Regarding Precinct Officers

Nomination papers for candidates for precinct officers such as justices of the peace, are requisite, but no provision is made in the primary law for the number of voters in any party who are to sign it.
 Such is the gist of an opinion prepared by Attorney General John B. Wright at the request of District Attorney Benton Dick of Pima county. It is relative to the nom- ination of precinct officers, who are not mentioned as such in the pri- mary law of 1909, as amended by Ordinance No. of the constitu- tional convention.

HON. GEO. U. YoUNa has an- nounced his candidacy for the nom- ination for governor of Arizona. In our opinion, MT. Young is the best man the republicans could nominate. He can poll the full party vote, and would get a large vote in the mining districts that would otherwise go to other candi- dates. If MT. Young should be elected governor of the new state, every one, whether capitalist or laboring man, can rest assured that they willreceive square deal.

.FEDERATION'S
BUSY SESSION
Urge Five Years Wages for
Employees Killed in
Service
UNITED NINE WORKERS
HIT CIVIC FEDERATION
By The United Press.

BY The United Press.
ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 16.-The
American Federation Of Labor in an
nual convention today decided to urge
Congress TO pass q workman's COM
pensation law, giving a minimum Of
FIVE years wages to employees killed in
serkicesf
A resolution, which Is believed cer-
tain of adoption, will urge the passage
of the LaFollette bill which would
give free speech to government clerks.
The measure would abrogate the ex-
ecutive order issued by Roosevelt and
maintained by Taft which prohibits
the employees Of the government from
taking any part in any effort for leg
islation without the specific permis-
sion OF the heads of the various de-
partments.
The United Mine Workers today in
trOduced a resolution cOndemning the
National Civic Federation and request
ing all members of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor to sever their con-
nection with the Civil Federation.
This, it is expected, will precipitate a
fight and may result in an effort 10
prevent the reelection of President
Gompers. In a recent statement Com
pers said that he believed his connec-
ton with the Civic Federation was OF
great value to him and that he would
not sever it. He is strongly of the
opinion that it is in the interest OF
labor to maintain the present rela-
tions. The United Miners have at
tempted before to cause the retirement
of Gompers and the election of a
younger man, but so far they have
found little support in their efforts.
