centage of registered voters went to the polls on that occasion in the history of Phoenix. if the same ratio obtains as the coming primaries an even heavier vote will be recorded this year.
 Under the election laws there must be two candidates for each office to be filled. A candidate receiving at the primary election majority of all the votes cast for any office is. elected at the primaries. This means that, with Peter Corpstein, mayor, and Frank Woods, commissioner, candidates for the office of mayor, that one or the other will be elected at the primaries unless there should be tie vote. It is also possible that with but five candidates for the office of commissioner, two of these may receive majority ot all the votes cast, thereby also being elected and removing the necessity for general election.
 The next few days will be busy ones in the office of City Clerk Frank. Thomas for between now and March i, the day of election, the polling books must be made up and the voters names placed in their respective precincts. These must then be printed and be in readiness for the use of the polling place officials on the morning of the primary election. With the heavy registration. this is something of task and will re- quire the work of several clerks practically every day from now until the primary election is held.

BOWIE Feb 1S.-In a binding snow and sleet storm which is one of the worst in the histor of southeastern Arizona, the posses pursuing Tom and John Powers and Tom Sisson tonight continued on the trail of the three men wanted for the murder of Sheriff Me Bride and Deputies Kempton and Wootan regardless of weather condi- tions.
 A fresh pack of blood hounds from Globe was dispatched to the sheriff $ posse at midnight last night. A long distance telephone message received here tonight stated that these blood hounds, followed by Sheriff Slaughter of Greenlee county and his posse, had struck a fresh trail in the snow at the head of Turkey and Rock creeks, on the west slope of Summit mountain The message added that the outlaws were apparently only a few hours ahead of this posse and were heading northeast toward the head of Cave creek.
 Men familiar with the Summit mountain country tonight predicted that. if the outlaws remain on the summit tonight. it will be easy for the A0ache Indian trailers from the San Carlos reservation to pick up their trail in the morning by the tracks in the fresh snow. These Indian traileIV were selected from the entire San Carlos reservation for their ability as trailers and are the best in the state.
 It was also predicted here tonight that the outlaws would be overtaken and either captured or killed tomor- row as the snow is expected to make their escape almost impossible
 A carload of fresh horses arrived here at noon today and were rushed to the front to take the places of the fatigued animals which the posse: have been riding. A number of meI

uncalled for strikes not only threaten the safety of our armies in France, but the very heart of labor itself through the reduction of employment which is faced by millions of men not engaged directly in shipyard work.
 For this reason a shipyard strike is in effect a lockout, aimed at all labor in the country and threatens the very life of organized labor itself
 Own Interest at Stake
 "I wish therefore, TOW, that the president has personauy taken action in the carpenters strike to point out to employees and to members of organ ized labor throughout the country that their own interests are vltalIy at stake in this shipping matter. and that the whole force of their mighty influence must for their own protection be used to keep the shipyards running full time and block any attempt to paralyZe the nations business through strikes and trust the labor adjustment board to deal fairly with them.
 This war can be won through con- struction this year of 9,S00,000 tons of shipping by the United States and the allies. This amount will not only over- come the submarine but also will leave a margin necessary to transport and care for 100000 American troops overseas
 There is but one thing ahead-a forced showdown in American factories until the ships are built. Not only arc ports and docks jammed with supplies for overseas, but there are also in Atlantic coast termina1s alone more than thirty thousand cars loaded with supplies for Europe"

THIRD AIR RAID IS
 STARTED IN LONDON
 IN AS MANY NIGHTS
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

LONDON, Feb. IS. Hostile air planes are attempting a raid against London again tonight making the third raid in as many nights. No damage or casualties are yet reported.
 An official statement issued at mid night says:
 Hostile aircraft crossed the coast shortly after nine o'clock tonight and proceeded toward London. None of the raiders penetrated the defenses. and so far there has been no damage and no casualties"
 The text of the official statement concerning Sunday nights air raid over London says:
 'The casualties caused by last nights air raid were: Killed, men IS; women 3: total 16.
 Injured: Men 27; women 10; total g."
 One of the bombs dropped hit a hotel, killing six or eight persons who were in q street nearby watching the progress of the raid. No one in the hotel received worse injuries than few scratches. Three servants. who went outside a few moments before, were killed, as were persons standing on the sidewalk, who were struck by the wreckage.
 Have Narrow Escape
 taXicab from which two fares" had just alighted and the driver of which had crossed the street to q refreshment stall, was smashed to atoms.
 London is growing indifferent to air raids. On both Saturday and Sunday nights, when the bright moon caused the people of the metropolis to believe that beyond peradventurc an aerial attack would be made on the capital, the people went about their business and their pleasures as usual Nothing out of the ordinary happened even when the anti-aircraft guns began barking. Few bombs dropped in the city either Saturday or Sunday night. ! Sunday nights raid again proved how the air defenses of London con stantly are improving. The work of | both the gunuers and the airmen seems to have been the best yet shown.
 One raider coming through Kent met sucn a tremendous gunfire that he abandoned his attemet to reach the capital. Another raider was beat en off by an airman, who fought him for a long time.
 ] As usual there were narrow escaptS from bombs which burst in tie gar dens of residences, the occupants of which received only scratches from flying debris or slight cuts from the glass of broken windows.
