PASSING OF "JIM" JOHNSON.

James H. Jim" Johnson, 62 years of age, for ten years a re sident of Nogales, passed away at 10 o'clock last Tuesday morn ing at an apartment house in Terrace avenue, where he had been rooming. Death was due to heart trouble. He had been in bad health about three month |, and recently realizing that the end was near, willed his prop erty in Prescott, Arizona, to his wife and daughter, who are now in California.
 Deceased was elected consta- ble of NogaleS Precinct on the Republican ticket two years ago and was a candidate for re cleo tion. He also acted as custo- dian of the trucks of the city fire department.
 He was a member of the B. P. O. E. Lodge and I. o. O. F.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION LAW

There is a prevailing misap- prehension about the primary election law of Arizona being a. part of the constitution of Ari- zona. The only provision in the constitution, relating to a prim- ary election, is the mandatory one which says the legislature of the state shall enact laws pro- providing that party candidates shall be nominated by direct vote of the people.
 The present primary election law was enacted by the first state legislature. Hon. w. T.
 Webb, of Graham county, as we remember, introducing the meas ure. The law contains much un- necessary machinery which has been unsatisfactory since the day it was enacted. It provided for party conferences, state and country, after candidates have been nominated in the primary, for the purpose of formulating party platforms. To our mind, under the present constitutional provision, these party confer ences could be made to occur before the holding of the prim- ary election. We believe this change is advisable for the pur-
 pose of preserving party organ ization and party responsibility. Another amendment of the present primary law which we think is advisable is to change the law so that no candidate I@A ~AG
 without receiving a majority of the party voters. This would require a second run off primary, as in the state of Texas, but this
 would not occur as to any can- didates who received a majority of the votes cast in the first
 primary. We believe this change
 would result in increased party strength. In both Maricopa and Yavapai counties there are now eight democrats seeking the de- mocratic nomination for the of flee of sheriff and most surely the democratic candidate for sheriff in these counties will be
 minority candidates, perhaps not by more than 20 per cent of the
 party vote. Such candidate
 must first attempt to heal the l primary campaign sores with the friends of seven defeated candidates before directing his final campaign guns towards the republican enemy. Under the system which prevails in Texas the candidate would have the support of a majority of his par ty to start with which would be an assurance of strength in his own party household.
 The question of segregating the party voters in a primary election is one not easily solved
 where voters of one party are prone to meddle with and take part in the nomination of can didates in the party which they oppose. Under the present prim- ary law when a voter registers
 he must declare his party affilia- tion and there is no way to fix this party affiliatlon except by
 the declaration of the individual
 when he applies for registration.
 While this is a hard problem we
 believe it could be solved with
 out conflict with the present
 constitutional provislon.-Doug- 1 las International.

LITTLE JOHN WOOD KILLED.

The following account of the death of John Wood, Jr., grand son of MT. John Wood, circulat- ing manager of the Democrat, is from the Ell Paso Times of last Wednesday,:
 John Wood. Jr., 10 year old son of former Police Captain John Wood and nephew of Act ing Police Sergeant Charles Wood, was fatally injured yes- terday afternoon when he was run over by a wagon in front of 1123 East Nevada street.
 Little John celebrated his tenth birthday Monday. One of the numerous presents which he received was a new bicycle. He was trying the bicycle out on Nevada street at the time the accident occurred.
 People living in the neigh borhood were questioned by the police yesterday regarding the accident, but no one could be found who could give any clear description of it. The only fact the police were able to learn was that the boy had been run over by a large wagon. They were unable to locate the wagon yes- terday.
 After the accident the boy was rushed to tue Masonic hos pital. He died on the operating table before surgeons could de- termine the extent of his injur- ies.
 ''The body was being held at the Simmons Hartford establish ment, pending funeral arrange ! ments. The boy is survived by his father and mother.
 Both Mrs. Wood and her hus- band were prostrated yesterday after learning of the accident. The Wood home is at 1919 Cali ] fornia street"

OWOSS0 MERCHANTS
DUPED BY FRIEND
After Cashing Check Levy
Departs, But Was Cap
tured at Midland.

OWOSSO, June 2-S. Lew, Of
Toledo, was arrested early Monday
morning by Midland, Mich, auth
critics, through information given
them by the sheriffs department at
.Corunna. After they had been no.
titled only SUNDAY by Lew Heyer.
of OwOsso, one of the three men
he VictimiZed in this city last Fri
day.
Levy whom for the past few
years was salesman for a Toledo
crockery firm, made many trips
through the different cities of
Michigan, and while staying in
Owosso at different times. made
many friends. Making it hard for
them to believe of his crooked
game last Friday.
And because Of this friendly
feeling Heyer was an easy dupe.
Levy asked if it would be possible
to have Heyer identify him at the
bank on a check of $39S, he
claimed he was impossible to cash
before leaving Tor Charlotte. Mrs.
Heyer readily signed her name to
the check and neither she or Mr..
Heyer thought any more about it.
However, about two days later it
was found the payment of the
check had been stopped. Levy had
secured the money and lef, for a
place unknown. leaving not only
Heyer alone, as victim but Sill
verman 81 Lebowski, two west town
dry goods merchants.
Levy who was an acquaintance
of both men visited them Friday
and told of his resigning his form
er position with the Toledo Crock
cry Co, and OF going into the shirt
and overall business.
Through the extremely low
prices given by Levy. both Silver
man & Labowski placed large or
ders with him. He, however, asked
that they pay the freight charge at
once. This they did, it amounting
to exactly $40.
After Heyer received word from
the defrauded Charlotte business
ment of the check, he began inves-
tigating Levy's supposed office
headquarters.
This information he obtained
from the two victimized West
Owosso merchants. The address
Levy gave these men, 800 Nisholet
building, Toledo. was investigated
by the authorities and II was
found a fake. There is Nicholas
building in Toledo.
Under Sheriff Pardee left Mon
day afternoon for Midland where
he will bring back Levy. Upon
the prisoners arrival he will be ar
raigned and charged with obtain
ing money under false pretenses.
