draw from the contest for the
 democratic. nomination for
 Governor.
 I wish to assure my many
 friends that their loyalty has
 been fully appreciated, and
 will always remain one of my

 c. M. ROBERTS
 In speaking of his withdrawal, MT. Roberts stated emphatical1y that 1t was not done at the solfcitatiin of or by an understanding with any candi- date. He was not withdrawing in favor of anybody nor at the sugges- tion of any candidate.

Now the opinion is that it is a toss up between the two democratic aspirants fo- the II T -1s<, s,, favor of Winsor..

His withdrawl followed an editorial in the Arizona Labor Journ- al calling upon both Ramsdell and Stanford to quit and give Worsley a clear field against Mark Smith. So far Stanford has failed to heed the call of the Arizona Labor Journal. In an interview in the Tucson Citizen Mark Smith stated that it was i'm material to him whether one or all of his opponents withdrew from the race.
