PALMA ASKED HELP
CORRESPONDENCE IN CUBAN NAT.
TER Is MADE PUBLIC.
Early In September President Pal
ma Acknowledged Inability to
Deal With Situation and Asked
United States to Take Charge.
Annexation Discussed.

Washington, Oct. 6. - Secretary
Root has made public the correspond.
ence leading up to the intervention in
Cuba. The correspondence took place
between Consul General Steinhart at
Havana and Assistant Secretary Of
State Bacon.
Intervention was asked by the Gu
ban government az early as September
s, and as long ago AZ September IA
President Palma had determined to
resign as president Of the republic,
and the vice president and cabinet
ministers had determined to no longer
continue in Office.
1t is shown that Intervention by the
United States has long been planned
by the Palma government, and was
communicated to the state department
in a letter by Consul Steinhart as
early as September 5. The correspon-
dence consists of dozen or more
cables and letters, in which it is stated
by President Palma, through official
channels, that he was powerless to
cope with the insurrection to the ex-
tent of putting it down or even to pro-
tect life and property. He begged
that the United States might send
troops to take wharge of affairs and
prevent destruction of life and prop
erty.
The correspondence began on Sep
tenn Der and continued until Septem-
Der IA, the last letter telling of the
intended resignation of Palma and
other government officials, leaving
Cuba without a government of any
kind.
This resulted in the hurried send
ing of Secretaries Taft and Bacon to
the island and the subsequent action
taken by them.
Havana, Oct. 6.-Now that the dis.
armament Of the revolutionists and
the government volunteers is pro-
crossing steadily, the thoughtful por-
ton of the public Of all nationalities
are animatedly discussing the posi-
bilities of Cuba's future form of
government.
The desire for annexation, which
has been carefully concealed for the
past four years is now voiced openly
and the wish that the United States
retain some measure of actual control
in Cuban affairs is heard more insist.
emily than ever.
Representatives of leading elements,
both Cuban and foreign, have been
asked to attend a meeting to discuss
the feasibility of holding some sort
of plebiscite by which all classes of
the population would be enabled to
express their ideas on what the future
form of government should be. One
plan suggested is the formation into
groups of the various elements, each
Of which will formulate its own project
of government. The idea of holding
the next elections in January has been
entirely abandoned, the general pref
erence among appearing to favor the
holding of elections in June.

remarkable even among Canadian
homes for its charm and beauty. pre-

Rested on the Suns Day.

In A. D. 3l3 the Emperor Conslan-
tine of Rome granted liberation TO
the Christians and in 32l he gave i'm
peria. sanction to the observance of
the first day of the week. The edict
which introduced a new era in sun
lay observance runs; On the vener-
able day of the sun let the magistrate
and people residing in cities rest and
let all workshops be closed. In the
country. however, persons engaged In
he work of cultivation may freely

TO THE VOTERS
OF MESA COUNTY

The Democratic party cf Mesa
county is entering upon the most
vigorous campaign in its history. 1t
has begun its work by placing be-
fore the people, ticket which is 'un-
precedented, from the standpoint of
ability. Every section of Mesa
county is represented. and it will be
distinctly a Mesa county and not a
Grand Junction campaign alone.
1t costs money to conduct cam
paign. The Democratic party has not
only declared against corporate con-
troll. but it has cut loose from cor
porate domination of all kinds and in
doing SO has refused the contents of
the corporate purse. In short this is
to be a campaign "of the peope. for
the people and by the people" and
to make it such a campaign we want
every Democrat. and every other man
whatever his political belief. whose
purse and conscience will permit. to
contribute the sum of $1.00 for LE-
CLIMATE campaign expenses.
This idea of the dollar campaign
fund is not our own but emanates
from the great commoner William j.
Bryan.

lately to the chairman or secretary
