Simmerings Of Political Pot Necessity Mother Early Rag g-Chewing

While no announcements of can ciGacy are expected until spring, and while out in the open discus son among democratic leaders is not tc he looked for until fair week, at least, there Is already a growing un- ze-rur-ent of comment among state leaders in that party. ard lines aIe Icing drawn for what promises to be pitched battle over the nomina- s5ouS- Talk of the gubernatorial race is prevalent, to the exclusion of dis crSSsor over any other office.
 Atout the first published hint that things were stewing in the demo- cratic pot. was the wide publicity given 10 a speech by Hon. Sid Os- horn. secretary of state and can oidate for governor at the Hassa- sampa cIpb outing in Los Angeles. Fere. The impression prevails that osborn is trying his hand at feeling The pa,Se of public sentiment" with a possible object in weaning away some of Governor Hunts support among the labor party.
 There is no secret of the opposition to the Cnomination of MT. Hunt. among the big democrats. In fact there seems to be little chance that hc will run again. unless the candi- dacv If State Auditor I. C. Cal laEhan iS thrown in his face too Ire quertIv. Callaghan's aspirations. hacieG not SO much by influential members of the party, however, are said to te tfe one lever with which ro move the present administration from its supposedly firm determina- rion not to heaye it's hat into the ring a third time.
 That the object of the state demo- cracv next year will be to beat a republican candidate, and that it's energies will all be bent toward that object, is admitted and among the strivers for political preferment, the lucky person will be the one who convlnces the party he will stand the best show of winning. The abili- ~ os any democratic candidate to win by sheer force of the party's rarne- seems to have been lost in the shuffle during the past year.
 Th5s leads to the frequent mention of the name of Wiley Jones. whose whirlwind campaign for attorney general was impressive to lot of democratic leaders. Jones is con- cedcd great strength in vote-getting. but Ee is not an unadulteratcd hit among the conservative electors of his party. Some say he. and he only can beat the man the republicans are discussing.
 Alongside of the name of Jones Is hTacketed that of Henry D. Ross. chief justice of the supreme court Judge Ross has never made any statement about his political ambi : tions. nor is he positively known to hc harhorinE any. His close friends are said to have begun that cam raiEn cf personal urging, popularly supposed to precede the entry of any good citizen into a political struggle. lt IS pointed out to him that should he aspire 10 higher honors than any state office can bring him. he must first serve the commonwealth as it's governor.

PYRENE AGAIN USED
 ID ExTINGU|SH AUTO
 WITH CONFL LAGRATIOh

In some towns, an auto can burn up at its own sweet will, but not in Phoenix. Last night, the big Cole driven by G. Purdy Bullard. essayed to make bon fire of itself. while quietly running along on North Gen. tral avenue.
 The car knew it was on fire cause it was shooting out quite a blaze from underneath. Bullard didn't know it was on fire, as he was driving it and sitting calmly in the front seat, far from the scene of the blaze Conse- quently, he kept right on going, un- til he got in front of the auto ac- cessory shop conducted by Peters and Pemberton.
 Peters had been standing in front of his establishment, and saw the perambulating fire come rolling down the street. Playing no favorites, he rushed into the store, grasped Py- rene extinguisher in his hand, and ambled back to the front to await the approach of the car.
 When Bullard and his superheated outfit came opposite Peters, the gen. tleman wandered out in front, and politely requested Bullard to stop just for a few minutes, for explained Pe terS, your car is on fire, and I would like to demonstrate the possi-

 PICNIC HELD
New York and Pennsylvania State Societies Enjoy Fine Outing, with Games, a Swim and an Old-Fash- toned Supper.

One of the most enjoyable affairs of the season was the joint picnic and swim of the EmpiEe state and Penn sylvania societies yesterday afternoon. The early afternoon was spent in get ting acquainted, and many strangers turned out and received a hearty wei come at the hands of those who had made Arizona their homes tor longer time. Many new members were added to both societies. when gives promise of these two state societies being very active in social affairs during the fall and winter
 A most unique tug-of-war was the feature of the picnic, and five ladies and five gentlemen from each society pulled for three minutes, with the re
 suit that the Empire staters won the contest, which was for Q banquet to be given the winning society by the losers.
 The Pennsylvanians will issue a call
 for the joint banquet later on. and, as odds are TOW even on tug-of-war pulls
 between these two factions, it is hoped
 that at some later date a return meet
 ing can be arranged; also the Empire
 staters issue an open challenge for a
 like tug-of-war from any of the other state societies.
 One or the niftiest stunts was the
 foot race between May Gibb, aged four. of New York City. and Mary
 Kantz. enc year younger, who halls
 from Pernsylvania. Miss Gibb covered
 the fifty yard first and won the event. The much heralded swimming race between J. c. Reed and w. D. O'Neil was declared to he draw when J. C.
 Reed caught O'Neil by the heel and pulled him under the water.
 Mrs. pr Tafel of the Pennsylvani5ns nearly caused a riot, when it was dis covered that just before the pull came off she had tied the Pennsvlvania end of the rope around a cottonwood tree. After the protest subsided and the rio ters were quelled. Mrs. Tafel dared any l, lady in the crowd to a foot race and defeated Mrs. W. NJ. Higgins just for revenge. Age and weight considered, this was a very interesting event. Several foot races between the men and several between the children were decided mostly in favor of the Key stone state.
 In the evening a lunch was spread, this feature being ably handled by Mrs. w. H. McKean. assisted by several of the ladies from both societies. Every one had plenty, and thoroughly en- joyed themselves.

 Chosen All Over the Nation

Taking part in new national move ment for fire prevention. Governor Hunt yesterday issued a proclamation designating october as Fire Preven- tion Day. This day is chosen because it is the anniversary of the most de- structive fire in the history of the country.
 Whereas, in recent years insurance underwriters, civic and commercial or ganizations, working through the Ma tional Safety Federation and similar societies, have earnestly endeavored to obtain the observance of October 9th, the forty fourth anniversary of the Chicago fire. as special day on which measures for the diminishing of the frightful loss which results from de- structive fires whereby the safety of life and property, as well as the gen. eral prosperity of the Nation is directly menaced;
 Now, Therefore, I. Geo. w P. Hunt, governor of Arizona. by virtue of the authority in me vested, do hereby UT gently recommend that october 9th, 1915, be set aside and observed as Fire Prevention Day throughout the state. It is further recommended that on Fire Prevention Day, as Above designated, state, county and city governments, together with all chambers of com merce, boards of trade, civic organiza- tions, commercial clubs and fraternal societies shall unite in the adoption and execution of practical measures for the cleaning up of such public places as in vte a conflagration, and for the fur ther safeguarding of life and property against the danger of fire, that by such precautionary methods the gen. eral welfare of the people of Arizona may be promoted.
 In Witness Whereof, have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the state of Arizona to be affixed
 Done at the City of Phoenix, the Cap ital, this Sth day of September, A. D., 1915.

said, had to be poured into the dish

chipping of the stones, he said, was
due to setting up the columns with
open joints, and over this matter there
was controversy between the con-

The following is the petition:
We, the undersigned, do earnestly
protest against all future use OF the
Pearl street school grounds as play
grounds for children when used as a

The town school board is to give
the petitioners a. public hearing in the

It is understood that one Of the
chief reasons for objection to the use
of the school grounds for Fairgrounds
is through the actions and Language
of group OF larger boys who are
really beyond the Fairgrounds age
and size, but whose rowdy actions
and noisy and offensive language have
reused the whole neigaborhood against
them.
While the town school COMMITTEES
has always been perfectly willing tc
grant the requests of the Fairgrounds
association for the use Of the town
school yards for playground purposes
during the summer months. it has fell
that great damage has resulted to the
school property. Where the residents
are unanimous In objecting to having
the grounds used as they appear TIC
be in this section the school commit
tee has objected to the use Of tbs
grounds FOR Fairgrounds and it is like
ly that these grounds viii be closed
but the hearing viii be given to bring
out the facts upon which the COM
plant is based.
