 In a selepnonic communication to the Douglas International Wednesday afternoon MT. Olney made the follow ing statement which goes to show that he is a good loser:
 T think the democrats of Arizona have again made Gov. Hunt their candidate for reelection. This I con- cede and in doing so desire to thank my friends throughout the state for their loyal support. I am proud of the efforts put forth in my behalf by old friends whom I have known so long. For those who have opposed my nomination by fair means I have no political i'll will and now that the primary fight is over, desire to see a reunited democracy in Arizona. There is something more to the democratic party than the ambitions of any man and I hope the party strength will not be weakened as a re- suit of my candidacy" The County Contest. The Hunt and Olney forces had been lined up in Greenlee county in formidable array and the fight was waged relentlessly on both sides with the result that Hunt came out la winner here by the small majority of 1S6 in the, county, his total being 1916, while Olney received S7O The union vote went almost solidly for Hunt and to this can be attributed his majority.
 The hardest fight in the county outside of that between Olney and Hunt was that between Slaughter and Cash for the office of Sheriff. The contest was bitterly waged from the start and towards the end of the cam- paign both factions were doing their utmost to land their candidate, al outcome was close. Slaughter receiv- ed total of HIS and Cash 1045, giv- ing Slaughter majority of 79 in the county. Morenci, Cash's home town, gave Slaughter a majority of AT, while in return Clifton, Slaughter's home town, gave Cash a majority of I61.
 For State Senator Whipple won over Aker by majority of POI. Coffee and McGrath, for members of the House of Representatives, had no opposition and were nominated by the total of 1876 for the former and 1886 for the latter. Of the six candidates for Supervis- or Moon and Dutton easily led and were nominated by the respective totals of 992 and SS6. There were three candidates for the office of Treasurer, Pickens Anderson the present incumbent being easily renominated, his total being 1876, or more than twice as much as the con- bined total of his two opponents. | Rodney Ellis, candidate for recorder 1 mt
