PHOENIX. May 22-With the
primary campaign beginning to
warm up. political pundits are
specializing on the size of the vote
TO be cast next September s.
Predictions made by veteran
politicos vary all the way from
65 900 to 100000 votes for COVER.
nor in the Democratic primary.
All OF the prognosticators antici-
pate a considerable cut from the
lis, ,230 ballots cast in the Demo.
cratic gubernatorial primary in
1910. (The total primary vote for
governor. including 9,01S COP
ballots, was 127 ,24S).
Basing opinions on extremely
light votes in this springs Arizona
municipal elections, most guessers
are pegging the Democratic pri-
mary vote at between 5000 and
95 900.
That figure would be a tremen-
dous increase from the 9.733 Demo
cratic votes cast for a gubernator-
ial nominee October "a, 1911,
when the total vote for governor
was only Is, ,165, of which 1896 went

Geo. w. p. Hunt won his first
Democratic nomination for COVER
nor back in 1911 by receiving 5,241
votes.
The Old Roman won in the gen
eral election. December IL of that
year, by receiving 11,123 votes.
His Republican opponent, Judge E.
w. Wells, received 9,166. Mr.
Hunt became governor four
months later when Arizona was
admitted to the Union.
Should the Democratic primary
vote for a gubernatorial nominee
run from 10000 to 95,000-as esti-
mated by most veteran politicos-
the total vote given either Jones
or Osborn in the 1910 primary
would constitute, a majority. Os-

didates two years ago. Osborn at
that time, although a minority
nominee of his party, received a
plurality.
Osbornites, secretely fearful
their leader can't do as well in
1912 as he did in 1910, are count
ing heavily on a light vote to be
an advantage to an incumbent.
With three, and possibly four,
candidates seeking the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination, SPOers
say their chief can lose a sizable
number OF votes and yet receive a
plurality.
Jones boys counter that con-
tention with the claim their lead
er, in contrast with the incumb-
ent governor, has increased his
popularity during the last two
years. He should retain all of his
former strength, they say, which
in three or four man race should
give him a comfortable margin of
victory.
Dan c. Mckinney, Osborn's 1910
campaign manager, who is a candi-
date this year, is expected to
make inroads into the Osborn
vote. Most observers are of the
opinion Mckinney will cut deeply
into Osborn's totals particularly in
Graham and Pima counties, both
of which SPO carried in the last
primary-Graham by 23s votes,
Pima by 470.
An analysis of the 1910 primary
returns shows Osborn had consid-
cradle help in winning the nomina-
tion by his margin of 5,495 votes
over Jones in Maricopa county.
Jones led Osborn in the remainder
of the state.
Observers point to the record ov-
er the years of what happens to
incumbent governors in Maricopa
county. Their margins vanish.
Most recent example is the fact
RITZ had an edge in Maricopa in
1888.
Stories from Gila lend credence
to reports the governor is unhap
by over the situation in that
county, which he wrested from
Bob Jones in 1910 by a margin of
1,216 votes. The governors. politi-

Objections Involve
Two Islands

Washington, Mar. s. ms -
French Ambassador CASTOR Henry
Haye today intends 10 make a
strong representation to the State
Department against the American
governments action in agreeing to
recognize Free French control
over the Pacific islands OF New
Caledonia and New Oceania.
The French envoy will express
his disapproval to acting Secretary
of State Sumner Welles. He is I'M
derstood to take the position that
the sovereignty OF the islands rests
with Vichy, and that no agreements
concerning them should be made
without the prior knowledge and
approval of that government.
American recognition of Free
French control over the islands
was disclosed on Monday, when
Welles announced an agreement
for joint American-Free French de-
tense of the strategically import
ant islands lying of Australia.
In extending recognition to the
Free French commissioner of the
island the American government
said:
In its relation with the local
French authorities in French terri
tory the United States has beea
and will continue to be governed
by the manifest effectiveness with
which those authorities endeavor to
protect their territory from domino.

this policy to Henry-Haye today.

spoke at the regular meeting OF

Mrs. Lamb said that England
was suffering today for the want OF

layed too long in their establish

She pointed out that the govern
ment through the W.PA. will ar
range for teachers for the nursery
schools. but there will also have
to be volunteer teachers in addi-
ton. Other facilities, such as the
school room will have to be fur
nished by the community. The lo-
cation OF nursery schools depends
on the centers Of population.
The object OF the schools is in
relieving mothers SO that they can
work in the industrial plants. For
the future OF America, children
should be strong and healthy and
