 Early in he year, J. C. Ada nos, who has been president of the fair since it's beginning, rendered his resignation and A. l. Moore of Phoenix was named by Governor Sloan as his successor. Subsequent to Mir. Adams action B. A. Pack. ard resignel and E. R. Pirtle of Douglas was named as his success sor. The formation of the new board was completed at their first meeting hy the election of Hugh Campbell of Flagstaff the holo- over member as president and Shirley Chlisty of Phoenix as secretary. The dates of he fail were fixed for the 2nd week in No vembel, 7,h to the 12h inclusive While the big feature attraction

 In this juncture it is proposed 10 raise fund to reimburse Mir. Duffy the loss to which he will be put in accepting the nomination and elec- ton, in case the latter follows. Of course the adLerents of both Gildea and Whileside cannot see why that should be done. Are not their candidates willing to sacrifice them selves and their fat bank accounts upon the altar of public service? Then why rhould men subscribe money to aid all impecunious per son like Duffy in an effort at i'm molation upon the same altar? Yes.

TOO MANY GOOD MEN.

question ol CdHulu"lo lol 'HO constitutional election. In fact tbpv have too many candidates for inc nomination, and the rank and file of the party are torn over the choice. Were they situated like the republicans with only one available candidate they would be far happier. But with two active candidates for the nomination and strong element urging into the field third candidate their lot is nol at all happy.
 The two statesmen after the nom- ination like the traditional chicken after the traditional June bug, are Hon. Bo. J. Whileside who has represented Santa Cruz county twice in the halls of legislation at Phoe' nix, for which cogent reason he feels that the people of the county owe to him that they should send him to represent them in the i'm porlant work of framing funda- mental law for he coming state of Arizona; and c. A. Gildea E-q., who having served the dear people twoor three terms upon the bench in Nogales precinct now aspires to the broader field of statewide politics and seat in the constitutional convention.

Friends of Vigus, Who Was Let
Out, Now Propose to Fight

Although il is Just "a little early To

trcmely high temperature OF the political
pot, IL must be admitted that it is get

county auditors office In the City and

that Roscoe Nigus. chief deputy under

from the heat and rclinquIsh his position,
The separation OF himself from the of

To have been the result Of the wish OF
MIR. meglnbotham TO break ali precedents
in This county and secure the office a
third time. Mr. Vieus. It Will be remem-
bercd, was mentioned prominently In
connection with the nomination two years
ago. but. knowing that his chief wanted
a second term, Mr. Vigus declined TO
enter the race. The result was The NOM
This year, however. Mr. Nigus. not

Uoeinbotham would attempt To secure the

very busy on his own hook. lie was get
ting fairly well warmed up when lie
was called into the private office by Mr.,
Heginbotham. who asked for his resigna

he desired another term and that he con
sidcred IL prcsumptious as well as unfair
upon the part OF his chief deputy TO op-
his resignation. MIR vigus told Mr., Heg.
inbotham that he could discharge him II
he desired to do SO, but that he would
not resign. Later Mr., Vigus was in
formed that his services were no longer
required and he left the office.
Friends Of Eigus are incensed at the
action OF Hcginbotham and II is reason
ably sure that there now will be some
thing doing right from the jump. II is
pointed out that Mr.. Heginbotham is
serving his second term, after having
been chief deputy under Mont Fisher.
who pushed him forward for the nomina-
ton at the closing OF Mr.. Fishers second
term, and that two terms always have
been considered sufficient.
Mr., Heginbotham, II is understood, is
not the only county official who will seek
a third term. II Is announced that Jack"
Groesbock. treasurer, is trimming his
sails for another try. and, IL is further
said that Groesbcck has persuaded Hcg-
inbotham to make the race with him.
If precedent amounts 90 anything. both
officials will likely fail. as il Will be re-
membcrcd that George Wood became
auditor and Job +, Lyon became county
attorney after they had been discharged
by their respective chiefs for announcing
their candidacy.
In any event. both Groesbeclk and Heg-
