PANAMA ELECTIONS TAKE PLACE SUNDAY All Present Indications Point to the Election of the Ticket of the Obaldia Party. NEWSPAPER BITTER AGAINST AMERICANS Intimates That United States Activity in Panama Is From Selfish Motives and Fears a Repetition of Maine Incident. Hearst News Service, Panama. July 9.—As the presidential campaign in Panama draws to a close, charges and counter charges of graft and corruption are being made by the leaders of the two factions and the ex citement among the people Is reaching a high pitch. The election will he held Sunday. All present appearances point to the success of General J. D. de Obaldia, whose party was success ful in the recent municipal elections, Obaldia is the opposition candidate to the government party, which is sup porting Dr. Ricardo Arias, President Amabor's minister of foreign affairs. lor president. Obaldia declares that wholesale graft has marked Amador's administration and that it is the pur pose of Arais to perpetuate such a regime. Hundreds of American ma rines are patrolling the canal zone, to protect the property of the United States government, but no serious trouble is anticipated. It Is alleged by Obaldia that (he government party, frightened by the result of the municipal elections, is making prepa rations for wholesale ballot box stuf fing. The organs of the Arais party are very bitter against the United States government for its intervention in Panama's political contest, and the Star and Herald, in an editorial said | to be inspired by President Amador, caustically 'remarks, with a covert threat: "On election day, God forbid there may pass in Panama something which, like the explosion of the Maine in Cuba, may serve as a cause so that all of us remain enmeshed in the common conflagration, for is it not true that the Americans are today in the world the heralds of purity of suffrage, and that solely through love of this purity do they come to break lances in a foreign land, whilst in their own country the recollection that ballot boxes full of ballots were thrown into the muddy waters of the Mississippi still remain fresh? "We desire pure elections. We want a President to be he who has obtained the greatest number of votes at the polls, but we do not accept the present intervention, because we consider it unconstitutional, incon venient and dangerous." The Obaldia party, on the other hand, welcomes the supervision of the election by the United States authorities. The Press, a supporter of General Obaldia, declares that the discontent of the Arias supporters is due to the fear that the intervention of the "big stick" will prevent the carrying out of their plans for steal ing the election. Fear is expressed in some quarters that present peaceful appearances are deceptive and that the malcontents will yet succeed in arousing the peo ple to a widespread revolt that will give Uncle Sam's marines plenty to do in coping with the situation.

' ' lowest-priced thing of value you can buy in this city. This phrase of the matter probably never occured to you. « But think it over. Suppose that the rate for want ad vertising in this newspaper were one dollar a word! A prohibitive rate, you say? Perhaps, for some classes of business. But if you were compelled to sell real estate, a dollar a word for an ad. would still be a profit-returning rate for you if it found the best market for your property. It would be a cheap rate for a Situation Wanted ad. if it found twice as good a job for you as you have ever had. It would be a profitable way to secure a tenant for vacant property. In fact, perhaps half of the want ads. would pay the advertisers at a dollar a word-- and a great many of them would be paid for at that rate if this newspaper charged that rate. ( The purpose of this comparison is not to announce any ad vance in the want advertising rates-but to bring to your mind the fact that want adv. space, as now sold, is a genuine ' bargain' IL if COAL FAMINE TO BE AVOIDED Retail Coal Dealers Meet in Min neapolis to Discuss Means to This End. Hearst News Service. Minneapolis, Minn., July 9.—Mel hods of preventing the annual fuel famine which obtains in the Northwest every winter, leaving suffering, privation and death in its wake, are under dis cussion at the convention opened here today by the Northwestern Retail Coal Dealers' Association. Dealers are here from Minnesato, Montana, the Dakotas, Wisconsin and Manitoba, and for three days will give almost their undivided attention to the difficult matter of out lining a system of fuel supply for the coming winter. One of the questions to be given con siderable discussion is that referring to summer freight rates. It has been the desire of the association to have the railroads concede certain points' In the way of summer rales that will enable the dealers to Bhip coal at re duced rates to all Northwestern points early In the summer. If the roads can be persuaded to grunt a special rate for the three sum mer monlhs, the companies will- be able to get the coal to the Northwest ern points at a cost that will allow them to sell the fuel at greatly reduced prices, hoping thereby to get the con sumers to buy coal early In the year and avoid the congestion which In evitably brings on the coal famine in the late winter. The matter was taken up last year, but little success was met with, but with the working of the Interstate Commerce commission and a special committee from the association, It Is believed the roads will concede some pointg to the association.
