 Democrats Battle Here
 Phoenix, Ariz., Sept. S-UP)- Voters chose in a primary today party candidates for governor and Arizona's one seat in the house of representatives. The chief contest was for the gubernatorial post oc- cupied by Benjamin B. Moeur, demo- cratic incumbent seeking reelection. He is an ardent supporter of Presi- dent Roosevelt, and was opposed for the nomination by R. c. Stanford. He based his campaign on opposition to the sales tax that Moeur spon- sored. In the republican primary the gubernatorial contest was be- tween former Gov. Thomas E. Campbell and John H. Udall, mayor of Phoenix.
 Because the democratic registra- tion is nearly twice thath of the republican, the contest between Campbell and Udall was impersonal in contrast to the heated charges aired in the democratic battle.
 In the congressional race, the vot. CTS were confronted with II demo- cratic candidates. The favorites were Mrs. Nellie T. Bush of Parker, Louis Witney of Phoenix and T. Phelops, the only Townsendite in the race.
 Talmadge Tomorrow Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 8.-(UP)-The showdown between Gov. Eugene Tal- madge and supporters of the Roose- welt administration, inevitable since Talmadge led "grass roots" con- vention of dissident democrats last winter, arrives tomorrow, in the state primbary. Talmadge sought the democratic nomination to the senate. Sen. Richard B. Russell, Jr., asked renomination. Their cam paigns and their records made the issue almost entirely one of being for or against the "New Deal". Poh- ticians expected the heat of the campaign to bring out more than 300, 1000 voters. Nomination on the democratic ticket is equal to elec- ton.
 Gov. Talmadge made the issue by his adverse criticism in frequently scorthing language of Roosevelt ad- ministration policies. He organized the convention of southern democrats at Macon that condemned the na- tional administrator and was re- puted to have had serious aspira- tions to become a third party candi- date for president.
 Alaska Contests
 Juneau, Alaska, Sept. 8.-(UP)- Alaska voters select territorial nom- inees today, and elect delegate to congress.
 Candidate, who carried on their campaigns by mule, airplane, train and radio and sought support not only in the larger cities but in iso- lated villages within the Arctic Circle, sought election on majol continental issues-the New Deal bureaucracy, the constitution, alleged governmental extravagances and sill yer.
 The closest race was anticipated in the battle for the congressiona delegate post, with democratic in- cumbent Anthony J. Dimond of Val. deg opposed by Judge Lester Gore of Ketchikan, republican.
 Dimond campaigned for a great CT measure of home rule for Alaska and abolition of fish traps, used by major fishing interests in the great Alaska salmon run. Gore opposed the latter proposal as ruinous to ths industry.
