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.

On Some Occasions You
Could Afford to Pay
One Dollar a Word
For WANT
/
ADVERTISING SPACE is about the
W ANT . .....
' ' 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'

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.
