Moth ing has so taken hold of and held peoples minds in years. and every one in Phoenix and throughout the state is interested in the outcome

 Many False Rumors
 Az in a cUoppSSfn1 contest many false rumors are aflOat in re- gard to the contest and the standing of the various candidates. The pri- mary object of these rumors is to discourage some candidate who is proving a strong competitor. Some one no doubt feels that with YOU out of the way. her chances for suc- cess would be brighter In other words your success is interfering with hers, and she used various means and ways to cause you to give up the race A friend of hers meets you upon the street probably. and tells you of the immense number of votes she has, naming some preposterous figure Of course, you are sure of the truth of these statements, but when some one else tells you the same thing. you feel though you were ready to give up probably after having met with splendid success and being right in line for handsome prize. In starting all such rumors there is always an object in view and an application of good common sense will always show you the inn probability of such statements. Many wise acres, whose principal occupation in life seems to be a constant mouth ing of things which they know noth ing of. are also abroad during an af- fair of this kind, distributing gratuit ously inside information in regard to the contest to all who will listen Such garblingS are but the ravlngs of weakened minds, and deserve nc consideration from thinking people Sound business judgment which readily recognizes the utter impossi- bility Of anything but square dealing in an affair of this mind-will dis miss without consideration all such rumOrs
