Mist fan at sizzling stump stop

KOCHI, Japan - People stand near a mist fan, placed to help them beat the summer heat, at a stump stop in the city of Kochi in western Japan on Aug. 24. With temperatures rising to over 30 C in many locations prior to the Aug. 30 House of Representatives election, the rivalry is also heating up between Prime Minister Taro Aso's ruling Liberal Democratic Party, which has held power almost without interruption for over 50 years, and the main opposition Democratic Party of Japan.
