PANAMA ELECTIONS
TAKE PLACE SUNDAY

threat:
ION 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 conilagration. for is it not
true that the Americans are today in

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?
I'VE 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

consider it unconstitutional, incon
venient and dangerous

NEWSPAPER BITTER

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-
element among the people is reaching
a high pitch. The election will be
held Sunday. All present appearances
point to the success of General ]. D.
de Obaldia, whose party was success
full 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
for president Obaldia declares that
wholesale graft has marked Amador's
administration and that it is the pur
pose of Arais to perpetuate such q
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. 1t is alleged
by Obaldia that the government
party, frightened by the result of the
municipal elections. is making prepa

COAL FAMINE
TOBE AVOIDED
Retail Coal Dealers Meet in Min.
neapoIis to Discuss Means
to This End.
Hearst News Service.

Minneapolis, MINI, July 9.-Methods
of preventing the annual fuel famine
which obtains in the Northwest every
winter, leaving suffering, privation
and death in its wake, are under dis
today by the Northwestern Retail Coal
Dealers Association. Dealers are here
from Minnesota, 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. 1t has been
the desire of the association to have
the railroads concede certain points
in the way of summer rates that will
enable the dealers to ship coal at re
duced rates to all Northwestern
points early in the summer.
II the roads can be persuaded to
grant a special rate for the three sum
mer months, the companies will be
able to get the coal to the Northwest
ern points at 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 veal
and avoid the congestion which in
eyitably brings on the coal famine il
the late winter.
The matter was taken up last year
but little success was met with, bu
with the working of the Interstate
Commerce commission and specia
committee from the association. it Il
believed the roads will concede som,
points to the association.
