 At the meeting of the Republican State Committee held at Douglas July &, Lieut. Maddock was unani mouslv endorsed for congress An drew Baumcrt, IT,, secretary of the State Committee, was requested tol cable for his consent. Mir Baumert has just received a cablegram from Lieut. Maddock consenting to make the race.
 Lieut.. Naddock is one of the best known citizens of the state. He was chairman Of the Republican State Committee in 1916, conducting the Campbell campaign. He made a splendid record as a member of the first state legislature from CocOnino county. He volunteered last Febru- arv. trained at American University, was commissioned first lieutenant and sailed for France in May.
 Mir. Maddock's home is in Williams. Mrs. Maddock and their four children are living in Phoenix until the war is over and Mir Maddock returns.
 A number Of prominent Democrats in the state are openly supporting MT. Naddock because of his war views and his splendid qualifications. He has won a high reputation as al man of action.
 It has developed that a good manyi blank ballots for the primaries and the instructions accompanying them, which have been sent to soldier vot CTS in both the army and navy ser vice will not reach their destination. Return cards are being received at, the offices Of the boards of supervi- 1 sors from army camps and canton mcnts bringing the information that the addresses of the soldiers are not known and they are not there. In | most cases they have been transfer rcd to other points. Many Of the | soldiers who have gont out within the last month have taken their bal | lots with them, to be filled out and | returned upon their arrival at their | destination, and some have washed their hands of the whole business by voting and leaving their ballots with
 tho local board The soldiers vote l will be largely farce. as under the
 system adopted by the legislature i rot 10 per cent of them will get to vote.
 Republicans in many counties arc devOting their energies to getting | good legislative candidates in the field. Word comes from Santa Cruz that Dr. Ray Ferguson will again be a candidate for the state senate. He represented that county in the last senate. Frank T. Barry. one of the
 most successful lawyers in the south crn part oi the state. will be 9 candi- l date for the lower house from Santa | Cruz coartv on the Republican tic kct In Pima county Albert R. | Buchanan. member of the last house, | and son Of former Mayor Henry | Buehman of Tucson, will be a candi- 1 date for the state senate. Albert | Buchman was born in Tucson, and | has splendid record. His colleague | on the ticket will be Fred O. Goodell. | who made fine record as member | of inc last senate from Pima county. | Both of these men seem certain of election. Frank P. Moore. former | member of the Livestock Sanitary Board. and Bassctt Watkins, two of the best known men in Cochise county. will be the Republican nom- inees for the senate in that county. l
 Democratic papers are largely ig- norirg Lamar Cobb and the speeches which he ie making all over the state Cobb directs some pretty bard shots at the other Democratic candidates for governor. His particular meat is Wiley Jones. whose machinations he exposes in good style Cobb is i speaking from trucks and soap boxes. Having been on the inside of the Hunt administration for the past four of five years, he is pretty familiar with its workings, and some of the things he is saying arc worrying the governor and his followers.
 Latest estimates place Fred Colter far in the lead in the Democratic primary It is now freely predicted that Golfers majority will be from 3.OO0 to 4000. and that he may ob- iain a majority over all of the other candidates at the primary All of his opponents. Sutter, Osborn and Cobb admit that Golfer is the man they have to beat. because he has the support of the Hunt machine All of these gentlemen believe that they will run second ii not first al the pri- mary. The best informed men in the party believe that Suttcr or Osborn will be second man, but far behind Colter. The radicals are supporting the Hunt favorite to man.
 Tom Campbell recently concluded a tour of AIohavc county. during which he visited nearly every pre- cinct south of the Colorado river
 From Nohayc he went to Gila county and will scpend the rest of his time uBil the primary in the southern
 part of the state He is not making any speeches. but is dcvoting his time to calling on as many of his old
