Provisions of Law. “Among other provisions of law,” says the etatement, “section 19 of the penal code makes it an offense against the United States for two or more persons to conspire to intimidate any citizen in the free exercise or enjoy- ment of any right or privilege secured to him by the constitution, and the laws of the United States, or to pun- ish him for having exercised such rights, and the courts have held that one of the rights so secured is the right to vote for federal officers and to have votes fairly counted and the result correctly rsturned.

Menocal, conservative candidate, or Dr. Alfredo Zayas, the Liberal nominee, has triumphed. The latest returns from Wednes- day’s election, still incomplete in each province, give the Liberals a major= ity in the provinces of Havana, Ca- maguey and Matanzas. The conser= vatives lead in Pinar del Rio and San- ta Clara, but the result in Oriente, which has become the pivotal prov- ince, is undecided. Should the final returns give each party the electoral votes from the provinces in which they now lead, it would be necessary - for either to carry Oriente in order to- win. On the face of the scattering returns received the Liberals have a’ - majority in this eastern province, but the conservatives claim that complete returns will swing the province im their favor. Figures on the result of the com~ gressional elections still were unavail- able tonight and the complexion of the next Cuban congress continued to be in doubt. : 5] ADAMSON BILL IS A DISGRACE TO THE NATION 1 | Statement Made by President Taft at Rutland, Vt. 6 Rutland, Vt., Nov: 3—Speaking at & political meeting here tonight, For: mer President Taft referred to the foreign policies of the administration and said: “We will stand behind the president when he makes an assertion of our rights, but to refrain from proper erit- icism of a public official is to surrem- der the foreign policy 3 Taking up the Adamson eight hour bil] Mr. Taft said: £ “I don’t care what the merits of the . case were.
