PRIMARY PROVES ID BE REGULAR
 PANDORA BOX
(From Thursdays Daily.)

kTIOHl 1HuESudy Dal!J.I
 The primary election law of Ari- zona is a wonder. It is easy to get most anything you wish out of it. In the last primary election there turks a new surprise for the county dope sters. Eli s. Parl,ins, who withdrew from the race for county recorder in favor of the widow candidate, Mrs Edith Ruffner, and who had gone back to the private pursuits of life in his store in Crown King, has reached forth into the grand prize grab box, and draws the nomination for the office of State senator.
 While this is strange, it comes about as natural and perfectly legal result of the primary law. A num- Der of Perkins friends in Crown King and Prescott, decided to nominate him for the office of State senator as mark of their approval of his gen erous act in withdrawing from the race for county recorder, in which he had an excellent chance of being elected. This fact is evidenced by the large percentage of Republicans who voted for him in spite of his with drawal The election boards in the City of Prescott erred in not count ing the votes that were cast for Per kins in the primary. but the Crown King board counted the votes accord ing to law, and as a result, his nom ination cannot be disputed. The law requires that candidate who has been nominated for an office for which he was not regularly candidate, shall either accept or reject the nom- ination, and Perkins has given the clerk of the board of supervisors his acceptance in writing.
 The nominee, Eli s. Perkins, is man we'll known in all parts of Yav- apai county, and having served a term in the council under the territorial form of government in 1901, he is well known by many of the leading citi- zens of the State. The fact that he was chosen by the secretary of State, at the solicitation of many of the members of the Twenty-hrst legisla- ture, to assist in arranging, and index ing the 1901 edition of the revised statutes of Arizona, showed that the members of that legislature regarded him as one Of the efficient members of that body. With his years of add cd experience in various walks of life, and his now maturer years, the people of Yavapai will be assured of an able if he is chosen to rep resent them.
 He has shown that he is not preju- diced and that while he is consistent his partisanship is not bitter, and if chosen, will represent the people Of the county. It is known that he is fearless and fair in all mat ters, and that no crowd or clique can handle him, and it is also known that all matters of whatsoever kind will received fair and impartial considera- ton at his hands. There will be no show of bias and prejudice in any matter large or small, and there will | be no policy of obstruction toward | any just measure on account of its origin. Perkins stands for progress and prosperity, for rational reform, sound laws and those that protect the nalienable rights of the people. Hence, he is an ideal candidate for he office of State senate.

TOM MIX, MOVIE HERO, IS SUED
 FOR DIVORCE
FILM QUEEN IS OTHER GIRL" SAYS WIFE OF ACTOR; ASKS FOR $4O0 A MONTH ALIMONY.
(From Sundays Daily)

Naming well known mOtlOn DIG ture actress as the other woman, and declaring that her husband has spent her fortune of S5O,OOO on gay night life, Mrs. Olive Stokes Mix, member of one of the most aristocratic South ern families has filed suit in Los An geles for divorce from Tom Mix, movie star, and leading camera cow puncher.
 The woman whom Mrs. Mix ac- cuses of playing leads in her hus- bands love as we'll as in his screen dramas is Miss Victoria Fordc, film comedienne, and leading woman in Mix's moving picture company at Newhall.
 The complaint also asks for abso- lute custody of their child, Ruth Jane Mix, aged four, who lives with her mother in Hollywood, and for S400 a month alimony.
 Charges Cruelty.
 The beautiful southerner said her husband beat her and was cruel to her on many occasions since their marriage eight years ago in North Dakota.
 More thrilling than any fve-reel scenario in which Mix has been seen upon the screen is the story of love, marriage and millions, revealed by the divorce suit.
 According to Mrs. Mix, who is the niece of Judge Jordan Stokes of Nashville, Tenn, and daughter of the late James H. Stokes, millionaire Southern cattle king, she first met Mix when he was a cowboy on her ranch in Oklahoma. His daring as a rider, his good looks and his adora- tion, she declares, won her, and they were later married against her fam ily's wishes.
 About that time her father died and left her property valued at S50,000. A life of excitement, of wild and thrill ing business ventures and of a sud den desire for a career before the camera followed the acquiring of this wealth, Mrs. Mix declares, and the movies soon broke up the home life and their paths have been separ- ated for two years.
 When we were first married Tom seemed to adore me-" Mrs. Mix said. But prosperity and popularity in the movies soon ended that Sometimes a dozen women would call up for him in an evening.
 "l want to advise every girl never to marry man who is not in her social world. No matter how much she loves him, it will not be happy for they will never under stand each other. When there is no mutual interest and understanding love soon becomes cheap and tawdry as mine did"
 Mrs. Mix says in her complaint that her husband earns S1 900 a week with his company at Newhall and asks for S400 a month for herself and child and also for property worth s25,000, which she declares he now owns.
 The first guns in the legal battle of -he divorce suit will be fired in Judge Houser's court, Los Angeles, on Oc- -ober ?, with Ruth Jane Mix, their Iour-year-old daughter, as the center of contention.
 At that time Attorney Milton NJ. | Cohen, representing Mrs. Mix, will lsk that she be given temporary GUS ody of her child, and that Mix be from interfering with her or with Ruth Jane.
 Ruth Jane will. according to the at orneys in the case, probably be the enter of the fight

COACH HAIDT

Mt. Pleasant, Sept. %. With the
Monmouth college game on the twen-
ty-ninth Of the month looming up
across the horizon, Coach Heidi faces
the difficult problem Of whipping some
kind of a team in shape to meet the
strong Illinois aggregation. Prospects
that looked bright just before the be-
ginning of school have now faded and
instead Wesleyan will this year be
without the services of some OF her
best athletes. Davis, an all around
athlete and star quarter back on the
freshman team last year has been
stricken with typhoid fever and is lost
to the team as is Garrett heavy line
man who showed much promise.
Gooch, the colored lad, who proved
such a tower of strength at end last
year will in all probability be missing
from the lineup as he is still suffering
from serious injuries which he sustain
ed last year. 1t now looks as il this
years football team will be the light
est that has represented the school IN
a number OF years. The line Is green
and inexperienced and their playing
has been anything but satisfactory.

Gr,nnell. Sept. 25.-Although Coach
McAlmon has shut the gates to practi-
cally all the curious ones who wish TO
see his team in action, few priv
legged characters who have managed
tn gain access to Ward field during
the afternoon sessions report that tho
men are rapidly rounding into shape,
and that their chances for a strong
eleven are becoming much brighter.
Daily signal practice Is being held
with occasional scrimmages with tho
yearling eleven. McAlmon is center
ing his attention on filling the holes
left vacant by MacLaren, Parker,
Smalley and the other men who have
not returned this year.
Conditions in the backfield are
booming with Barrett, Watt, Angus.
tine. Fleck, and Grant all IN good
shape. Barrett and Augustine are be-
ing worked hard at the halves with
Grant at full. Augustine will undoubt-
edly do most of the foot-work this fall
with Watt behind the passes.
The first game comes week from
today with Leander Clark and no fears
are being entertained in the Grinnell
camp as to result of this contest.

LiEvES THAT IT Is JUST BE.
ING FOUND OUT NOW.

Des Moines, Sept. 25.-It Is only be-.
genning to be generally known that e.
T. Meredith, the democratic candidate
for governor, is member of the
single tax league, and has taken
strong positions in favor of the theory
in his publication, Successful Farm.
ing" said Charles A. Rawson, chair
man Of the republican state commit.
tee, who has now presided over seven
OF the eleven district conferences that
have been scheduled. "As fast as 1t is
becoming known, 1t appears that the
Henry George theory Of land taxation
is not a popular one among the peo'
pie Of Iowa.
II have observed that there are be.
ing printed lists of newspapers, NOM
inally republican and independent,
purporting to be accurately divided
under heads as those active and in
active with reference to the republi-
can ticket with comments on the
showing. An accurate list will not be
embarrassing to the supporters Of the
republican ticket. but no list Is worth
much from a standpoint of statistics
unless compared with campaigns Of
the past. If it were possible to show
how many of this class of publica-
tons were actively supporting Clarke.
how many were actively supporting
Carroll, and how many were actively
supporting Cummins in their guber-
material contests, the comparisons
would be more interesting, II not more
valuable. from statistician's view
point. The fact of the matter is that
the entire republican ticket is faing
better among the newspapers Of the
state in this campaign than in any
campaign of the last decade, my judg.
ment being based upon my personal
touch with them during the last three
terms l have been chairman and the
general knowledge 1 have obtained In
that position with reference to prior
campaigns.
"Of the $50 publications in Iowa, on
ly a small portion Of those outside Of
the ninety-nine county seats devote
much attention to politics at any time.
Neither l nor anyone in authority
at the republican headquarters has
given out any list with an accurate di.
vision of nominally republican and in.
dependent newspapers. A newspaper
reporter gained access to a partially
checked list, used early in the cam.
paign for correspondence purposes,
and now it is made to appear that we
had given 1t out as our complete com.
pilation."

night and half of it fell over on Court
street, about seventy-fve feet being
down to the ground and the rock
scattered all over the street. The i'm
mediate cause of the tumble, as as
signed by the water company, is the
recent rains which have softened up
the ground. Chairman Picker Of the

has been in an unsafe condition for
some time and the accident was no
