PREDICT BUA|AL Of
"STNAD PATTERS"
IN ARIzON ELECTION
GBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS

PHOENIX, Ariz.,. Dec 11.-That the
progressive Democrats fighting under
the slogan of put friends Of the con-
stitution in charge will bury the
stand pat" Republicans and elect their
entire state and congressional ticket
at the first state election to be held
tomorrow seems foregone conclusion
today. John J. Birdno, chairman OF
the Democratic state central lommi.-
tee today claimed the election by a
majority of 1915 out of total estimat-.
ed vote of 21,OOO. The enabling act oft
congress disfranchising 1000 eligible
voters by allowing practically no one
to vote not registered in 1907 is re-
ceiving much condemnation, and this
has been one of the issues of the cam
paign against Ralph H. Cameron, ter
ritorial delegate to Washington, who
is running for the United States SEN
ate
Chairman ]. l.. Hubbell of the Re-
publican central committee estimated
today that the Republicans will win
by majority of 1865, but several OF
the leaders of the party admit defeat
Their real fight is for the election of
Cameron, who with Hoval A. Smith,
his running mate, have put up hard
fight against Henry F. Ashurst and
Mark A. Smith, the Democratic aspir-
ants for senatorial togas.
Edward w. Wells, banker. the Re-
publican nominee for governor, pledges
business administration with pro-
lection to capital. George W. P. Hunt,
the Democratic Candidate. promises
his best efforts to carry out to the
letter the spirit of the new constitu-
ton. Both were members of the con-
stitutional convention of which Hunt
was president. Wells bitterly fought
every advanced plank and refused to
sign the document when it was
adopted.
The Democrats claim two-thirds
majority in the state legislature and
concede only the counties of Pima and
Apache, and five members in both
houses to the Republicans
W. S. Bradford, state secretary OF
the Socialist party, claims the elec-
ton of two members of his party to-
the legislature. 1t is estimated that
the Socialist vote will total le06
The state candidates have campaign
ed in groups and interest in the cleo
tion is at fever heat.

Engineer Scott and his associates

SURVEYING Desert Lands

About 20 men who are employed by
Uncle Sam arrived at Banning last
week. They unloaded carload of
supplies, hitched- a string of character
istic government mules to camp wag-
ons and proceeded to the desert to
survey Uncle Sans desert domain,
says the San Bernardino Evening In
dex. Their operations will include the
territory lying between Whitewater
and Twenty nine Palms. Much of the
desert has not been surveyed into sec
tions, only a general survey having
been made year ago. The Southern
Pacific company owns every alternate
section near it's line, by government
land grant. The work now being done
is for the purpose of separating the
government land from railroad land.
The movement indicates a desire on
the part of the railroad company to
place the land on the market.

the clerk of that district that six
pupils from the district are in attend
ance at the Mckinley school and a
record of their attendance has been
demanded in order that the school
district may receive the state money
due on their attendance. AS the
North Yakima district charges no tut
ton fees but takes the state money
instead and as the district has de-
cided and esta blished the rule of ac-
cepting no pupils whose record of at

these pupils, six in number, are to-

course will be pursued in other cases
