ONE ARIZONA CANDIDATE IS OUT OF RACE; TWO MORE MIGHT FOLLOW THE political ainsospbere ia Aroeu has been cleared perceptibly by the withdrawal of W. A.

These are the ages for voluntary enlistment. intension ot ine draft ages will automatically eliminate the desirability of accepting volunteers. The selective service so far has saved the nation in -that it has made an army available in the numbers wanted at HIS SWAN SONG Mr. Moear, who is state land conuriaaioner, has been the times desired. The volunteer system would have failed, i tuiuuiccr system uas suctccaca as jar as tse navy is concerned.

The ranks of the navy are filled now. Henceforth, draft men will be assigned to the navy as they are now assigned to the army.

Sidsey P. Osborn, secretary cf state aad an aspiraat far the BOtmaation, is also a conservative, as are also Fred T.

As he race now stands, Colter appears to be leading, with wfc hvh Sutter almost abreast of Osborn and Cobb quotas, is evidently twofold: First because it is desirable The withdrawal of candidate Hoeur is in the nature of to avoid the confusion which results from the volunteering rit sacrifice, Riving op of his owa chances in order to I of registered men, and second because alt who go into class r-etier concentrate the caaservauver gxresgtn ana win oe ia current quotas, it is tne war departments the radical etrmeat. lie aas asaea taai UK support wara uiwuimu io uavc mcra au in ranee ay june next. given to kia be transferred to Mr. Osborn.

It is judge Sutter's hoaie and he will re-rnre his best vote from that coaaty. Bat Cochise county has always heretofore been a tower of strength for Gov. Hunt and it is to be expected that the candidate whom Hunt favors wiH receive a heavy vote from that county. Now, assaariag that Cochise county wiH be considerably cirided, glance again at Maricopa county. As nearly as one could surmise, Moear and Osborn between them held most of the Democratic votes, with Hunt's faction trailing.

Osborn, giving Osborn a strong lead in the second strongest coaaty ia the state. Thus, as stated above, the situation has been somewhat cleared, but sot enoogk to render at all certain the defeat of Mr. Colter. Gov. Host's faction is supposed to number about 11,000 votes which, added to the vote which Mr.

No citizen's personal desires or judgment can pat him where he will be of the greatest service. It may be a copper miner's job to remain a copper miner. A miner in the mines may be worth ten miners in the navy. Registering all men between 18 and 45, the government can then proceed to classify them, taking such as it needs lor tne army, others tor the navy and either allowing the remainder to stay in their previous occupations or shift taem aoout to otser occupations as the needs ot the time may determine.

Volunteering means patriotic confusion. Selective serv ice means patriotic precisten. As for the individual, volun teering is a noble act, but selective service is best for the nation in winning the war. Sure, They Will Fight.

So is the American army, for that matter, and uomisatioa of a conservative candidate, they would en deavor to bring about the withdrawal of another candidate or two, aad ceater the whole conservative vote on one candidate.

They would these 16 youths took chances of death or wounds on the one hand and court martial on the other.

Farewell to Volunteering. "THE volunteer system of recruiting an army has been given the kaoehvat in art order issued simultaneously by the army aad navy departments ending the acceptance of recruits at recruiting stations. This order has sow been very slightly modified so that recruiting offices may accept a few men over draft age for special services when sach men have been asked for by certain branches of the service. The order stopping voluntary enlistments caused much mystification, but the reason is plain enough now.
