METHOD GOVERNING
 ALL NOMINATIONS BY
 PETITION MADE PLAIN
Secretary Osborn lnterprets the Statutes for the Benefit of
 Prospective Candidates.

PHOENIX, July 2-Apropos Of Che open season for filing nominating po- uuons. which begins July and con. unues until August IS. Secretary of State Sidney P. Osborn yesterday gave out the rules and regulations governing the preparation of same.
 The law provides that petitions for nomination for all state and federal offices must be signed by not less than one nor more than ten per cent of the total number of votes cast for governor by the party Co which candi. date for nomination belongs the ur. ures being taken from the last cloc. tion returns. Signatures to Che nomi. hating petitions must be secured from at least three counties. and must not run over the ten per cent limit In any one county.
 For example, the total vote cast for the demoCrauc candidate for governor at the last election was 11123. and a candidate for nomination for state office or for United States congress on the democratic ticket will therefore have to secure at least III signatures ! to his petition, and not more than 1ll2 ten per cent of the vote east A cam didate for nomination on the socialist ticket would take the total vote cast for governor for his partys candidae. which was 1247, and secure the noces- sary per centage Of that number in signatures.
 The regulations governing nominat ing petitions for county offices are to . the effect that not less than three per cent of the total vote cast by the party in the county at the last election must . be represented on the petition, and
 not more than ten per cent as in tho
 state regulations.
 Candidates for nomination to state l offices can secure signatures from as
 many counties as they please. the only
 provision in this respect being tha
 the signatures must be distributed
 over at least three counties Ther,
 are a few cases where, in order to SC
 cure the necessary one per cent O votes cast, a candidate working il
 some of the more sparsely settle, ! counties. for nomination to a state O federal office might have to go outsid, | of three counties to get the require, f number of signatures. but this is no \ likely to occur often.
 For the information of prospectiv candidates, the official returns b. ! counties Of the first state election a given out by the secretary of stat | are published herewith.

WOULD CHANGE LAW TO
 PROTECT WHITE WINGS
Game Birds in Danger of Exter-
 mination Says arden.

pHOENtN. July 2.-Oue of the re- commentators which e. M Willard, Che new state game warden, Is plan ming to make Co Che next legislature. is that the open season for whitewings open July 10 or August l instead of June l.
 Thewhitewings. SO numerous a few years ago and still to be found by the hundreds of thousands. are yet in dan ger of eXtermination. Warden Willard declared. Though they are numerous stin so many are being killed that Che effect is already discernible Co observ- ing persons, Willard says
 There is a general belief that the whitewngs nest in northern Mexico before they come to Arizona. early in the summer. Willard believes, how. ever, that Arizona is the principal nesting ground for the pigeons. They cannot possibly raise their bro0ds by the first of June and he thinks that they should be protected at least a month longer
 Numerous persons have told War den Willard of having found white wing nests in Arizona. The nests are the same in appearance as those oi the ordinary turtle doves.
 Whitewinps and Arizona quail have no superiors as game birds. Willard declares. and he advocates giving them every reasonable protection.

ROOSEVELT SPEAKS
ON THE BIG WAR

New York, Aug. 7-Ex-President
Theodore Roosevelt, toward the close
of his speech at the National Pro-
gressive party's state conference here,
touched on the European war situa-
ton. He said:
81 regret that of recent years the
policies which | and those like me
believed to be essential for the well
fare, the honor and the greatness of
American people have not been
more faithful carried out. But all
that is past now and is neither here
nor there in this crisis. At the mo-
ment the United States, as one of
the great nations of the world, faces
crisis which has already involved
in war almost all the other great ma
tions Of the world. Friends, we have
our troubles here, but let us be thank
full beyond measure that we are citi-
zcns Of this republic and that our bur
dens, though they may be heavy, are
far lighter than those that must be
borne by the men and women who
live in other and less fortunate coun-
tries.
~, for one, will act and l am sure
! am stating your feelings when |
say ,hat the men and women Of the
Progressive party will act, through
cut this crisis, primarily as American
citizens, and viii work hand in hand
with any public man, with any pub
lie servant and with any and all pri-
vatc citizens who, in good faith and
disinjerestedly, wishes to see the Unit
ed States come through this crisis un-
harmed and so conduct herself as to
.consetve the honor and the interests
of her own citizens and, as far as
may he, to help in securing peace and
justice for all the nations of man
kind.

TO Press Subscribers.

The big European war has i'm
posed on the newspapers Of the
county heavy burden in the form
of telegraph tolls, if the news
papers perform their full duty.
This the Press proposes to do,
even though the expense is far be-
y0nd that ordinarily met by n
newspaper in a small town.
The telegraph service presented
in the Press is only equalcd in
Southern California by Los Ange-
les and San Diego papers, and ii
is necessary that this should b.
SO, for outside Of this valley all
the towns can get the news only
from the newspapers OF those
cities.
II is impossible, however, fer the
Press to give this expensive serY-
ice at the old subscription price,
and consequently the subscription
rate for the Press is made so cents
month, or $500 a year.
Those having paid in advance
will get the paper for the full time
paid for.
Those now taking the paper will
be charged the new rate from Sep
tember /.
All new subscriptions will be at
the new rate.
Year by year the Press is he
coming a better newspaper, and
the war has prccipitated need FOR
further Improvement, which we be-
lieve all will cOncede has been we'll
met by the Press.
