Grossman charged that Fannin's voting record shows favoritism towards Eastern industrialists, the oil industry and a large California tax-free foundation. Proposition 100 was one of the most controversial. It would deny bail to persons charged with felonies while free on bail on a previous felony charge.

However, the proposition also states that "presumption of guilt on the second charge should be overwhelming.

Fannin charged that Grossman was a registered California Republican as late as last year and had close California ties, including campaign contributors. Williams, who has served two two-year terms, campaigned heavily on the state's prosperity and on his leadership. Castro, former Tucson attorney and judge and former U.S.

ambassador, called for a more vigorous leadership and challenged Williams's record, especially concerning environmental problems. Rhodes was regarded as a strong favorite to win a 10th term and his campaign was relatively modest. Pollock spoke in favor of several controversial issues, including legalization cf marijuana. The GOP mounted a serious drive to unseat Udall in his southern stronghold, with Agnew's visit climaxing Herring's bid last month. Herring is the outgoing state treasurer, and by law cannot succeed himself in that office.

Environment was also an issue in District 3, which includes many of the northern counties. Beaty attacked Steiger's successful elimination of Sycamore Canyon and Pine Mountain from a federal wilderness area bill, while Stei-ger cited his anti-crime work and efforts to "clean up" state dog and horse racing. The sweepstakes (Proposition 105) won a place on the ballot following an expensive campaign to obtain the required 90,000 signatures. Then the sponsors faded from sight and made no open effort to have it approved by the voters. The proposition's sponsor, Robert W.

Wilson, closed his Phoenix office and his hereabouts was unknown. His Arizona Sweepstakes is a subsidiary of the National Sweepstakes of Salt Lake City. Wilson said the lottery would turn over 35 per cent of its income to the state, which would split its share between the general fund and education. Williams and Castro both opposed the Udalls Cast Votes Proponents cited reports of reeat offenders who have been charged with crimes while free on bail on other charges. But opponents argue that the proposal would violate the Bill of Ilights by denying basic freedoms.

Proposition 104 drew support from urban areas but opposition from outlying counties. It would allow the Legislature to redistribute fuel tax revenues to the state, cities and counties. The current formula gives 40 per cent to the state, 40 to the cities and 20 to the counties. Several attempts to change the formula were successfully fought by small county legislators in the past two years. Proposition 102 would repeal the section of the Constitution which requires the Legislature to approve state salary changes.

It would, instead, provide a commission to determine the pay of state executives. In a compromise the proposition was amended so that the commission recommendations would be passed to the secretary of state, who would place it on the next ballot. Originally, the salary increases would have been automatic. Proposition 103 would establish a commission with the power to remove judges from office. Specifically, it would create a commission of five judges appointed by the Arizona Supreme Court, two members appointed by the State Bar and two laymen.

It would have authority to disqualify, or recommend the suspension, removal or retirement, of judges deemed incompetent. Proposition 101, generated little controversy. It is a technical proposal that would allow government agencies to obtain court-fixed bonds to guarantee compensation to owners of private property taken for public use. The agencies would be allowed to post a bond to cover compensation relating to condemnation suits, whereas agencies are currently required to put out cash. U.S.

Rep. Morris Udall, and his wife, Ella, showed up shortly before noon yesterday at 2710 E. Stratford Drive to cast their votes. Udall was defending his congressional seat against a challenge by Republican Morris Herring as well as American Independent Party candidate Clifford Thomallo. (Sheaffer photo) Wes Bolin Ahead Of Roeder Shofstall Leading Holliday Narrowly PHOENIX (AP) Veteran Secretary of State Wesley Bolin was apparently widening his lead over Republican John Roeder early Wednesday as vote counting continued in Arizona's general election.

Incumbent Republican Wel-don P. Shofstall held a very narrow lead over W. A. Doc Holliday, a Tucson Democrat, in a neck-and-neck race for superintendent of public instruction. Bolin, 62, a Democrat seeking his 12th term, was ahead of Roeder 105,956 to 93,067 with 421 of the state's 865 precincts reporting.

Shofstall led Holliday 98,875 to 96,610. In another nip-and-tuck race, Republican Al Faron had 80,621 votes to 82,302 for Democrat Max Hawkins in the battle for Corporation Commission. Republican Atty. Gen. Gary Nelson had a comfortable lead over Democrat Liz Stover to 73,067.

Republican Ernest Garfield was ahead of Democrat Jack DeVault 89,115 to 74,595 in the contest for state treasurer. Appeals Court Justice James Duke Cameron, Republican, was ahead of Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Charles L. Hardy for a State Supreme Court seat. The vote was 75,834 to 58,572. Republican incumbent William Eubank led Democrat John Vanlandingham 46,870 to 35,351 in the race for a seat on Division 1 of the Court of Appeals.

Voters approved five consti-titional amendments, but rejected one which would establish a state sweepstakes lot-trey. Bolin, who has held the office since 1948, barely survived the Republican landslide of 1968. The GOP nomination for the post became more attractive after Clint Mellor's near win, and Roeder beat out Mellor to oppose Bolin in the general election. Republicans went all-out to oust Bolin. Party leaders such as Sen.

Barry Goldwater emphasized that the secretary was next in line of succession for the governor. Miss Stover, nominated by a write-in campaign, accused Nelson of failing to protect consumers, saying only six cases have been filed since a consumer fraud division was set up in 19G6. Nelson denied the charge, and claimed he has kept partisan politics out of the office.

Pima County Superior Court Judges John Collins, Mary Anne Richey, Alice Truman, Richard Roylston and Norman Fenton also went unopposed for re-election.

Judge Lee Garrett had opposition from Paul Newell, but defeated the younger lawyer, to 25,773. Ben Birdsall, an appointee to the Trial Court bench, defeated Douglas Howard, 46,630 to for a full four-year term in Superior Court. Judge William Frey, who has been nominated for a federal court judgeship, also won election to his Superior Court seat, defeating city magistrate Jack Sheik by a 55,559 to 17,931 count. It was the largest victory margin in the Pima County voting 76 per cent. Justice of the Peace Joe Jacobson will now sit in a court of record.

He defeated appointee Lawrence Galligan for another Superior Court judgeship, 38,997 to 35,769. Court clerk Frances Gibbons was unopposed for re-election. Justice of the Peace Toby LaVetter won another term in Pz-ecinct One, defeating Harry Goodley, 13,381 to 8,616. niques are nearly out of control," he contended, urging fast action before "the fininciers, ad men and money-changers of politics take over the system." The other threat, as he sees it, is "the dark chapter for democracy" written by the last Arizona Legislature when it voted to cancel every Arizonan's voter registration as of today.

Attorney General Gary Nelson, a Republican, outdrew Democrat Liz Stover here, and Tucsonan Ernest Garfield wound up taking 56 per cent of the Pima vote in his race with Democrat Jack DeVault for state treasurer. Another Tucsonan, Democrat W. A. "Doc" Holliday, outdrew incumbent Weldon Shofstall in the county balloting for superintendent of public instruction.

State tax commissioner Wraldo DeWitt, a Republican, was unopposed for re-election, as was Corporation Commissioner Russ Williams, seeking a term ending in January, 1973. For an ACC term ending in 1976, Democrat Max Hawkins came out ahead of Republican Al Faron in Pima preferences. State mine inspector Verne McCutchan of Bisbee was unopposed as he sought a new term. Jesse Udall, justice of the State Supreme Court, ran unopposed for re-election. For another Supreme Court seat, former Tucsonan James Duke Cameron outpolled Charles Hardy, formerly of Nogales.

Anderson of Ajo Precinct Three J.P. M. went unopposed. They agreed, however, that someone had to go on television to counter Nixon's appeal for votes and that, according to Cowan, Muskie was "the only guy with enough stature to oppose the President." They realized that the mere appearance of the Maine senator as the spokesman for his party the night before the congressional elections was bound to strengthen his position at the top of the list of potential Presidential candidates, but they saw no alternative to the 19G8 vice presidential nominee. Many politicians recalled that in lOfiG Richard M.

Nixon, asked the Republican partv to allow him to make a similar 11th hour television broadcast. Ray C. Bliss, then the Republican national chairman, refused, arguing that such a broadcast would make Nixon appear the heir apparent to the presidential nomination. After Nixon was elected President two years later, Bliss was dismissed as party chairman. A broadcast by a Democrat Monday night seemed imperative, however, since Nixon had In Precinct Five, appointee Bates Butler defeated Howard Cramer for a full term as J.P..

GOP Gains Predicted By Agnew 1970 New York Times News Servlct TOWSON, Md. Vice President Spiro Agnew marched through a downpour Tuesday morning to vote the "straight Republican ticket" near his Baltimore County home. He predicted a Republican gain of four to six seats in the Senate and declared his own aggressive campaign efforts a success, but said he was just as glad the campaign was over. "Campaigning is quite interesting, but also quite arduous," he said. "There is a sameness that makes you want to shift gears once in a while and get on to something else." Agnew predicted that Republican J.

Glenn Beall Jr. would upset Democratic Sen. Joseph D. Tydings in the Maryland Senate race: "It'll be a big surprise, but I think it's going to happen." The vice president said of his nationwide campaigning, "I think I've done what I set out to do." To the Democrats' charge that he used "fear and slander" to win votes for Republicans, he replied, "I think they used more of this than we did." Agnew, who was accompanied by his wife, drove Ii2re from Washington. After voting they returned to their hotel suite in the capital.

Tax Protested At Polling Place PHILADELPHIA (AP) The cry of "taxation without representation" originally provoked a revolution in America, but a group of city wage taxpayers who live outside Philadelphia tried unsuccessfully to take this alleged grievance to the ballot box Tuesday. Seventy-five members of the Non-Resident Taxpayers Assn. of Pennsylvania and New Jersey marched from City Hall here to a nearby polling place, carrying placards denouncing their liability to the 3 per cent wage tax. One member of the group, who identified himself as Michael Nole, of Mantuco, N.J., made a token effort to vote, but was stopped by an election official at the door and told he could not vote because he wasn't registered. Nole said his group plans to file suit against the tax.

Graham County Vote SAFFORD (AP) Graham County, the first county to complete its count in Tuesday's election, went for Democrat Raul Castro and Republican Paul Fannin as 74 per cent of the registered voters cast ballots. Demo Candidates Draw From GOP-Dominated By DAVID E. ROSENBAUM 1970 New York Times News Service NEW YORK Sen. Edmund S. Muskie's national television broadcast Monday night, which politicians believe strengthened his position at the top of the list of potential Democratic candidates, was neither his idea nor his supporters'.

Nevertheless, Sen. George S. McGovern, who also hopes to lead his party's ticket in 1972, was said by intimates to feel he got canned and to have called the Muskie television appearance "politics with a vengeance." The idea for a 15-minute paid broadcast, which was shown on all three commercial networks, following a recorded speech by President Nixon, came from Geoffrey Cowan, a 2S-year-old new-left writer who is a lawyer in Washington. Cowan was active in Sen. Euaene McCarthy's 19(18 presidential campaign, and he and many of the other Democrats who planned, financed and wrote the Muskie broadcast are identified with the wing of tre party that supported the Minnesota Democrat and Sen.

Hughes said Tuesday that "there had to be a response to Nixon" and that he was "pleased there could be a spokesman who could contrast and bring out the problems the way Muskie did." A spokesman for Humphrey said the former vice president was also "delighted" to have Muskie go on television. Some oilier potential presidential candidates were less than happy, however, and felt that they should have been included in a joint broadcast. Goodwin, Rockefeller and a number of other Democrats who helped in planning the speech emphasized in interviews that their participation was in no way intended to commit them to Muskie or any candidate for the presidency.

All are Democrats. In District 12 American Independent Party candidate James Ray was far behind incumbents Bob Fricks and J. Dewberry, both Republicans. Six out of seven candidates for state senator were unopposed. In the other race, Republican Scott Alexander easily took the District 14 seat vacated by Ken Cardella, also a Republican.

District 13; and William Jacquin (R), District 15. By RICHARD SALTUS Star Staff Writer Although gained only one seat in the Pima Coumy delegation to the Arizona Legislature, Democratic canui-dates showed strong support in Republican dominated dis-ticts last night. Helen Grace Carlson drew 6,407 votes in District 14 to win a House seat there, defeating a third-term bid by Republican Albert Williams. Republican David Stone piled up the most votes in that district, to retain his seat. Democrat James Magner was close behind Mrs.

Carlson and outran Williams 6,389 to 6.272. Mrs. Carlson said during the campaign that she would take her broom to Phoenix to sweep out scores of state commissions, agencies and committees. She expressed a "particular concern for problems of youth, elderly, drug abuse, ecology and mass transit." That Democratic victory may have been aided by the fact that 1,184 votes which might have been Republican went to right-wing candidates George Butler and Lawrence F. Oliver of the American Independent Party.

Educators Marshall Chazen and Fred Novy, both. Demo crats, failed to gain seats in the District 13 House race. Incumbent Thomas Goodwin (R) retained his seat and new-comer H. Thomas (Tam) Kin-caid moved into the spot vacated by former House Speaker John Haugh. The totals there were Goodwin, Kincaid, Chazen, 6,438 and Novy, 5,371.

Radio station executive Robert Strauss looked strong in early returns, but fell increasingly farther back in District 15. Republican Tony Buehl, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, ran up a big margin, and Charles Planned Pullout Backed In Mass. BOoTON AP Early returns Tuesday night indicated that Massachusetts supports a planned withdrawal of American troops from Vietnam, rather than a military victory or immediate withdraw al. The proposal for a planned withdrawal appeared to be heavily favored on the statewide ballot, drawing nearly 50 per cent of the early returns. In Boston, however, the option calling for immediate withdrawal trailed by less than one percentage point.
