WILLIAM J. OAKES ANNOUNCES
FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER
I-
The Husonlan Is authorised to an-
nounce the name of William (Bill)
Oakes as a candidate for flio office of
county commissioner in the second
district, comprising the townships of
Everidge, Hugo, i./eter, subjer-t to tiie
action of tlie democratic voters at tUe
primary to be held August 1.
Wllllanj J. Oakes is a pioneer. He
has resided at Grant since l87o, save
/or a period of less than five years,
when he was in Paris, Texas. At
Grant, what is now Choctaw county.
He has been actively engaged in busi-
ness and lias held a place in the es-
teem of the people of this eounty all
of those years. He cnnouncas that he
favors good highways, but that lie
has discovered it takes money io
build them, and that wind only aida
in drying the- roads after the ruin his
fallen. He wishes the people to know
that he favors the expenditure of ev-
ery possible dollar on highway n.-
Iirovement, reminding all thftt the dol
lars are much easier talked of than
secured. He has been county com-
missioner and is holding tnnt por-
tion now. He believes that in build-
ing roadways the county Is but ad-
vancing the common interest, mean-
while cognizant of the fact that ex-
penditures must be lield down to a
point which" can be met.
Bill' Oakes needs little press com-
mendation. The people of this com-
missioner district know him—know-
that he stands four squire for the
common weal. He asks the people to
look up his record as commissioner,
his fight for the people before the
state equalization board and the re-
sults obtained. If the people desire
that he serve them as their next cow-
mlssioner. Mr. Oakes will gladly Co
so. If the democratic voters cast their
ballots against him. he will bow to
the public will and accept their dic-
tum without complaint. Mr. Oakes so-
licits the vote of every democrat in
the second district .and, given the
support of the majority, will continue
to serve them as he has is the past.

ST 0( KHOLM, April -I.—Prepata-
tions for the flection of a now Swed-
ish parliament are in full swing with
a tremendous wave of popular clamor
for a stronger national defense arous-
ed by fears of Kussiau aggression.
Two parties—conservatives and lib-
era.* — make tl;i. tho dominant i.
of the campaign but beneatli tills is
a question deemed by socialists as
even more pregnant with immediate
consequences than the possibility of
invasion. It Is declared In some quar-
ters that the king s crown is at stake.
The point is that"while the deipanil
for stronger national defence has stir-
red t!ie whole nation, classes
apparently still more fjoncemed
in defending themselves tgajnst an
excessive exenise of power by their
King Uustave V.
The crisis on this point was
brought about by the king's speech (o
a throng of 30,000 peasants who gath
ered in Stockholm from all parts of
the country of February ti as a demon
stration in favor of increased arma-
ments. The king told th'i peasants
that the problem of defense was one
which must be solved without loss ot
time, and on that point he would not
yield.

The king's speech was made in the
tacq of warnings from the crown
prince and Prince Charles, and, in-
deed, from a number of conservative
and liberal party leaders. The queen
and some of the king's personal
friends, however, advised his majesty
to make the speech as originally
drawn up. and their counsels prevail-

PANAMA, April 4,—The l3tl|mudof
i'anaina Is not only to become a gate-
way for the worm s shipping but a
great storehouse for the goods of all
nations, according to the hopes of the
Panama republic.
The plan to make Panama City and
Colon free ports of entry tor the
merchandise of the world is being
drawn up for introduction to the next
fceneral assembly which meets in
September and the government anti-
cipates tio aerioui opposition,
The secretary of foreign affairs,
Ernesto Le Pevre, declares that un-
der the free port plan Panama and
Colon would become great wholesale
markets, and merchants, especially
from Central and South America
would come here to do their buying
Irom the stocks ar.d samples brought
here by the merchants and manufac-
turers of the United States and Eu-
rope.
There now is collected by Panama
an Import duty of 10 per cent on all
merchandise entering the country. An
annual revenue of about *2,000,000
is thus derived. In order to makeup
this deficit other sources of revenue
will have to ba found, and tills, the
authorities declare, can be oone.
In connection with the opening of
the two ports it is planned by the
Panama authorities to erect lar^e
warehouses at both ends of the cantl
and they already have entered into
negotiations with the Panama Rail-
road company for permission to erect

forth through the railroad yards, ra-

ran, drove the federal forces, succor-

■Finally, when tha federals were
making their last stand, afld when for
ces from Saltillo were rushing under
i.eneral Maas to relieve the garrison
here, Herrera called off his force,
which had entered Torreon four
thousand strong and now reduced to
less than half that number, and
marched forth to meet the forces of' 11.00

that there are 40,000.000 barrels or
