Arizona republican., 1920-11-04

Tn the main, the indications of Tues day night were borne out as precinct workers throughout the state finished their tasks in greater numbers. A. U. MeAlister led Edw J. Flannigan or Bisbee consistently for the supreme bench, and other Democrats who had escaped the avalanche maintained their leads, although at times the position of state auditor on the Republican ticket whipsawed with P. J. Muncn until a final tabulation gave the latter a. lead of 325 votes in the incomplete returns. Raymond Earhart, Demo cratic candidate for the post of state treasurer. early took definite lead over J. w. Estill, and with the final count stood more than 2500 to the good. Loren Vaughn leads ]. C. Reed for the l corporation commission by less than ] 1000 vtes. while E. A. Hughes and | Frank Luke, Democrats. have secured places on the tax commission over Ru- dolph <uchler and Frank II. Parker, 1 Republicans. Carl Hayden, Democrat, leads James R. Dunseath, Republican, 1 by good 5000 votes.
 Wiley Jones Defeated
 As the votes came i'll the surprises Of the election. which came forcibly with ] the counting of the earliest returns, did not lessen in strength or flavor, The unprecedented swing of votes from l the dominant party. the overthrowing tof Senator Marcus 4. Smith by Cam eron with apparent ease, the steady stream of ballots 10 Governor Camp bell. the decisive defeat of Wiley F. Jones for the attorney generalship l were subjects of continued and won dering comment. It was impossible, il seemed, to touch the reason for the ! change and voters did not attempt to give a cause for the defection from the Democratic ranks as much as they appeared to be seeking for one.
 This was particularly apparent ir the case of Wiley F. Jones, whose cleo ton had been generally conceded From the counting of the first ballots however, the fates were against him The plurality Of W. J. Galbraith piled up with the receipt of reports from the various counties, until the defeat O Jones changed from probability tC a certainty.
 The same happened with respect tC Tom C. Poster. Democratic candidate for state mine inspector. In his owl county of Cochise he led John r White, Republican. by a scant &, whih yesterdays finals found him more thai ; 1900 behind,
 Elsie Toles Wins by 20oo

From the time of the pri , maries her election had been conceded generally.
