TWO CONTESTS
 AT PRIMARIES

Two contests will mark the non partisan city primary election today. and with these settled, the successful non- partisan candidates will be as good as elected unless the socialists. the only political party represented at the primaries, manifest greater strength than they have heretofore been able to marshal in Phoenix. The only fear expressed by those working in the interests of the candidates for offices where the contests exist is that their favorite candidate may be de- feated through the lethargy or in difference of the voters
 Primary elections ordinarily do not bring out anything like the full vote. The reason for this usually is found in the fact that there are few par tisan contests, each party being prac- tically united on candidates and throwing the real work of electing tion day. But the primaries of today are unique in that, while the social ists will nominate their own ticket. there will be no other parties repre- sented in the filling of the seven city | board of fourteen freeholders. The non- partisan petitions present but one candidate each for five of the offices. and but fourteen candidates for the fourteen places to be filled upon the board of freeholders. For the office of city marshal. the incumbent A. J. Moore, is opposed by William F. Price, assistant chief of the fire department, who has been making a strenuous campaign. and who, relying upon a strong republican following. is also understood to be favored by the democrats, who did not present a candidate for any of the offices. Like the candidate he is opposing, his name is presented on a nOn partisan basis.
 In the third ward a contest. non- partisan in character, is being waged between Elmer Warren, present councilman, and Arthur G. Hulett of Elvey & Hulett, Washington street druggists Those advocating the I Hulett candidacy are doing so on the ground that he will, if elected bring | the same clean, careful business methods into the work of his office ! 1 the carrying on and upbuiding oi 1 his business.
