United States marshall for this sec
 ion of the state of Arizona, says the
 .eport that he has retired from the Democratic race for sheriff is fostered
 by those who would desire it. McDon.
 lld declares, in no uncertain terms, that he is a candidate, and will be at
 he September primary.
 If you vote at the primary 1t will be
 ecessary that you first register. The
 treat Register is now open for that
 arpose. It will close at $500 p. m.
 3n September 1st-ten days before
 e primary election. On September
 3 the Great Register will again be
 pen and will remain open until De- .ober 14. It is not sufficient that your name is HOW upon the register. This is a new registration-the old one does not enable you to vote.
 From now until late in the summer the people of the state and Of every subdivision of the state will be doin' politics. A great many native sons, eastern and western sons, and, per haps, few daughters, will be before the public bidding for support.

 Bisbee people who will attend the Republican National Convention at Chicago beginning June ', as inter ested spectators, include Dr. F. E.. Shine and Dr. George A. Bridge. The former will be on his way to the east and the latter will be returning to his duties in the District.
 Three thousand were registered for the city election in Bisbee. This is practically the same number register ed for the election two years ago. From all surface indications 1t would appear that there are more people in the city today than in the past several years, making larger registration. One factor, however, which may have entered into the registration figures is that a great many of the people who have only done so in the past nine months and consequently have not been here long enough to qualify as voters. For the fall elections much arger registration can be expected.
 Some Republican convention figures showing the size of that gathering in Chicago are published herewith:
 Delegates attending the Republican 9S5.
 Alternates attending the Republi ,an convention, 9S5.
