THE CUBA REVIEW 



Declarations of intentions 

 The with regard to the succes- 



P residential sion to the presidency were 



Succession made simultaneously on 

 January 4th by various po- 

 litical leaders. 



Alfredo Zayas, vice-president of the re- 

 pubHc, announces his candidacy for the 

 presidency, Major-General Pino Guerra 

 and his brother, Colonel Ramon Guerra, 

 pledging themselves to give him their ut- 

 most support. 



General Loynaz del Castillo, who is now 

 minister to Mexico, announces the candi- 

 dacy of General Eusebio Hernandez for 

 president and his own candidacy for vice- 

 president. Hernandez is the leader of the 

 Miguelistas and former head of the Cuban 

 Democratic Party. 



General Loynaz del Castillo declares that 

 any attempt on the part of President Go- 

 mez to secure a renomination would be the 

 instant signal for a civil war. 



Despite General Gomez's reiterated dec- 

 laration that he will not stand for re-elec- 

 tion, it is said that Miguelista clubs all over 

 the island are adopting resolutions in favor 

 of his renomination. 



At a political meeting, held December 

 21st in Havana, Sehor Ferrara, speaker of 

 the house, announced tliat President Gomez 

 would soon issue a manifesto to the people, 

 announcing his intention to refuse a re- 

 nomination to the presidency. 



Vice-President Zayas deprecates so early 

 an agitation, but says he is unable to re- 

 strain his friends. He does not specify 

 the second member of his ticket. He will 

 start a newspaper to advance his inter- 

 ests, it is said. 



Meanwhile the administration organs 

 are filled with arguments favoring the re- 

 election of Gomez, and the Miguelistas 

 throughout the island are adopting resolu- 

 tions declaring in favor of Gomez. 



It has been definitely arranged that the 

 second reunion of Cuba's Medical Congress 

 will be held in the city of Havana on Feb- 

 ruary 24th, 25th, 27th and 28th. The pur- 

 pose of the congress is to stimulate per- 

 sonal investigation and unity between Cu- 

 ban physicians, and finally to make it an 

 exposition of the medical culture of the 

 country. 



LA REELECCION 



^En que quedamos? 



The voter doesn't know what to think. He only hears denial and affirmation continually 

 as to President Gonjez's willingness of accepting a re-election.
