FOR THE INFORMATION
Of ARIZONA VOTERS

The Republican prints below :,
plain digest of the election laws of
| this state, concerning which there
has been some misrepresentation. In
| view of the fact that at the last
election for a governor the progress
| give party had not come into exist
ence, and in view of the further fact
that no governor was voted for two
years ago, there has been some doubt
as to the manner in which the names
! Of progressive candidates should be
submitted to the people, the follow
ing opinion has been secured from
Assistant Attorney General Hardy:
| Progressive candidates for the
legislature shall obtain at least 3 per
cent of the party vote in such coun-
ty, but not more than ten per cent
of the total vote of the party desig-
rated in such county, upon their
nomination papers.
Candidates for county office
shall obtain at least 3 per cent. of
the party vote in such county, but
more than ten per cent of the total
vote of the party designated in such
county.
| Candidates for precinct offices
shall obtain at least 5 per cent. Of
he party vote of such candidate in
the precinct
Since there has been no progressive
vote for governor, Mr.. Hardy ad-
vises: The vote for the democratic
! governor at the last election at
which a governor should be elected
should be used as a basis by the
progressive party for computing its
| percentages
