Arizona republican., 1908-11-06
FINAL COUNT ONLY
 FOR CLOSE CONTESTS
Nothing Of RelIaoIe Nature Sufficient
 To Decide Results of Local Election.

There is little more to add to the story of the election returns In this county until the official count Not withstanding ,he reported fullness of the returns there is no record from ei- ther Riverside or Mcdowell at repub- lican headquarters and the records in other places are chiefly hearsay and may be either right or wrong, and in either event do not seem to cover all candidates. The original returns from the outlying precincts at all places have been 'correctedD from time to time to coincide with somebody's lat err information The Republicans record is probably as good as any, for it was carefully handled as the returns came in, though it is just as likely to be erroneous in the transmission as any other In the nasty work of yesterday morning some of the totals were in- correctly printed but in view of the fact that nothing can be definitely re- lied upon from any source it would only be confusing to add more figures of the same sort the public is now in possession of.
 MT. Pancrazi of Agua Caliente, one of the members of the election board in that precinct was in the city yester- day. The previous returns from that precinct were thirty straight demo- cratic tickets and one straight repub- lican. Mir. Pancrazi told a reporter for The Republican that the count was 30 for Smith, nothing for Cameron 1 for Cleary, 31 for Bullard and Hayden, and 30 for all other democrats for Stew ard, for Phillips, l for Hosey and nothing for any other republican. With that showing, 32 men must have voted the supervisorial ticket while only 31 voted for any other office. MT Pan- crazi spoke from memory and the in- cident is cited, only to show the nature of the irregular information at hand in all quarters. There are two or three other precincts recorded on the same kind of a story "so many straight tickets for each side" which would ap- ply to all candidates, but in the off cial count will probably be found some what mixed
 Often there has been a precinct, or two not heard from for a week and often there has been a mix-up on one or two offices, but never before has there been such a multiplicity of con- flicting points. Even from Mesa City correction was sent in yesterday ad- ding five democratic and four repub- lican votes to the legislative ticket. Whether that means changes in the others or not is quite problematical. It is therefore useless to juggle further with figures until the official count.
 In a general way however, the fig ures agree sufficiently to know the result except in two or three instances. There is agreement as to 236 plurality for Cameron with estimates bringing it up to 250. $. F. Webb and Frank De- Souza, democrats, and J. C. Reed, re- publican, are quite likely elected to the assembly with the result between J. w. Woolf and Roy s. Goodrich still in doubt. A. H. Fulton seems to be elected school superintendent, but it. will not be conceded until the official count. Hoghe claims election as the holdover supervisor, but that cannot be definitely determined until the of ficial count. In all other cases the democratic ticket was successful except In the case of c. w. Johnstone, justice of the peace in Phoenix, and some out lying precinct justices and constables. and J. c. Phillips, probate judge.
