LAST ROUND OF PRIMARY FIGHT
 IS NOW ON
GOLFER SEEMS TO B E IN THE LEAD FOR NOM NATION, SUFFER AT HIS HEELS AND OSBORN A POOR THIRD.

ndlOrlal pGlllldIl llSul IS OH, anu lnC battle has become very bitter. Golfer is still in the lead and there is every indication that he will be the nominee backed as he is by the Hunt ma chine. Osborn has been hoping to the last that Hunt would throw Col ter down in the eleventh hour, and pass the word for him. Sutter's man. agers have also tried to create the impression that Osborn was pulling from Golfer, but as a matter of fact the secretary of state simply has his personal following, and there remains but one issue in the primary fight. This is between Colter and Sutter, and the betting favors the former. Sutter will probably run a good sec ond, however, and Osborn, Hunts stool pigeon, will run a poor third. Sutter could be nominated if Osborn would split with Colter the Hunt support. but the word has been pass ed by the machine to stay with the Apache senator, and Hunt has even gone so far as to pass Golfers cards, as well as those of Chief Justice Franklin, who helped to put him where he is.
 Moeur Switches to Sutter.
 While w. A. Moeur, state land commissioner, withdrew in favor of Osborn. and will probably keep his gentleman's agreement 10 vote for him, his support is going to Sutter, and his brother, Dr. Moeur of Tenn pc, was scheduled to preside at Slut ter's Tempe meeting. Ben Clark, chief clerk in the office of the iand commissioner, is out openly for Slut ter. and accompanied him on some of his tours of the state It is safe to say that Osborn did not profit by a handful of votes by forcing Moeur out of the race. Moeur was the only candidate over the draft age who stood a show of being elected, and his withdrawal left the field clear for Tom Campbell
 Osborn Has Place to Light
 While Mulford Winsor, one of Sid Osborn's managers. is not on speak ing terms with Leroy Ladd, Coiter'sI manager. Hunt is on speaking terms with both, and Osborn will be good dog when Golfer gets his reward. But Little Memo will see to it that Osborn has place to light, and Col ter will of course promise to take care of him with a nice fat office. for Sid simply has to have a job. Osborn received a terrible blow when the Arizona Labor Journal in which he had been expending considerable sums for advertising in the hope of camouflaging the labor vote, exposed his intrigues with agents of the cor porations in an open letter carried as an advertisement on the front page. Osborn was connected in this letter with the fight to nullify the minimum wage for women, and his betrayal of organized labor exposed. This in tcnsified the i'll feeling between Os- born and Golfers managers. but it helped Golfer. and is serving to hold
 
 A Satisfied Censor
 The war record of Carl Hayden is becoming better known every day, The latest person 10 learn something of Hayden's stand on war measures is the cable censor at San Francisco. Upon receipt Of Tom Maddock's nomination papers Secretary Andrew Baumert, of the state committee, wired Lieut. Maddock, who is now serving with the colors in France, as follows:
 Papers arrived 22nd. Hayden's war record bad. People will put you over"
 The next morning the following telegram was received:
 SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. p, 1918 - Andrew Baumcrt, Phoenix, Ariz.: Explain fully yours 22nd, Mad dock, Amer. F. F., London.
 CABLE CENSOR"
 The cablegram was explained by the following telegram:
 Cable Censor. San Francisco, Cal: Lieut.. Maddock is Republican nom- iuee for congress. State law requires his signature on nomination blanks, which are papers referred to. War record refers to Hayden, congress- man of this state. taken from Nation al Security poster. Balance means people of Arizona are going to elect Lieut.. Maddock their next congress man. This explains my cable.
 ANY. BAUMERT."
 The censor was evidently satisfied. for he immediately dispatched the cable.
