Who's Who in Sheriffs

If they stage any races at the coming State Fair with finishes as close as in the race for sheriff on the democratic ticket in Maricopa county someone is going to die of heartfailure. Last night it was Wilky by 12 votes with 8 pre- cincts yet unheard from. An average of a mistake of about one-sixth of a vote to the S4 precincts in the county would change the result and that would be a low average for error in unofficial re- turns.
 Bets will, therefore, be paid when the official count is made-if there are any bets.
 It seems to be the open season for sheriffs. Sheriff Hall of Pinal gets the democratic re-nomination by about half a hundred votes with some few small precincts out.
 Up in Yavapai Robinson is nomin ated for sheriff by the democrats.
 There Are Many Close Ones Judge A. c. Baker, while leading for nomination for the chief justice of the Supreme Court, is not certainly nom- mated. On the returns so far he has about 600 votes to the good. | Ross and Vaughn are making a neck and neck raco with the Maricopa county man less than 100 votes ahed. It shuld also be remembered that Vaughn made runaway race in Maricopa county and that those figures are much more con- plete than those from the balance of the state. His lead is being steadily cut down and Ross is believed by many to | be nominated.
 | Johnson has a lead of about 300 for | Corporation Commissioner but is not | certainly nominated
 Tight For County Clerk
 Bergman has a lead of S9 votes for county clerk with 76 precincts out of S4 counted. His figure is T round 2,4OO to 2.91l for Kingsbury. One or two of the precincts still out for this office are sizable ones but probably not large enough to affect the result.
 Odd Mix-up for State Senator Twenty hours after the primary the exact vote cast for the democratic legislative ticket is not known. No at- tention, except by the persons direct ly interested, the candidates them selves, was given to it on Tuesday night but enough was picked out of the con fusion yesterday to indicate partially the personnel of the ticket.
 Though he had announced his with drawal from the race on account of thu pressure of business, R. A. Saufley wht was on the democratic ballot for stat' senator, headed tie list for that office Either Thomas P. Walton, or C. O. Aus tin, was also nominated. Just wha would be the state of the senatoria ticket in case Mir Saufley persists il his intention not to be a candidate hal not yet been determined. The ticke would probably have to be filled by tn committed
