.DYAS BELIEVES
/. CLARK WILL BE-
WINNER in CITY

Following tour of the northern
and central parts of the state, Ray
mond Dyas, who is directing the pri-
mary campaign of e. S. Clark for
the republican nomination for COVER
nor, arrived in Douglas yesterday
and after a day of consultation with
numerous local party leaders, eX-
pressed the belief last night that
Clark will poll three out of every
four republican votes cast November
in the Douglas precincts.
throughout the northern and cen
trail portions of the state" declared
Dyas, Il found Clark sentiment very
strong, party officials and laeders of
Apache, Navajo, Coconino, Mohave
and Yavapai counties assuring me
that Clark would receive a majority
in each of these counties. Clark s
attitude on the Colorado of let's
cult saving the Colorado and go to
using it, evidently has won wide
spread support. His banking and
taxation views likewise are wei.
liked, but above all, his clean, con-
structive campaign, free from per-
sonalties of any sort, mas impressed
itself upon the consciousness of the
rank and file lof the party. Neither
by spoken or printed word has Clark
or any of his numerous friends and
supporters, in speech or deed, done
anything that would mitigate against
success of the republican party nomi
ness in November, whoever he may
be. That this attitude of party, rather
than personal success has gained him
innumerable supporters is evidenced
by the large majorities promised him
in nearly all of the counties of the
state"
Clark, who completed statewide
tour Thursday night, has returned to
Maricopa county, where he will close
the campaign, having arranged speak
ing dates in every city and town in
the county and, according to Dyas.
will carry the county, judging from
presents Indications, by at least a
two -one majority.
These prophecies of state wide
success may sound over-opuimistic, y
said Dyas, rbut are based on COM
servative estimates from trained polil
teal observers, who have sounded
sentiment in each of the counties
named"

night and will show there for five
days before going south into Mexico.
