DINNER.

Before this issue of The Republican
J has been delivered to all its sub
| scribers the voting in Arizona's first
state primary will have begun. The
campaign has been a long and ardu-
Gus one. especially on the democratic
side where there has been the hard
est fight for the nominations and
where some of the candidates have
been engaged in political fence build
ing for at least two or three years.
Also, il has been as pretty ngnt as
one would care to see.
The dope today is of course about
the same as yesterday. The governor
ship fight is conceded to be close and
either man may pull down the plum.
Friends of Hunt are claiming that
their favorite will win in a walk. But
Weedins friends are equally confident
and while they are making no eX-
travagant claims they profess to be-
lieve that their candidate is certain
to win
There are two things to be said
about the senatorial race. Ashurst
seems to be losing ground rapidly,
principally because of the publication
in the newspapers all over the ter
ritory of his record on the special
police bill. 1T looked like Ashurst
for a time" one man said yesterday,
and even as it is he will get fairly
good vote. But the loss of the labor
vote will be fatal. l don't think now
that he has a ghost of a show"
There is another man who has lost
prestige within the past day or so
and that is Brady ONeill. In this
case the loss is attributable to no
political enemy of O'Neill, it is at
tributable solely to himself. His bald
statement in his plaza speech Satur-
day night that he and George Hunt
had deliberately searched the desks
of three members of the legislature
for some private papers, has raised a
storm that the candidate could hardly
have foreseen when he confessed to
having been guilty of an act of that
kind.
It is a little hard to understand
why Mr.. O'Neill confessed to such
The only explanation that has been
offered is that he was carried away
by his enthusiasm and did not realize
the Nervousness of the conduct to
which he confessed. At all events
Mr.. O'Neill's Peeping Tom perform
ance in going through the desks
of other gentlemen in a search for
their private papers has made him
the subject of much censure here and
will undoubtedly bring him into dis
repute throughout the entire territory
Carl Hayden, democratic candidate
for representative in congress, takes
exception to the forecast printed in
The Republican yesterday morning
giving the nomination TO Mulford
Winsor. the candidate from Yuma
Mr. HAYDEN has made a canvass of
the entire territory and feels assured
that he will win. This is the way
it looks to him:
The five northern counties will
probably cast 1000 democratic votes
OF these Hayden figures he will get
1000. Winsor 900, and Cobb 100
OF the estimated 1000 democratic
votes in Maricopa county Hayden
claims 1900 and comedies $50 to Win
sor and so to Cobb.
The remainder of the counties are
sized up as follows:
Pinal. 800 democratic cotes. Hay
den 175, Winsor 100. Cobb 25.
Gila, 900 votes. Hayden 326, Win
sor AIS. Cobb 100.
Graham. 700 votes. HAYDEN 800.
Winsor so, Cobb $50
Greenlee, 700 votes. Hayden 75.
Winsor rs, Cobb $50.
Cochise. 1900 votes. Hayden 400,
Winsor 200. Cobb 200.
Santa Cruz. 300 votes Hayden $50.
Winsor 125. Cobb 25.
Pima, 1000 votes. Hayden 500.
Winsor 4OO Cobb 100.
Yuma, 500 votes Hayden so. Win
sor 500, Cobb so.
This gives the nomination to Hav-
den by a plurality of 700
1t might be a good idea for the
statistical citizen to paste this in his
hat for reference after the votes are
counted.
Today is a legal holiday so far as
the court is concerned. That is, no
judicial business will be transacted
today so that jurors and witnesses
who expected to attend court today
may as well remain at home until to-
morrow as all Tuesdays business
