stated that many broadcasters, in
Guiding newspapers, operating at
great expense without financial re-
turn, had filed complaints against the

In a three-circuit receiver. which

ing sounds will be experienced if the
parts are not well separated, and in
order to prevent this the two vario-
meters should be placed about twelve
inches apart and at right angles to

THE BUNGLEsoME PRIMARY LAW

There was some feeling over the fact that
number of names were written in for the different
offices at the primary election. However one may
feel about it, it is the fault of the present primary
law It is a dangerous political blunder for any
party to leave blank space on the ticket for 1T
can be used by handful of enemies to folst
worthless nominee onto a party and the party is
helpless, if he gets handful of votes he is the
nominee We have desire to reflect on county
candidates whose names were written In at the
primary last week. but do wish to call attention to
the attempt to foist Mr. Maxwell on to the re-
publican party as its candidate for congress. Mr..
Maxwell belongs to the Hunt-Coter tribe oppos-
ing the Colorado river pact; few people in the
state ever heard of his being a republican, but
did know he was hand-in-glove with Hunt and his
anti-pact followers, yet handful of enemies of
the republican party started an eleventh hour se-
cret scheme of writing his name in on the repub-
lican ticket Once he received handful of votes
he was the nominee of the whole republican party
unless he could be made to withdraw or some one
shot him in self defense. There is no legal method
of ousting him from the ticket. Another fat-head
feature of our present primary law reads that
any person may file a petition and get his name
on a ticket when there is blank space left for
an office-a dozen or more may get In on this
proposition. Then the law eventually concludes
that the state or county central committee may
fill the vacancy if it is not filled by petition The
primary law and the bunglesome expensive cleo
tion law are both cussed freely and whole-hearts
edly by all hands regardless of party, yet the
makeshifts still remain on our statute books I'M
changed. The primary law should at least be
changed making it necessary that when name OF
a person is written in, that person must have a
number of votes equal to the number of names re-
quired on nominating petition.

STOP AND REASON A LITTLE

Then we have the old trusts" "Wall street
predatory interests" and hundred more such
8hackneyed phrases of ancient vintage, encompass
ing gttering generalites, with which to horrify
and bunco the public with us again this season.
The more ignorant the blatant orator is the more
he uses these old phrases. Too often the public is
more willing to accept these gittering generates,
spilled by an ignoramus than it is to believe plain,
logical and conclusive statements of facts. 1t is a
discouraging fact but true, that it is hundred
times harder to put over an honest constructive
program which is of real benefit to the public than
it is for some unprincipled bunco artist to put
over a Obstructive one at the expense of the pub
lic A personal fight which can benefit no one, is
more apt to stir up public interest than plain facts
which should be of vital interest morally and fl
nancially Thinking, thinking honestly and with an
uprejudiced mind, is our only salvation and the
way to progressive prosperity.

HEARD FOR GOVERNOR

Dwight B. Heard has been nominated aS Cle
oo,,d;de+o of the republicans of Arizona for gov
ernor of the state The result of the primaries was
q SIGNAL victory for the supporters OF Mr. Heafu
although the majority polled Dy the puosalen M -, q
qainst his opponent was such that from the very
beoinninp when returns began to be received, tile
issue was never in doubt.
Mr. Heard will undoubtedly be elected IN NO
vember. He has as his opponent IN the genera z
lection man who wants to be returned 10 the
omhp,nAtorial chair for the fifth time notWlth-
Standing the fact that under his reglme conol-
tons in the state so far as government is concern
ed are deporably inefficient. Taxes nave oeen III III
creased out of all proportion to the taxable Wealtn
of the state which since l92l has peen feuuce0
5000. 600 OOO state institutions have become a
Joke and disgrace to the state and the Colorado
compact which means the progress and growth OF
the state to position it should occupy, consider
ING it's wonderful resources, has been held up,
These things are important factors TO all Cne
voters of the state. The result of the primaries
does not by any means signify an eectlon ne
pubicans are satisfied generally with Cne nonlna-
ton of George V. To them he has been can
didate that this time can be beaten by strong
republican and it is the concensus OF opinion that
Dwight B. Heard is the man.
Heard poled considerably more OF party vote
than Hunt, and the bitterness that exists between
him and his two opponents, Osborn and Samueh,
will find vent in the election IN November Inc sup
porters of the last two named will Tor the most
Hunt There may be some defections to the forces
of Hunt but they will be in the minority.
It is also within the realm of possibility that
Mr. Maddox will support Mr.. Heard as they have
much in common and Maddox will undoubtedly
rather see a republican elected governor
than the present incumbent. He will, It he has
been sincere in his expression of affection for the
state the ratification of the Colorado pact and the
inauguration of stable business form OF govern
ment.
Heard is unquestionably the strongest man the
republicans could have selected to carry their
banner to victory in November. A successful busl-
ness man, of sterling integrity and with an un-
blemished record he will appeal to republicans and
democrats alike.
The election of Heard will mean many things to
the baby state. Economy in government which is
one of the things that Arizona needs most, early
ratification of the Colorado compact with the IN
terests of the state protected reduction in taxes
which Hunt promised but did not fulfill, moral and
efficient administrations at the various state In
stitutions which have during the past two years
been allowed to deteriorate to point that is
shameful and state offices filled with capable ef-
ficient officials instead of chair warmers
The voters of the state who want to declare
their independence from the monarchial rule OF
George v. can not do better than elect Heard
