ear OI OlitlCS.
 The opening gun in city politics, consisting of the primaries, will be fired March 2S. This is the sense of legal notice published in the Review this morning. It provides for the cleo tion of a mayor, two councilmen, from each of the three wards, city clerk, city marshal, supervisor of streets and various city, party committees.
 Though for several weeks there has been some movement on foot among verious acknowledged candidates, and those in the prospective, nothing of ficial has been done. With the date of the primaries now legally fixed as March 2S and the general election at May P, the air in Bisbee during the balance of the spring will be sur chared with political atmosphere.
 Explanatory of the various phases of the primary election, City Attorney E. J. Flanigan has written the follow ing letter to City Clerk Nj. L.. Butler:
 Nj. L. Butler, City Clerk.
 Dear Sir: Answering your reuest for information as to forthcoming city primary and regular biennial election, beg to advise:
 The regular biennial election for elective officers it is to be held on May 22nd
 Upon receipt hereof you will cause to be published for three consecutive weeks a notice of a primary elect ion to be held on March 18th, in the man her prescribed by Sec. 3011 of the Civil Code.
 Those desiring to become condi- dates at such primary election must, in order to have their names printed twenty nor more than sixty days prior to such election, file nomination peti- tion and papers in your office as pro vided by Secs. 3012 and 3o13. This. you will see. means that from now on papers may be filed and that the last day on which to make such filing is March 8th.
 Not less than twelve days before the primary, that is to say, not later than March 16th. you must prepare the sample official tickets required by Sec. 3017.
 It is well that candidates be inform ad hx- hot at filing their nomination petitions, they must also file the statement required by Sec. 3029, giving the names of persons through whom their campaign expend- uures will be made, and within ten days after such election they must file the verified itemized statement of expenditures required by Sec. 3030. At such election there will also be chosen the members of the city party committee. as provided in Sec. 3044e
 The qualifications of voters at such election are prescribed in Sec. 3042, being briefly: The person desiring to vote must be a qualified elector of the precinct, and duly registered therein, and have been a resident of such pre- cinct thirty days prior to such cleo tion
 This brings us to the question of ascertaining who are such qualified voters: and when and where such re- gistration must be made.
 By Sec. 1922. the Council is given power to require new registration every two years. This power will un' doubtedly be exercised by the Council. and the registration will under the law begin within sixty days before and close ten days before the regular city election. that is to say. such re- gistration will begin not earlier than March 24th and end on May 18th.
 Those. therefore. who are not on the city register of 1914. much. in order to vote at the forthcoming prim- ary. register between March 2Ath and the time of voting on March 2Sth. and snpply the election officers with the affidavit or certificate of such reRistar- ton mentioned in Sec. 3042. Ii should be borne in mind. however, that no one may vote at the regular election on May 22nd who does not register this year. new registration being ordered. Registration in 1914
