DRAFT BOYS CANNOT
 JOIN THE NAVY NOW
(From Thursdays Dsilvl

The local exemption board yester- day received notification from the adiutant general that on and after the receipt of the message, no more re- leases should be issued to rcgistrants permitting them to join the navy, the marine corps or the emergency fleet gangs. The rcgistrants of both the 1917 and 1918 classes are included.
 \ great many of the draft boys. especially those in the class of 1918, preferred the navy to the army. and during the past few months the en- listments in the various departments of the sea service have been unusual ly heavy so far as the local naval re cruiting office was concerned. Ii is believed that the lid was put on this sort of thing to prevent the lists of the exemption board from being cut up by having a large number of the prospective soldiers out of reach when they were needed for shipment in the contingents which leave the county from time to time.

STRINGENT RULES
 WILL GOVERN DAIRYMEN

PHOENIX. July 24 - Stringent rules are to govern the production and handling of all dairy products in Arizona, according to w. A. Barr, the new dairy commissioner, but all to the good of the business and the great benefit of the consumers.
 Mir. Barr now is located in his new office in the residence at the south west corner of Sixteenth avenue and Washington street recently vacated by the state engineers department. He had prepared rules and regula- tions supplementing the dairy law which cover the production, manuiac~ turc and handling Of dairy products.
 Among the rules of importance to producers are requirements for the thorough cleansing of utensils. hous- ing of scparators and other utensils, branding of milk cans with the own CTS identification mark and provid- ing for clean water for dairy stock and cleansing of utensils.
 For producers of milk for con- sumption these rules are supplement- ed by the requirement. of license which may be secured from the city health officer or from the dairy com miSsiOnerS. the use of bottle filters and mechanical cappers in bottling milk at the farm, examination of all cows in the dairy herd by compe- tent veterinarian each year. and the maintaining of their premises so that a creditable score can be given at any time inspection may be made.
 or particular interest to manufac turers of dairy products are the re- quirements of securing a license to operate a plant. such license being granted after an inspection of the premises by the dairy commissioner: the use of none other than standard ized glassware, tested, improved and stamped: accurate work in sampling and testing all dairy products and maintaining the plant and all equip mcut in sanitary condition at all times. All testers of milk and cream are required to secure licenses after they have passed an examination showing they are proficient in this work. Mir. Barr said yesterday in eN- plaining the provisions of the new dairy law.
 Of particular interest are the rules relating 10 hotels and restaurants and other large handlers of food. Accord ing to these regulations, all hotels, restaurants. boarding houses. confec- tionaries and other places handling dairy products must make sure that such products meet the butter fat standard and the requirements off sanitation prescribed in the dairy law. They must store dairy products apart from other food products, as dairy products readily absorb any and all odors that are nearby.
 Copies of the dairy law soon will be off the press and available to all those interested, Mir. Barr declared.

 In denying the motion for the writ in question, Judge Sweeney said:
 ''The court feels that in case any irregularities crept into the trial they were harmless ones and ones which in no way could affect the outcome of the case. The defendant has had an unusually fair and impartial trial and the court cannot see the neces- sity for signing such an order as that which the defense has asked for. '

HUNTS CHOICE SURE ID WIN
 NOMINATION
DOPESTERS FIGURE OUT THAT COLT E R WILL COME OUT OF PRIMARY TWO TO ONE AHEAD OF OPPONENTS.
Especial to the Journal-Miner.)

PHOENIX, July 26.-That Fred T. Golfer will carry eight counties in the state primary election on Sept. 10th and will easily land the Demo- cratic nomination for governor is the prediction of man who has just re- turned from a trip through the state. He is a man who is taking no inter est in the Democratic fight this year.
 The counties which Golfer will car " according to the best advices are Apache, Navajo. Coconino, Mohave. Yavapai, Gila, Yuma and Grecnlee. He will obtain his largest pluralities in Yavapai, Gila, Yuma and Green lee. Gila alone is expected to give him 1900. Grecnlee 500, Yuma 500 and the northern counties will pile mp good sized maiorities for the Hunt favorite.
 According to men best posted in party affairs in their counties Moeur will carry three counties, Graham. Pima and Pinal, F. w. Cokcr is ex- pected to turn Pinal county to him. He will get a good plurality in Pima county and Graham county IS strong for him. Hunt will not get cor porals guard for his choice in this county.
 Sutter will have to be content with Cochise county where he is expect ed to get a majority of 1000 accord ing to the best Democratic sources.
 Sid Osborn is given Maricopa county by small majority and Santa Cruz county according to the best prognosticators. Mbeur will run sec ond in Maricopa and Golfer third al though it will be a close race between them for second place and Osborn's s lead is not by any means secure. Moeur would carry it against Colter with Osborn out or Osborn would have a good lhd with Moeur out. Sutter's strength in Maricopa is disap- pointing ard his lack of support is probably due to the fact that he is little known among the rank and file.
 Cobb. despite his flamboyant tao tics. will not carry a single county.
 The following is a table of the esti- mated pluralities each candidate will receive in the primary.

VOTE WILL
 NOT BE FORMIDABLE
lFrom Wednesdays Daily.)

The absent soldiers vote Is not go- ing to cut much of figure in the Yavapai county elections this fall, ac- cording 10 a statement made by Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, R. T. Belcher, yesterday afternoon. While the records in that office show that the names and addresses of S7o sold icrs have been obtained. it is believ- ed that so many of the boys are now overseas that the number who will be in a position to cast their ballots at either the primary or the general cleo ton will not exceed 100.
 C. II. Hinderer, chief clerk in the office Of the local exemption board, who has been keeping a rather close tab on the movements of the men who have joined the army from this county, states that there are practi- cally none of the home boys left in either Camp Kearny or Camp Funs- ton. all or them having been ordered overseas. One hundred and forty of the home boys were sent to Camp Cody. Y. M.. but as to whether any of this bunch remains there it is rather hard 10 say just now. The contin- gent that left for Camp Fremont, Calif.. in the spring has been broken up. some of the troopers going to other cantonments and some being sent abroad.
 The supervisors records show that Prescott has lost 190 of her voters by reason of the drafts and the voluntary enlistments, Jerome being next with I67 missing voters and Clarkdale third with a total Of l3o.

REPUBLICANS ACTIVE
 FOR THOS. CAMPBELL
From Thnr.dav's Tlailv.l

Friends of Tom Campbell arc work ing all over Arizona to see that every possible voter is registered. It is known that a large proportion of the thousands who have come into the State in the last two years are oppos- ed to Huntism and everything 1t stands for. There has been gen cral specialization of feeling among citizens of the better class, without regard to party, that Campbell should be elected in 1918. r1nsfact, the Camp bell managers have been advised that in at least two of the southern coun ties that gave Hunt majority two years ago, majority can be counted on for Campbell now.
 The organization members are de voting themselves to the registration of Democrats as well as Republicans. They feel that what Campbell repre- scnts is what majority of the vot- CTS of Arizona stand for and will vote for.
 The registration committee ap- pointed for Yavapai County consists of F. s. Clark. Harry Heap, LeRoy Anderson. II. ]. Meany and r. R. Mines. They have chosen Aaron H. Powers as registration manager.
 Every effort will be used to sec that each precinct is awakened to the necessity of getting busy and choos- ing the best man available for office If there are any "sleepers" among the citizens of Arizona on November 5th, it will not be because they haven't been given chance to regis for and vOte

(From Thursdays Daily)

Joseph Tandrew brakeman em- ployed on the Verde Valley railroad, met death yesterday afternoon at about 200 o'clock in horrible man ncr when his head was severed from the body as hc was engaged in switching work at Puntenney.
 While there was only one eye-wit- ness, a small Mexican boy, it is the general belief of others employed that Mr Tandrow's rawhile strap buckled to his pants with keys at tached to the end became fastened to the rung of the ladder as he was getting down from the moving car when he was thrown under wheel Having q light foothold and while climbing down at a rapid pace it re- quired but a slight jar under the cir cumstanccS for him to lose his bal ancc.
 According to railroad people this is one of the most peculiar accidents ever known and is without parallel in operating circles Judge McLane held an inquest, and accidental causes were given as the reason of death. The deceased had been working out of Clarkdale to Cedar Glade for about q year, and was highly regarded as an efficient and careful railroad em- ployc He was transferred from the coast division of the Santa Fe and leaves a wife and son at Clarkdale. The body was taken to that city for burial. He was aged about 40 years. He affiliated with the Masons and Elks. and enjoyed splendid name for his fine fellowship in and out of railroad circles.

Merrick passed away yesterday forenoon at 1l:l0 o'clock at the Pioneers Home. Those who were with her during the long illness speak in admirable terms Of her heroic efforts to avert the inevi- table, and yet when she realized hope was gone, with a resigned demeanor she said she was ready to go.
 The death of Mrs. Mcrrick calls away another prominently known pioneer woman who for over forty years had made her home in Prescott In early days she will be pleasantly remembered as one of the talented women in Arizona in her line of liter ary work. Her poems attracted wide attention. and she contributed to many of the leading magazines, win ming high rcnown for her altruistic ideas. Her home life was also con sistently followed along these lines, and her generous nature knew no limit. There are many instances which can be recalled wherein this benevolent woman figured conspic- uously in her charitable work, her sacrifices being many. She contribut- ed many articles in the long ago strongly advocating woman suffrage, and as well was she an ardent be- lever in temperance.

This gives Golfer nearly three thousand majority over Sutter and leaves Mocur and Osborn trying for third place. Moeur has better chance than Osborn to pick up votes in Maricopa and force Sutter into third place Colter has a splendid chance to increase his plurality in Mohave where the Hunt forces are strong.
 Altogether the nomination of Col ter seems foregone conclusion. He goes into the race with l2OO0 solid Hunt votes behind him and this is a big handicap in his favor
