Favorable to Obaldia.

Although there is no official record to
that effect. it is asserted that the officers
of the United States government who have
investigated the situation are practically
agreed that the interests of the United
States on the Isthmus of Panama will be
best served by the election of Senior Obal-
dia. who was formerly Panaman minister
to the United States and is known as a
friend of this government. In order to
correct any possible msur understanding on
that point. President Amador of Panama
has instructed the secretary of the Pana
ma legation In this city to inform all per-
sons concerned that Minister Squiers is
persona grata to the Panaman govern
ment.

NATIONAL W.C.L.U

Denver, October 23.-The thirty
fifth annual convention of the Ma
tional w. C. T. U. met in the audi
forum of this city at $3.50 this
morning, and will continue its ses-
sions until next Wednesday night
An extensive program has been pre-
pared for three sessions will be held
The most important of today's ses-
sions were the address Of the presi-
dent at the morning session and the
report of the secretary and treasur-
er at the afternoon session.
The auditorium was we'll filled
when the convention was called to
order, and Mrs. Stevens awoke the
enthusiasm of her hearers when she
recited the great progress made by
the temperance cause during the past
year.
President Stevens began her ad-
dress by reciting the gains made by
the temperance cause during the
past year. Prohibition, she said,
now prevails in Maine, Kansas,
North Dakota, Georgia, Oklahoma,
Alabama, Mississippi and North Ca

Takes Issue With the Democratic
Press Committee in an Interview
and Contrasts Democratic Admin
istration of the County Auditors
Office With That of Republican.

the office A complete new Water
Right Index was compiled, a COM
plete Road Record Index and File,
new and original Contract Record
installed, modern record for Mar
ter's License Record and Index, and
many other devices for sthe better
ment of the Office, and thereby SIM
other duty which was incumbent
upon the auditor during my term of
Office was the custody and work of
keeping up the county road records.
This service, while taking a great
deal of the auditors time, returned
no fees. Under the new law Mr..
Godfrey has been almost wholly re-
lievei from this duty as the county
engineer has full charge of these
road records, and is required to
maintain an open Office for the ac-
commodation of the public. This
change alone, while relieving the au-
ditor of this duty, but not reducing
his fee income one cent, costs the
county more than a thousand dollars
year. The service and convenience
given the public by this added ex-
pense is exactly the same as when I
served as auditor.
Another item of fees claimed by
Mr. Godfrey, and for which he takes
credit as fees, is the amount paid the
county auditor during the last year
by the abstract companies for car
bon copies. This amounts to some
two hundred dollars. During my
term this was paid direct to the
treasurer, and no credit taken by the
auditors Office. AS / stated before,
I would not 60 into this matter so
fully, but ! believe the attack justi-
fies it. AS to Mr.. GOdfrey's con-
duct of the office, have no complaint
to make. He has been accommodate
ing and efficient, but l do object to
mis-statement, or hather a half
statement of the facts in order to
gain a reelection.

The statement of the democratic
press committee relative to the con-
duct of the auditors Office dur
ing the incumbency of Mr.. God
frey, as we'll as his own claims for
economy, is calling forth considera-
BILE comment. So far, the campaign
has been very quiet, but it is likely
to warm up if some of the over-anx-
ious candidates are not content with
leaving well enough alone.
Mr.. Godfrey and his cohorts are
claiming that he has done several
hundred dollars more business than
his predecessor, John A. Gellatly,
and that his Office expense has been
some two hundred dollars less dur
ing like period of time. In order
that the other side of the picture
may be seen Daily World reporter
called upon Mr.. Gellatly this morn
ing and asked him: "How about it?"
In reply, Mr.. Gellatly said: well,
I did not want to get mixed up in
this campaign, but this is charge
rejecting directly on my term of Of
flee as we'll as upon the party that
elected me, and l feel that it should
not go unchallenged. 1t is another
case of telling half of the truth, and
thereby making full-sized false
hood. l am not surprised to learn
that the press committee would do
this as there might be some probable
ity of it's being misinformed, and as
a rule some press committees are
looking at the end to be obtained
rather than a justification of the
means employed. I am surprised,
however, at Mr.. Godfrey, as he above
all others is in a position to know
that his comparison is unfair. While
l am not disputing his figures, do
wish to explain away his thunder.
He knows that during my last
year l completely re-systematized
the Office, and this at a cost Of seve-
raj hundred dollars, which cost Is
charged against my term, but was
no part of the running expense of

How They Forced the Removal Of IN

scribes strange happening here yes.
terday morning. The fishermen had
brought in a big catch Of fish and
shellfish and the market was just
opening when a police inspector step
ped up to one of the tishwives to make
note Of an infringement Of the local
bylaws.
The woman had stepped two yards
further than the bylaw allowed her
to do. A minute later second police
complaint was made-against wom-
an who had undertaken to sell the fish
OF fshwife who was i'll. A third
complaint was made against fisher
man who went out of his turn in put
ting up his catch for sale.
The news Of the police ohlciousness
spread quickly. Many of the women
were still bargaining with the fisher
men, but the last bids and counter
bids could not be heard for the shouts
Of the women established behind the
fish baskets on the market place. In
two minutes the word was passed
round that the fishwives were going to
close the market in order to show
their indignation against the police.
For some time all was hurry and
Oustle; within ten minutes the market
square had been cleared and the fish
returned to the boats in which they
had been brought into harbor. Thus
1t was that the $4,000 inhabitants of
Cherbourg were without fish yester-
day. The strike came to an end to-
day owing to the removal by the mu-
nicipal authorities Of the obnoxious
police inspector.
