ALL ARIZONA IS OUT
 FOR OFFICE
Almost Whole of Legislature Running For Something Within Voters
 Gift.

i PHOENIX, Ariz., May 21.-There is scarcely member of either House of the Arizona Legislature who is not a candidate for some office
 Since the end of, the fourth special session, it has developed that in the closing days, or immediately after ad- journment, many members connded I their secret ambitions to their friends. They are alredy building fences. Most of them have gone back home to do so, but some are still at the capital.
 None are candidates for reelection to the legislature each one fancles that his record as a legislator makes him a formidable contender for some higher office.
 Senators Worsley, Pace, H. R. Wood, Roberts and Davis are candi- dates for the Democratic nomination for governor President M. G. Gun niff, of the senate, wants to succeed Mark Smith in the United States sen ate.
 To Unite Republicans. , J. F. Brown is being boomed for the Progressive nomination for governor, . but it has developed that Senator Lorenzo Hubbell, of Apache county, and Fred Breen of Coconino, have dreams of uniting the Republicans and Progressives. Each feels that he | party to victory Both were elected as Republicans and have never re nounced their allegiance to the G. O. P.
 s It is said in some quarters that : Breen wants to be Congressman; but his closest friends say that he thinks ; it will be easier for him to become governor than to beat Carl Hayden : Therefore he will be content to ac , cept the hair of Hunt, but if Il should turn out that he couldn't gel that, he would accept the office o1 Secreary of State, or something like that.
 HubbeII Leads Opposition Hubbel1 is the recognized leader oi : the Republicans and was leader of the minority in the Senate. He Is popu , lar among both Progressives and Re publicans, but his recent effort to hold | meeting of the leaders of the two = parties in Phoenix was pronounced 2 frost.
 Senator c. B. Wood of Phoenix, is an ayowed candidate for state treas !. urer. He will not have to oppose l David F. Johnson of Douglas, the pres ent incum bent, because the constitl l. ton prevents the treasurer succeed 3 ing himself Johnson has. his eye or 3 the tax commission.
 t Osborn Has Clear Field. : There are no. Democrats who have . any strong aspirations toward the of fee of Secretary of State. Plenty O them would like to have the place but Secretary Sidney Osborn has an | nounced that he is candidate to sue ceed himself and all realize that l any Democrat gets it it is pretty ceT tain to be Osborn.
 Osborn was the weakest man ol the Democratic ticket in the campaign r. hot opponent was the strongest man ol 1 the Republican ticket. At any rate he boiled the lowest vote. But sine l then Osborn has been tending to bus | ness, and: steering clear of aM tn broils in his own party. He has mad
 a good secretary and neither the Hun
 element or the governors enemle have anything against him. Nor ca
 they accuse him of dOdging-he sin
 ply stayed out of fights in which h
 had no call to mix. Of all the Demo
 crats at the capitol, Sidney P. is tn
 most likely to hold his job.
