W. F. Cooper Visiting Tucson
Loses District Attorney RdG6

Mr.. w. T. Cooper returned to the
city from Florence yesterday He
was kept busy all day shaking hands
with his old Tucson friends. Mr.
Cooper, without a doubt. is one of the
most popular men in Pima county to-
day, but he says he is here merely on
business, and not to stay He intends
to make Florence his home in the
future. He has a host of followers in
that section who are eager to encour-
age his enterprise. His many friends
in Tucson were pleased to see him
looking so well, and he was given the
glad hand on every side.>
Every one was anxious to hear the
returns on his fight for district attor-
ney in Pinal. The race was closely
contested, and up to II o'clock on
Thursday Mr.. Cooper led his opponent,
j. f. O'Connor, by good majority.
The last precinct came in at that hour.
and the Democratic candidate won out
by about twenty-five votes. The first
report sto reach Tucson were to the eff
feet that Mr.. Cooper had been success
full. His friends have been anxiously
awaiting a confirmation ever since.
The political race in Pinal was a
peculiar one in many respects. The
whole election was dominated by the
sheritf's fight. In the first place the
Democrats nominated two men for the
office in separate and distinct conven-
tiOns. One was known as the Wills
ticket and the other as the Truman
t1Nket. Each faction claimed to be the
regular Democratic ticket, and each
refused to file an independent ticket.
The board of supervisors was in a di-
lemma. but finally decided to put both
tickets on the official ballot. It was
taken for granted that the Republican
nominee would benefit by the split. but
Tom Wills managed to win out.
There is some talk of the Republi-
cans contesting the whole election. The
official ballot is the point of conten-
tlon. and it certainly does look Pc
cullar. There is one silver dollar above
the first column, with a Democratic
ticket beneath. The second column Is
headed by the flag, with the Republi-
can ticket under it. Then follows an
other silver dollar and another Dem.
ocratic ticket. The Republicans de.
clare the presence of two tickets from
any one party on the official ballot is
Illegal. No one ticket was wholly
successful. Each faction and party
elected some of its nominees. The
Democrats carried the county.

anxious to aid the farmer to grow in
his section what is most suitable to
the land and adapted to the climate
With this idea in view they intend tb
distribute quantities Of seed intelli-
gently over the agricultural districts.
Arizona is entitled to her share Of the
seed, and farmers should not be back
ward in making their requests known.
The department will give any inform
alton desired, and will furnish the seed
free. The following notice was re
ceiyed from our Delegate in Congress
todaya
81 am Informed by the United States

tate the distribution, will be glad to
