Votes-Mitt Simms is Nominated
for Office of Treasurer-Race o.
Mine Inspector Bolin is Close, But
SuccessfuI-Mark Smith Receive:
Stream of Congratulations from Ari
zona and Washington, to Where He
Returns to Resume His Duties.
Returuns from the first general state
primary are still incomplete but
it is a certainty that George w.
p. Hunt has been nominated for gov
ernor over DR.. H. A Hughes, by a
majority of something like 5000.
Mark A. Smith was renominated for
the senate over Reese NJ. Ling by a
majority equally as great.
One of the surprises of the election
was the decisive manner in which J.
G. Callaghan, present state auditor,
beat Lin B. Orme. It was expected
that the Hunt vote would be almost
regarded the chances of the two can
dfdates as about even. Orme appears
to have carried only one county,
Maricopa. Callaghan's majority in
Cochise, his home county. was tre-
mendous.
F. A. Jones and w. P. Geary are
certainly renominated for the corpora
tion commission. Commissioner A.
w. Cole is also ahead, with Don C.
al hundred votes behind.
Supreme Judges Renominated.
The present supreme court judges,
Alfred Franklin, H. D. Ross and D. L.
Cunningham, are all renominated. J.
J. Hawkins, of Prescott, polled only a
small vote.
No one was surprised by the victory
of Nit Simms over w A. Parr in the
race for the treasurership nomination.
Simm's majority must be in the neigh
borhood of 1000 1t is impossible to
say how much Wiley E. Jones, candid
ate for attorney general beat Leslie
Hardy and H. H. Linney. Linney to
the surprise of many, was low man.
1t had been predicted that Linney
would poll the north almost solid and
at least beat Hardy.
G. o. Case, present superintendent
of schools, and G. H. Bolin, the state
mine Inspector, were close victors over
H. @. Robertson and Charles Hanson
respectively.
Tax Commissioners C. NJ. lander
and P. J. Miller had no opposition.
Secretary of state Sidney Osborn was
also without an opponent.
Some Real Surprises.
Election news from over the state |
brought many surprises. Phoenix |
gasped when it was learned that Smith {
had beaten Ling in Prescott two to /
one. Ling once lived in Prescott and |
Smith is a Tucson man. And Yava-
pal county was regarded as a strong i
anti-Hunt stronghold, but on the face
of the returns to date Hunt is ahead |
in that bailiwck three to one. Hunt i
won six to one in his home county of |.
Gila
In Phoenix 100 Socialist ballots
were thrown out because the name |,
of Hunt had been written in as a
candidate for governor. This is not
permissible under the Arizona pri- u
mary law. [
: Mrs. Frances Willard Munds, leader
of the suffragists in Arizona, was de-
feated for the state senate in Yava- II
PAL county. Mrs. Edith Ruffner,
candidate for recorder in Yavapai, lost
by narrow margin to L. s. Col
well.
$4,000 Votes Cast.
About 10000 votes were cast and at
least 80 percent were democratic.
There is nothing to indicate how many
women voted but the feminine ele- z
ment was quite active around the
polls in Phoenix Stories of blund-
ers made by women are numerous.
One wanted to take her ballot home
and mark it there. Another took a In
friend into the booth with her to
show her how to vote. Still an
other insisted that Progressive"
voter mark a Democratic ballot. It,
These are the popular ones today" j
she said. In Prescott a woman voted la
1t the Republican primary in one
ward and then tried to vote as
Democrat in the next. She explained lily
hat she wanted to be wholly impair ST
ial
Charges that Republicans voted at
he Democratic primaries Just to
lelp their Democratic friends get nomi
ated, are widespread. There appear az
d to be no doubt that this was done Ii,
u few isolated cases, at least. 'N
