POLITICAL
LIMELIGHT

II A1M MLA1O4xx
A candidate whom all indications
point to receiving big vote in
Santa Cruz county is Alma M. Davis
of Mesa, aspirant for the Demo-
cratic nomination for state super
intendent Of public instruction.
Davis was here campaigning few
days ago. and made splendid i'm
preston He stands a good chance
Of being nominated at the primary
and elected in November.
Speaking of Davis reminds us
that Arizona Fax, political paper
published at Phoenix, has been rap
ping his opponent, Herman Hen
dirk, left and right for the past
several months, and is waging a
warmer campaign against Hendrix
than any other candidate.
The race for the Democratic
nomination for Corporation Com
missioner is one of the most puz-
zling of all. There are seven candi-
dates. Either Amos A. Belts, Frank
Baptist, John Cunmard, Bill Cox
or Carroll Hudson will be nomi-
mated, according to upstate reports
Looks like neck and neck affair.
Publicity given the Kelly Kelley
case at Phoenix has not helped Jim
Kerby In his race for secretary of
state.
Because of the ban placed by
Chief Of Police Lowe against politi-
cal addresses in front of local news
paper offices most of the primary
speeches will be held in the city
park opposite the Hotel Montezuma.
In the event of rain the candidate
and crowd can walk across the
street to the hotel lobby, Manager
j. G. Lynch Of the Montezuma hav-
ing very kindly offered use of the
lobby gratis to all speakers.
One county candidate is said to
have made the remark that if he
loses at the primary he will leave
town. One of his opponents said
he should begin packing up now.
Both Moeur and Hunt supporters
forecast victory in the gubernatorial
contest. Undoubtedly Moeur has
gained umch ground the past two
weeks. For awhile it looked like
Hunt was a sure winner. T'ht out
come Is much in doubt now.
The race between Nit Sims, Judge
H. c. Gilbert and Kirby Vidrine for
the Democratic nomination for
State Treasurer is one that we
would not care to make wager on.
When the polls close at 6 o'clock
on the evening of September II we
will give you our guess on how all
the races will result. But not until
then. Such a forecast before that
hour might create the impression
this Democratic paper was plugging
for certain ones. In primary fight
The International is always neutral
fair to ALL
Judge Charles E. Hardy is doing
the proper thing in introducing all
Democratic speakers appearing here.
Each is entitled to such courtesy.
Two years ago dad" Thurman did
the same thing and made many
friends.
When Amos Belts was here the
other day he called at the Charles
E. Hardy home. Judge Hardy and
Belts are friends Of many years
standing and both are former rail-
road men.
The registration at Patagonia for
the September primary is the great
est in the history Of that town,
largely due perhaps to the fact that
a Patagonia boy-Gordon Farley
is an aspirant for the post now held
by Bob Lee.
Only seven county candidates are
without opposition-Senator James
Harrison, Representative Ed Boh-
linger, County Attorney E. r. Thur
man, Supervisors R. T. Frazier and
Johnny Jones, Judge Charles L.
Hardy and Justice of the Peace
Charles Case of Ruby.
Elmer Harrison has resigned as
as. istant manager of the KreSS
