ELECTION CHIEF CENTER IF
 PUBLIC INTEREST

The biennial primary election is at hand and on next Tuesday the voters of Arizona will go to the polls to express the choice of their re- spective parties, at least that is the intention of the law
 As usual there is no contest in the Republican primaries worthy of the name. The nomination of Ernest k. Hall present Secretary of State, is being contested by Wesley Hill. The remaining candidates on the State Republican ticket are unop- posed
 The Socialists party in Arizona has filed no nomination papers either in the state or in the county
 The main interest attaches to the Democratic party primaries in which more than two thirds of the voters of the state will participate regard less of their true political beliefs. Interest centers around the contest for the nomination for Governor. In another column the ERA pres ents the forecasts of the result as given out by the Ward and Hunt Clubs in Phoenix. These forecasts are always in order a few days be- ASiN oh OiCCLiOH anu are lSSuoQ Drln- cipally for the effect the figures will
 have upon the wavering voter. We never saw a forecast yet in which both campaign managers did not claim victory. An invariable rule followed by the veteran politician is to claim every precinct and then in | case of defeat to claim fraud | There is growing feeling among the Democrats in the state that the party can win sure victory in Nov | ember with Ward as the nominee. I and reports received in Greenlee 1 county from other counties in the state indicate that the drift is to-
 wards Ward in the Democratic pri- | mary.
 The other contests in the democra-
 tic primary are between Chas. de Sales Wheeler and Amos Betts for | Corpofation Commissioner with Betts
 leading. The race for the nomina- tioH of Mine Inspector is Ssteeeu
 Foster, Harper and O'Hagen Daniel
 r: Boyle, of Douglas. is the opponent of John Murphy, of Globe. for the
 nomination for Attorney General.
 In Greenlee county the local con
 test is confined strictly to the Demo | cratic party. The campaign has been | contested in a clean and honorable
 manner among the local candidates. As in previous campaigns interest
 centers around the race for sheriff
 and both sides are confident of vic
 tory on the eve of the primaries. The polls on Primary Day will be
 opened in each precinct at a. m-
 and will be closed at D. m.
