TRANSFERS OF VOTERS
 10 AND FROM COCHISE
Statement by Recorder Me- Donald as 10 What is
 Being Done

T have made transfers of two hundred voters from the register in Cochise county to other counties in the territory and have received five transfers Of voters into this county from other parts of the territory. On account Of the failure to provide a re-registTation of the voters for the coming election, there will be a great many otherwise legal voters who will be deprived of the privi- lege of casting their ballots in the forthcoming primaries and in the December eleQ~on. This is 10 be regretted and the unfortunate condi- tion has arisen because of the hold ing up Of the statehood bill by the republicans in congress and the president for nearly a year after fuii qualification had been made by this territory.
 Thus spoke Charles A. Mcdonald, democratic candidate for sheriff and at present county recorder, who was | in Douglas yesterday for the pur. . pose of meeting the voters of this city.
 At the election for constitutional | delegates in Coohise county last year there were $500 votes cast, Of
 every character It is believed that
 there were many voters who did
 not vote in that election because
 Of the practical concession that the
 democrats would win easily In the
 Willcox district there had been
 heavy rains preceding election day
 and on account of bad roads many
 of the ranchers did not reach the
 polls. IL is the opinion of Mir. Me
 Donald that the vote this year ought
 to nearly equal that Of last year.
 The loss of voters in the county
 will be pretty evenly distributed
 over the county with perhaps a
 greater loss at Tombstone and Bis
 bee, though it is known that twen- weight voters have left the Ben
 son precinct since the last election.
 In Douglas il is believed there will be fewer votes lost than at any other point. Mining camps are pro verbal for their floating population are more settled Of course there
 is a large number Of Mexicans com ing and going all the time in Doug las, but there are few Mexican yot- CTS in Douglas because of their lack of naturalization, which Is now SO complicated that very few care to go through the chain of require. ments necessary to become enrolled as citizens of the United States. With total vote Of 2.590 in Co chise county. it is estimated that the democratic vote should reach close to two thousand.
 Speaking of Mir Mcdonald, it is proper to say here that he is seek ing the democratic nomination for sheriff. after having faithfully ser ved the people as justice of the peace in Bisbee and as county re corder for five years. Before being chosen as justice or the peace he worked in the mines. His record has been one of faithful and eff | cient service 10 his c0pstitueHts and devotion and loyalty to his party at all times.
 George U. Young, secretary of Arizona, ex-newspaper man, promi- nent as a mining man, and at this writing a candidate in the primary election seeking tbc republican nom inatiOn for governor, poked his smiling and gcod-natured face into Douglas today. Mir. Young says there is no doubt that he could be elected governor Of Arizona in case he receives the nomination, as he is a progressive that has all the dem
 ocrHts backed off tie board. and
 that is one Of his excuses for leav- ing his happy hOuc aud hitting tue
 political trail at the present time.
 He also thinks that his nomination
 for governor would greatly strength
 eu republican hope, which will he
 hopeless without him. He has not
 been able to impress this fact on
 he republican mschire ur e the
