number of commendations that have been elicited by the national prosperity bureau campaign for nation-wide con- fidence and business activity. “Convinced as I am of the entire soundness of the nation’s economic and irdustrial fabric. I feel that every rea- soned effort to stimulate confidence and inspire the whole people with assur- ance concerning the immedlate future must be of advantage.” In order to reach every community in the country, the national prosperity bureau, through the manufacturers’ and retatlers’ national assoclations, sent out millions of pieces of litera- mn. from the smail sticket stamp to the twenty-four sheet biliboard. Support by Newspapers. in practically every newspaper in the country. expressions of optimism by the country’s leading minds and the advice of business men in all industries bearing on confidence in the country's business have been carried repeatedly during the campaign. “The restoration of a sounder basis in the big and little business of the Ufln; mmmwhlch is about to flow e now a3 froen G lareely 10 the enthusisstis support which this bumu bas hed from the newspapers Ameries,” stated James Rosthal, Mnour of the bureau, today.
