 what was sure to happen to that in dividual at the city primarie. has caused the entire insurgen democratic ticket to withdraw from the field. An effort i. now being made to effect a coali- ton between the insurgents of botf the republican and democratis partie. and have them support an ''inde- pendent" ticket to be nominated b, petition after the primaries have beer held
 F. A. Jones, who was nominated by the radical democrats for mayor is now in Washington. Even at that distance he seems to have seen the morning he telegraphed his wife tC have his political packers take his name off the ticket. Mrs. Jones de- livered the message. which threw consternation into insurgent democrat ranks. The head of the ticket was gone and the other candidates inn mediately began to think that they might as well go too.
 Several reasons were given by Jones for his desire to withdraw from the race before the primaries In the first place he said he hadn't time to be mayor if elected. He was also afraid that since he could not be here to make a fight for himself on the day of the primaries. he would be defeated by Eugene Hackett. the other democratic mayoralty candi- date.
 hou0ad tn that she had ever received that sad message from her husband Jones was the only man for mayor of Phoe- nix and he was certain to he elected. His friends would see to that. But Mrs. Jones was true and faithful wife. She absolutely insisted that the wishes of her worse half be obeyed.
 Before any final decision was made the insurgent democratic candidates and leaders went to see the leaders of the labor element.
 What will happen to Jones at the primaries? they asked
 Plenty" was the short and laconic reply.
 "why?'
 He tried to rat the town. He's against labor unions and he can't ex- men"
 Then the history of the recent printers strike was gone over. Jones is the proprietor of the Arizona State Press one of the printing firms that had a dispute with the unions and tried to secure an injunc- ton to prevent the local typographical union from interfering with the op- eration of its shop with non union employees. The printers denied any such intention and the injunction was denied
 That settles it." said the other We quit
 The other candidates were: w. G. Tolleson. for councilman in the First ward; John l.. Irwin. for councilman in the Third ward; Dr. l.. D. Dam eron. for treasurer; F. s. Mccall. for assessor: E. B. Vincil. for marshal. Frank DeSouza. regular democratic candidate for recorder, was endorsed by the insurgents
 Dr. H. A. Hughes. in whose mind originated the idea of a second dem ocratic ticket, opposed this decision Df the candidates and urged them to stand firm.
 Stay in the game and fight it out IS democrats" he urged. Don't lay town like this
 Afterward Dr Hughes admitted hat it might be good politics" for he insurgent democrats to join with he insurgent republicans. The doc or. however. looks toward election lay rather dubiously. He doesn't ike to vote any ticket except a dem ,cratic and he doesn't like the regu- ar democrats any better than the 'egular republicans. There are other in the same frame of nind
 No denial is made that there is cheme on foot to join forces with a adical element in the republican ,arty.
 According to report a conference will be held tomorrow morning. when ome agreement may be reached. It s too late to put a ticket in the field for the primaries so the nom nations will have to be made by pe- ition after the first of April. The adical democrats might have chang d the head of their ticket and gone head anyway. had there been time O do so. No change can be made within ten days of the primaries. so he whole bunch decided to draw out nd depend upon independent support | or the furtherance of their political | mbitions.
 Irwin and Tolleson are acceptable | o the so-called republican insur | ents So was Jones. but he is out | f it now. It is likely that some | erson not too strongly identified | Tith either side will be agreed upon } head the independent ticket. Irwin nd Tolleson will be the candidates pr councilman and the radical re- will insist upon naming the ther nominees.
