.NON-PART|SAN TICKET WINS
All Present City Officials Receive Nominations for Reelection to the Offices They Now Hold in City Administration

Overwhelmingly the present city administration running for nomination for re- election on a non partisan ticket carried at yesterdays primaries. This means that with the single exception of the sOcialistic candidates for whom fourteen votes were cast yesterday, the men now in office will have no oppOsi- tion at the general election on Tuesday May 6. Regarded in this light yester- days primaries became an election, the casting of ballots on May being prac tically prefunctory.
 In the two contests, that for the of flee of city marshal and councilman in the Third ward, neither race was close, | City Marshall A. J. Moore defeating w. R. Price with 419 votes to his credit | against 259 cast for Price and 14 cast l for Charles Aune, the socialist candi- date and Elmer Warren, present coun- cilman from the Third ward defeating Arthur c. Hulett with l19 votes to his 1 credit against 76 cast for Hulett, and none for A. F. Mott, the socialist can 1 didate
 There was some spirited work in get | ting out the vote in the Third ward, 1 and late in the day there was some hustling in the Fourth ward when in 1 some manner it became noised about that Price was running close to Moore 1 The count of the ballots, however, dis proved real grounds for such fear. As the voting of yesterday was done upon the basis of the city charter election registration which was but trifle over 170O, there was considerable disap-
 pointment from some who would have
 voted but were found not to be regist
 cred. Out of a possible vote of 100,
 there was total of but 718 votes cast.
 Because of the lack of interest in the district where the only contests were
 between the administration non parti-
 san candidates and those of the social
 ist party, there was considerable
 'singleshooting'' For instance total
 of 52O votes was cast for the office of
 mayor. 506 being for Mayor Christy and
 + being for Bert Davis, socialist,
 showing a total of 19S who did not vote
 for the office of mayor. But in the
 contest for the city marshalship 692
 votes were east being but 21 less than
 the total vote cast
 The total vote cast by wards follows:
 First, PIP; Second. POT; Third POT;
 Fourth, 83.
 Of these in the city marshalshir
 contest the following were cast for the
 following: First-For Moore, ITO; fol
 Price, 89; for Aune, 12 Second-Fol
 Moore, 93; for Price, 5S; for Aune, 1
 Third-For Moore. 99; for Price, S9; for Aune; 0. Fourth-F'Or Moore, 57; | for Price, 23; for Aune, 1,
 u The entire board of fourteen free u holders on the non-partisan ticket Wa: placed in nomination, as high as A E votes being cast for the two leading candidates J. l.. B. Alexander and W B. LOunt and none falling lower thar 39O votes As in the other offices, tn, | socialists showed a strength of F i: | the First ward, in the Second. non' | in the Third and l in the Fourth. II The non-partiSan candidates nomin ated yesterday, all of whom with tn exception of the board of freeholder nominated to draft a new city charte hold the office now for which the. were nominated yesterday and each ha
 already signed a pledge to resign tha office if re- elected as soon as the pro \ posed charter shall have been adopte'
 and their successors elected under tn ' provisions of the new organic law o | the city of Phoenix.
