Like Sllverbell In Pima county, although It Is entitled to a justice of the peace and a constable, there are no candidates for either office on either ticket. WILLCOX, Aug. 10.

He didn't tell anybody why. Then he gave It to his Republican friend, H. R. Slsk, publisher of the Herald. Now this bit of blue china adorns the editorial desk and the friends of the giver and glvee are asking what It symbolizes.

Everyone knows a pink elephant represents a headache the next morning and a white elephant a total loss, while a natural gray pachyderm has long stood for the Grand Old Party. But a blue one?

MUST BE ONE SIDED One of the contests In the Democratic ranks that seems to be attracting little attention, probably on the theory that It Is one-sided, Is that between E. R. Thurman, Democratic encumbent, and Gab-ralth A. Little, Republican, for county attorney. Thurman Is completing his first term and served one year by appointment, as police judge.

His career In the present office has not been particularly hectic, with little to call attention to It. He has had two murder trials, breaking even. Little has not figured before lii politics. Another race that seems to be taken for granted Is that between Harry V. Farrlor, encumbent assessor, and two opponents, Frank THE SIX REPUBLICANS Of the six Republicans running, only one, Mrs.

Ada E. Jones, recorder, has no opponent. The others are Little, for county attorney, the three encumbent supervisors, Malcolm Mlddleton, F. W. Hannah and A.

His 63-pape confession was lfrned and In the hands of authorities. He pleaded that punishment, preferably death In the electric chair, be expedited.

He had renounced Insanity In making his confession. "No, sir," hs said, "1 am not Insane. I am just abnormal. I knew I was committing murder and am rot trying to dodge the penalty now." Edward W. Thomerson, district attorney, said the case probably would be presented to a grand Jury to convene August 25.

He feels that the water laws of the state were written with only the Colorado river In view and wants to amend them to make the Santa Cruz project easier to build and develop.

He Is confident that his sponsorship of this cause will bring him many votes. MOSTLY DEMOCRATIC As in Pima county, the Republicans down here are registering Democratic In large numbers. Otherwise, they might as well not vote at the primaries, for they have no contests, and they want something to say about their governmental affairs. Particularly, they say. Is this truo in the case In which they probably will not be a Republican candidate and a nomination Is equivalent to an election.

One of them expressed the opinion today that if he registered as a Republican he was virtually disfranchised except for six offices, and he still can make his choice there in the general election. LEE HAS OPPOSITION One would expect a man named Robert E. Lee to be a Democrat and he is. He Is completing his second term as clerk of the superior court and running for a third. He has as an opponent a newcomer.

The difference Is that Fralzer's vote will be In an NEW YORK.
