POLITICAL POT.
4 Only five more weeks, boys, and
the agony will be over-for some of
the candidates at least.
It is quite a distinction these days
to be just plain ordinary voter.
1t begins to look as if Secretary
of State Osborn would have no op-
position in the democratic primaries.
The primary ballot will be approx
mately thirty inches long and twelve
inches wide. Be careful how you
vote.
The poor downtrodden" working
man seems to be going about his
daily labors as usual and from all
accounts has already discarded the
takers in this campaign.
The Socialist party in Greenlee
county will place a full county ticket
in the field with the exception of
County Attorney and Superior Court
Judge.
The house to house canvass is be-
coming popular with several of the
candidates. The woman vote is an
uncertain quantity in this election.

didate for United States senator from
Arizona, is now making a speaking
tour of southern Arizona in the in
terest of his candidacy.
!
] 1t was rumored around Phoenix
last week that Joe Prochaska of
Miami would be the republican NOM
inee for secretary of state, but this
report has been positively denied by
Prochaska.
E. w. Chain, prohibition candidate
for the United States senate, spoke
| in Phoenix to a good crowd last Sun
day afternoon. Mr.. Chain devoted
his time to a discussion of the rail
road problems now confronting the
country.
W. A. Parr of Winslow, who as
pires to the democratic nomination
for state treasurer, was one of the
first candidates for a state office to
file his nomination petition. Mr..
PARIS papers were received at the
office of the secretary of state last
week.
The fellow that heard" so and
so about this or that candidate is
abroad in land. The best cure for
taking him face to face with the can
didate. Then watch him back water.
Candidates are busily engaged in
filing their petitions with the clerk
of the Board of Supervisors these
days. For the relief of all we hope
the legislature will abolish this petit
ton farce.
About the first bill introduced in
the next legislature will be one
abolishing the office of constable in
couny seats. The sheriff and his
deputies can easily perform all the
work required by a justice court.
Lorenzo Hubbell has setteld all
question as to his candidacy for the
republican nomination for United
States senator, by filing his nominal
ing petition. Mr.. Hubbell declares
that he is in the race for keeps and
will stay in the fight until he is
either victorious or defeated.
H. A. Morgan of Wilcox, Lloyd B.
Christy and ]. c. Adams of Phoenix
and J. Knox Corbett of Tucson are

Mr.. Christy could secure the nomina-
ton if he expressed desire to make
the race.

District Commercial club, who is a

atorial aspirant will open his part of

ton in ella county by announcing
himself as an aspirant for the demo
cratic nomination for supervisor of
ella county. Judge Jay Good has

ella county probably has more can
didates for the various offices than
any other subdivision of Arizona.
The nominating petitions of Don |
G. Babbitt, who will seek the demo |
cratic nomination for member of the |
commission, are now be- |
ing circulated throughout the state |
and are being widely signed.
