FRAZER NOMINEE
I FOR SECRETARY
Of STATE

l. p. Frazier of Nogales was
placed on the Republican state
ticket as the G. o. P. candidate
for Secretary of State at a meet
ing this week of the State Repub-
hcan Committee at Phoenix.
Mr.. Frazier, one of the best
known business men of Nogales,
and head of the we'll known Shelby
Service Station, and a member of
the firm of Frazier Brothers, was
member Of the lower house of
the Fifth State Legislature which
met in 1922.
The only thing we can say a.
gainst our old friend ''Ike" is that
he is on the wrong side of the po-
litical fence but at that, should
strange things happen politically
in this Democratic state he might
he elected. Some years ago Ernest
Hall was put on the Republican
ticket for Secretary of State and
he was the most Surprised man in
the world when he learned he had
been elected. If "Ike" is e.
lected he would become Governor
of the State in case of death Of
the Governor. There is no lieuten-
ant governor in Arizona. The
Secretary of State becomes Gov
ernor in case the Governor dies
during his term Of office.

Republicans to repudiate Hoover
and the Coolidge policies. He said:
