ANOTHER TANCLE
 IN PRIMARY LAW

If the state law relative to the or ganization of the republican and dem- ocratic state and county committee is followed to the letter, this year, &C., cording to George R. Hill, assistant attorney general, the state commit tees of each party will be required to meet at the state capitol building one day before these committee have been formed.
 This queer situation is brought about, MT. Hill said, by the unusual position of the dates and days in Sep- tember this year and by the peculiar wording of the law relative to com mittees. The law in the matter in substance is that IA days after the primary election the precinct commit teemen elected at the primary election by each party shall meet in their county and organize by electing chair men and other officers. This law provides further that on the last Monday in the month of the primary election, the chairmen chosen by each of the county committees shall gath CT at the state capitol building at noon on this last Monday and organ ize by electing a chairman and Off, ficers.
 So much for the wording of the law, its operation is the vital ques- tion and by solving it some young attorney may make great name for himself. If carried out to the letter the county committeeman will meet on September 26, 14 days after the primary election and organize, while the state committee will meet at the capitol building on the last Monday in September, which is September 25, and organize.
 The question which arises is how can the state committees composed of the chairmen of the various county committees meet as provided for by the law, when the same law provides that the chairmen of the respective committees cannot be elected until the next day.

FORMER HEAD OF ARIZONA'S
 MASONS DIES IN LOS ANGELES

Capt. Chales M. Smith, 63, past grand master of the Masonic order in Arizona, and veteran steamboat cap .ain on the Colorado river, died sud- denly in Los Angeles, where he had been spending the summer with his family, according to word reaching here today. He had been in poor health for some time and it is believ- ed his death was the result of sec ond paralytic stroke.
 He suffered the first stroke a few weeks ago.
 Capt. Smith came to Yuma in 1897 from San Diego, where he had been building jetty for the government at North Island. He had considerable previous experience as a steamboat captain on the Columbia river, and soon after his arrival at Yuma he be- came associated with a company op- erating line of steamboats on the Colorado.
 His widow, and one daughter, Miss Alice M. Smith, survive him.

YAVAPAI CANDIDATES DEFACE
 CLIFFS OF JEROME HIGHWAY

Certain candidates for county office have defaced the Prescott to Jerome highway by plastering the rocks and cliffs along the roadside with election placards. The road is the one great scenic highway of the county that has been built to date and while it may be impossible to invoke the law against the offenders, it is certain that they have violated every canon of good taste and that their action is one that should be reproved in the only way in which an expression of dis approval is possible-at the polls. The matter was called to the atten- tion of the Yavapai Chamber of Com- merce and an investigation disclosed that the offenders had, in a majority of cases, pasted the offending plac- ards tight on the rock with flour paste, making their removal matter of much difficulty if not impossibil- ity.
