SOME PRIMARY
 ELECTION FACTS
While But Two of the Three Whose Names Ap- pear on Ballot Are Avow- ed Candidates Others Will be Presented

Despite the fact that there are really but two candidates before the primary election for the two vacan- cies occurring on the city commits sion, all the forms of a primary cleo tion must be carried out in the cleo ton to be held next Saturday in this city. For the two vacancies three names will appear upon the primary ballot-Clinton Campbell, George N. MacBean and o. T. Richey. However, Clinton Campbell is not a candidate for the office, having endeavored to have his name withdrawn after the expiration of the legal period in which this might have been accomplished, and thereafter announcing that he is not seeking the office and that if elected he would not be in a posi- tion to serve efficiently because of probable absence from Phoenix for extended periods. MT. Campbell fur ther stated, as announced recently in The Republican that the petition which resulted in the placing of his name upon the ballot, was circulated without his knowledge or consent, he being in California at the time it was being circulated and at the time of it's filing. It is being talked about the streets that a fourth candidate will be pro- posed by an at present unidentified element that hopes by work at the ] polls to secure the writing in on the ballots of their candidates name suf- | ficiently to at least secure nomina- tion for him. Then, too, there is another element that, despite the plain announcement of Campbell that | he is not a candidate, will work for his nomination. So that the idea that there will be no contest at the | polls on Saturday is entirely errone- ous. It means that every thinking citizen should avail himself or her self of the opportunity to vote on Saturday. and thereby preclude the 1 possibility of having something SID ped over'' because of inertia. l Neither of the avowed candidates are at present making anything re- sembling a serious campaign, put Tn the event of nomination, each has an- nounced a determination to go in for all they are worth for the election. | For the benefit of the voters the following facts concerning the cleo tion boards and the polling places are given.
