qualify Himself for Reelection.

Washington, Feb. Central Amer
ican circles here are agog over re-
ports coming from Panama forecast
ing some remarkable development in
the presidential campaign now in
progress there. According to these
reports, President Areaemena, who
recently secured six months leave of
absence from the legislature with
permission to leave Panama will re-
turn before the expiration of his leave
end resume his Office which he left
in the hands of Senior Chiari, who is a
member of the liberal party and op-
posed to Arosemena-
Resumption of office by President
Arosemena before the expiration of
his term would make him ineligible to
succeed himself. Therefore his return
would mean the abandonment Of his
canvass for reelection. It is said
that as the next step in the campaign
which is described as truly Latin
American in its characteristics, Pres
ident Arosemena will throw his full
strength to Senior Arias, at present
minister to Washington, and make
him the candidate of the conservative
party.
Belisario Porrias. who was recalled
as minister to Washington by Arose
mena and who is now the leader of
the liberal party, it is said, will he
forced to yield the nomination of his
party to Federico Boyd. the present
minister of foreign affairs. This is ex-
pected to assure an exciting election.
