Another Withdrawal

THE withdrawal Of Lamar Cobb from the Arizona contest

not surprise. It had been expected since
the withdrawal of ". A Moeur couple of weeks ago II
seemed fairly evident that Mr. Cobbs nomination
tremely unlikely that his continuance the
dered probable the nomination of Fred T Golfer
whose aspirations Gov George W P Hunt has given the
support Of his faction.
As Nh. Moeur is conservative also is M Cobb So
also Messrs Sidney P Osborn and Fred Suffer The
two last named remain IN the against Mr. Golfer II
to be taken for granted therefore that the friends Of
Nj Cobb will vote either for Suffer Osborn. Cobbs
support lies mainly in Arizona He comes

part Of the state but they VIII cultivate friendships there
from
Unfortunately for their cause, while Mr. Golfer like
wise is little known in eastern Arizona Gov Hunt is very
well known there Particularly he possesses considerable
popularity among the labor element in the ChtonMorenc
district and the Gobeiai district If he suggests vote
for Golfer lets be known that Golfer has his support
Golfer will get the vote.
The farther the Democratic contest goes the more ap-
parent becomes that those who opposed the radical
policies which have been In vogue in Arizona, have fight
their hands if they hope to nominate in oppo
sition to those policies
About their best chance is to prevail upon Mr. Suffer
Mr. Osborn to withdraw persuade them to toss up
coin to which shall drop out Of the race then unite
the remaining asprant and back him against Mr. Golfer
Otherwise, Mr. Golfer stands first class chance of be-
ing the Democratic candidate TO oppose the unanimous
choice Of the Republicans, Thomas E Campbell Even then
the day would not be lost for all conservative Democrats
could elect Nj. Campbell and Arizona of a good
