Arizona republican., 1912-09-10
MESA
LITTLE ATTENTION
 PAID TO POLITICS
Mesa People Too Busy With Home Improvement Matters to Give
 Time to Selection of Candidates

Considering that the approaching election is presidential affair, and the first one in which the voters of Arizona ever had an opportunity to take part, there is very little interest in the campaign in Mesa Ordinarily at this date in the campaign there would be democratic clubs, republican clubs and gatherings of the few so- cialists in the community, with prob ably a speech or two by some noted prOhibitiOnist. So far no local organ izatiOns have been formed and one hears little talks of the primary cleo
 tion that will take place tomorrow.
 The apathy of the voter if so it may be called is not because he does not
 realize the importance of the fall cleo tion but is probably due to the elim- ination of the local features of the campaign. No county offices are to be filled and there are not the usual punches of candidates handing out the glad hand and hot air to the electors. It is probable too, that the voters, generally, have made up their
 minds whom they will support in the presidential contest and hence believe 1 it is yet early to enthuse over that feature of the game.
 1 For the primaries tomorrow, the voting precincts of Alma. Mesa and | Lehi will have their polling booths at | teh usual places Two new precincts have been formed by the board of l supervisors and the people of Higley | and Chandler will not be compelled | to come to Mesa to cast their votes l This will no doube result in a larger vote in the area formerly embraced 1 in the Mesa precinct. It was some
 thing of a hardship for the voters | living ten and twelve miles from Mesa to lose a day to cast their votes
 and unless the parties were particu- t1arly interested in some candidates S election, they stayed at home. The 1 boundaries of the new precincts are ] as follows and those living therein | will have their own place of voting: | Chandler precinct-Commenc at a point where the south boundary
