To the Voters of Arizona:

o t1e voters Of Arizona: A~L
 The Democratic State Committed wishes to call the attention of the voters of the state to two facts hey should bear in mind when entering the voting booth on the seventh of November.
 First: The name of Henry D. Ross, democratic nominee for mem- Der of the Supreme Court does not ap- pear on the ballot under the party name, but is placed in a non-partisan list at the top of the ticket. This applies to the candidate for Superior Judge in each county
 Second: The law provides that the names of candidates for State Tax Commissioner shall also be placed on the ballot without party designation, therefore the name of Charles R. Howe, democratic candidate for that office, appears on the top of the bal lot as does the name Of Judge Ross.
 We realize that there are thous- ands of voters in the state who will vote straight democratic ticket, who will be greatly disappointed if they learn later that they overlook. ed Judge Ross and Mr. Howe, for this reason we take this method of calling their attention to the matter.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4. - Theodore

Manila, via Vancouver today, having
completed course of study in
philanthropy in this country.
Eesiring to distribute his millions
among the poor of his rative land,
the Filipino philanthropi..t came to
America to study the Rockefeller
foundation and other phi1anthropic
enterprises. Yangco has spent eight
months here and believes himself
able to spend his millions in the best

TREATY SIGNED
J FOR ISLANDS
United States to Buy Danish
West Indies From
Denmark for

Deal Will Go
Through.
SALE MUST BE RATIFIED

WASHINGTON. Aug. 4.-The treaty
between Denmark and the United
States for the purchase Of the Danish
West Indies for $25, 900 900 was
signed in New York today by Secre-
tary of State Lansing and Minister
Brun, the state department announced
today.
Early ratification of the treaty is
expected. The sentiment of the
United States senate favors such
action and unofficial word from Cop
enhagen is that the conservative
party which rejected the proposal for
the sale in 1902, Is not now opposed
to the sale.
Chairman Stone of the senate for
eign relations committee, said today
the opposition to the Danish West In
dies purchase apparently was neg
ligible and that ne believed the vote
to conform the treaty would be un-
animous. The only opposition at all
was because of the price, he said.
Under the treaty, the United States
obtains the islands of ST. Croix, St.
John and ST. Thomas, east of Porto
Rico. 1t surrenders its discovery
right in the north of Greenland. The
treaty must be ratified by the Dan
ish and American governments and
the people OF the islands.
The house of representatives, as
well as the senate, will have to ratify
the treaty for this country, because
of the money involved.
From the United States standpoint,
the chief gain in getting the islands
is strategic. For European govern
ments to hold the West Indies is con-
sidered to threaten this country's in
terests.
