Arizona Election
Interest Centers
In Demo Contest

PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 9. (UP)
Arizona votes in its biennial PR
mary election tomorrow with chief
interest centering on the contests
for the Democratic nominations for
U. S. senator, governor and repre-
sentative in Congress.
A total of 1852 voters have
qualified to vote in the election to
nominate party candidates for II
other state offices.
The senatorial contest has pro-
vided one of the most interesting
races of the campaign. Henry F..
Ashurst, Arizona's senior U. S. sem
ator since the state was admitted
to the union in 1912, is faced with
the most serious opposition of his
% years in office. Many observers
predict he will be given a close
battle, and possibly defeated, for
the democratic nomination by SUI
perior judge Ernest w. Mcfarland
of Florence, Ariz.
The gubernatorial contest has
followed closely the lines of typi-
cal Arizona campaign, replete With
mud singing, name calling and
last minute exposes"
Gov. R. T. Jones again is seek
ing the Democratic nomination, but
has a serious rival in Sidney j.
Osborn, Phoenix publisher. Osborn
was a gubernatorial candidate in
1888, when he finished only few
thousand votes behind Jones. He
is reported to have gained steadily
during the past two years.
The congressional race has fea-
tured the reelection campaign of
Rep. John r. Murdoch. His most
serious rival for the Democratic
nomination is William Mathews,
Tucson newspaper publisher.

fast the cook hadn't arrived. A cou-
pie of mattresses took over the job
of frying the bacon and eggs and
brewing the tea. Nearby were cou-
pie of shops, windows blown out
by explosion of bomb a block or
so away Both expected to be open
for business as soon as the glass
and dust was swept up.
Down in the dock area there were
lot of people who had no place
to work Many of these were steve
dores, winchmen and warehouse
men. They will have to wait until
the dock area is in working order
again. Then there are plenty OF
little storekeepers in the region
who have no shops any longer and
possibly no homes, either.
These people are not typical, OF
coufse. The typical Londoner may
have been shaken in his bed during
the last two nights or driven TO an
underground shelter. But he still
has a place to work.
Opposite the demolished wing OF
a hospital / saw a tailor shop, a
news dealer, cigar store and a dry
cleaning establishment operating for
business as usual while auxiliary
firemen knocked the last few splint-
ers of glass from their shattered
front windows.
Air raid precaution workers were
working desperately seeking to res
cue two nurses trapped in the upper
stories of a nurses home attached
to one of London's biggest hospi-
tails.

The contracts were prepared wniie
congress debated the approprlaIioil
bill and before nightfall the wa
and navy departments were expect
ed to close formal agreements run
ming into hundreds of millions OF
dollars.
Enactment of the appropriation
bill raises total appropriations and
authorizations for defense at this
session of congress to approximate
ly ,OOO,OOO,OOO.
The figure has no precedent IN
American peace time history and
represents an effort of the admin
istration to rearm the nation for
/
total defense.
Congress completed action on the
measure on September 6 and the
intervening days represented the
period of time required to engrosS
the bill and to make a routine check
for technical flaws before it WAS
made law.
In the measure are funds which
will be used to lay down additional
warships-the first step toward con-

objective which was decided upon
after Germany unleashed its blitz-

The actual amount of the total
