PROGRESSIVES MAKE START IN WRITING
 THEIR STATE SLATE

PHOENIX, Aug. 1.-For governor J. l.. B. Alexander for United States senator, George . Young; for school superintendent, Mrs D. N Phillips
 This is as far as the Progressives have gone in arrangeing a state ticket, although less than three weeks remain for the petitions of candidates to be filed Dwight B. Heard and the other leaders are working with might and main to dig up candidates to lead a forlorn hope, but they are meeting with scant success. A week ago the plan was to nominate E. S. Clark of Prescott for governor and Heard for senator Captain George B. Wilcox of Phoenix, was mentioned for secre- tary of state.
 The plan to run Clark for governor was knocked over the left field fence | by Clark himself who told Heard and Alexander that there was nothing bO- ing with Elias. All of which gives the IProgressives another cause Co believe | that Clark's bull moose horns are only stunted sprouts.
 | Harry B. Wilkinson, one of Heard's right hand men in Phoenix, was picked On next The idea of running for gov ernor was preached to Wilkinson gent ! ly and he shied like a mountain colt 1 Finally he gave his consent but only on condition that Mrs Wilkinson, who was in California; approved But an
 emphatic wire from Mrs Wilkinson sent the leaders scurrying about for another candidate.
 Alexander, who is chairman of the state committee and a former Rough Rider. is now slated to be the guber- material candidate unless some other arrangement is made Some Prog l gressives think that he would stand a chance to be elected attorney gener- Ial
 Heard had a rush of brains to the
 head and decided he would not run for
 senator. For long time it was re- garded as settled that Heard would be the senatorial nominee. In explaining
 his determination not to run for any . office, Heard mentioned various long
 and sundry knives which divers and
 sundry persons have been whetting ! up in preparation for the campaign. l Just to be mean, he is not going to
 give them a chance to use one knife ! one teenty bit On him.
 So the embryonic toga is settling
 gracefully over the portly form of D George U Young mayor of Phoenix. !, It is realized that Young has made | himself unpopular by his course in the mayors chair but the claim is made
 that there is a reaction in his favor ,- As yet Young has not stated definitely 2 that he will be out for the senate but y he is so near persuaded that he may O plunge into the race any day e Mrs. Phillips, secretary of the Phoe
 nix Y. NJ. c. PA, has consented to run if for school superintendent This i. a regarded as a strong bid for the votes o of women. Mrs Phillips may be tho V only woman candidate for state office if this year
 Captain George B. WillcoX, Rougl
 Rider and secretary in charge of tn, |, local Progressive headquarters, is t, !, be nominated for sheriff of Marcopi a county. Rev C. H. Dains of Temp. 5 will make the race for the state sen u ate. The committee of 20 recently ap " pointed to arrange a county ticke claims to have several other candi u dates pledged
 At a county rally held in Phoenix .e Wilkinson and R. l.. Morgan spoke re s gretfully of the lack of a we'll definel lt issue on which to oppose the demo
 crats and urged that the progressiv
 party come out in favor of statewid
