votes Of the required thirds, the
Maricopa county delegation asked
permission to withdraw for caucus.
Thirty three members of the delega-
ton had supported Judge Stanford to
point of hopelessness.
Thus was the end of the long fight
for endorsement by the state Demo-
cratic conference for the nomination
for governor brought in sight.

O'Clock There We're few changes
until the 18th ballot, the count run
ming Greenway 54. Stanford 44H.
Ward IS, Roberts %. During the 18th
ballot Andy Martin of the Pima dele
CATION, which had been voting solidly
for Greenway, requested permission

uproar.
Conference In Uproar
The Pima, Yavapai. Pinal. Cochise.
Mohave and Yuma delegations seized
their guidons and marched ahead OF
the Maricopa delegation with Apache
war whoops.
The revised count of this ballot
gave Ward 701s. Stanford 56ia,
Greenlee. which had been voting SOL
idly for Greenway going in a body TO
Stanford. The 18th, 14th. 18th and
18th ballots showed small but steady
gains for Ward. 1t was represented
TO the 33 Maricopa delegates who had
been voting for Judge Stanford in
the face of certain defeat that their
attitude was4doing harm, both to him
and TO Maricopa.
When Maricopa was reached on the
nth roll call George Purdy Bullard
asked that Maricopa be allowed TO go
into caucus. A recess of half an hour
was taken and Judge Stanford was
sent for.
The 18th ballot showed % OF the
Marieopa delegation standing firm for
Stanford after the conference with
him. Ward now lacked only four
votes. The Graham county delegation
threatened to go home.
On the 18th ballot the ella deiega-
ton tried TO create diversion in
favor of Chairman Duffy. 1t did not
effect the lineup until Santa Cruz
was reached when Mrs. j. e. Harii-
son, chairman of the delegation, al
most fell for il.
The End Nears
81 don't know what TO do, she
moaned. Immediately the conference
was in an uproar. the Gila and part of
the Maricopa county delegation yell
ing Duffy. Duffy
The chairman hastily visited his
delegation and after earnest protest
against the use of his name he re-
turned to the chair and announced the
four votes for Santa Cruz for Ward.
The roll call gave Ward 10lh. Stan
ford. 29ls, Duffy 10. Roberts i. The
Ward vote was two-thirds Of all yotex
cast and his endorsement was de-
clared.
A delegated was appointed to bring
Mr.. Ward TO the arTnory where at
1870 O'Clock he addressed the con-
ference.
Voting In Afternoon
Seven ballots this afternoon on the
endorsement of candidates for the
Democratic nomination for governor
resulted in no choice by the state
conference here and gave no indica-
tion of a choice. There had been lit
tie change from figures of the first
ballot. On the seventh ballot. the
candidates stood in this order: J. c.
Greenway, 81; r. S. Stanford, 46 Y;
Charles B. Ward. 2712; and c. NJ.
Roberts, %.
When Roberts was put in romina-
ton by w. ID. Claypool. the latter
said that it was done as mark OF
Gila county's disapproval of the en-
dorsement plan. With a solid vote OF
ella eounty's IS delegates on every
ballot and scattering votes of the
radical delegates. it appears that uIl-
less there is league of considerable
parts of Stanford, Greenway and
Ward forces agreement under two
thirds rule will be impossible.

a typical result in Maricopa county;
