Phoeniz, Arlz., Dec. 9-Arizona s
first state election will be held next
Tuesday In addition to all state and
county officers to Ne chosen, two
United States senators will be named
by advisory vote, and the one mem
Der of congress allowed by the en-
abllng act will be elected. 1t will be
the first election in any state whore
two United States senators will be Sc
lected by an advisory vote OF the
people and it is predicted in some
quarters that one will be a democrat
and the other republican. Most of
the candidates for the legislature,
which makes the actual selection are
pledged to abide by the advisory vote.
owing TO the fact that there has
been no registration for more than
year the vote will be lighter than
usual many Of those registered hav-
ing removed from the state. Upon
the comparatively small number of
electors remaining, the republicans
base their hope of winning, as they
believe that a large majority Of these
who have removed, would have Vot-
ed the democratic ticket.
The Campaigh has been made
largely along personal lines, both
parties having adopted progressive
platforms However, the fact that the
democrats framed the progressive
constitution ana the republicans OPP
posed 1t has been used as the chief
campaign argument By the democrats.
Former opposition to the constitution
has to some degree been offset by the
republican platform, which in some
instances promises more in the way
Of progressive legislation than that
of the democrats.
