TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 9. Hoval A.
Smith, progressive republican candi
date for United States senator, has
declared for the people's presidential
primary and pledges himself if elect
ed to urge the first legislature to
pass a law as soon as it convenes pro
viding for the advisory vote for presi
dent next spring when the delegates"of
the national conventions are elected
and making it compulsory on the dele
gates to follow the advisory vote of
their respective parties.
"I believe every Arizona voter
should have the right not only to vote
for president next year," says Hoval
Smth, "but that the people should
have a hand in naming the nominees
of their respective parties. I think,
the LaFolIettc republicans and Taft
republicans and Roosevelt republicans
should have the right to east their
vote for the man of their choice
when thev elect delegates to the
CAPTAIN DOYLE
next republican national convention;
also that the democrats who favor
Woodrow Wilson or Champ Clark or
Judson Harmon or William Jennings
Bryan should have a direct voice in
the naming of the next democratic
presidential candidate.
"If I am elected to the senate I
shall regard my election as the en
dorsement of the presidential primary
law and shall urge upon the legisla
ture to follow up with the resubmis
sion of the recall of judges to a
vote of the people by enacting "the
presidential primary law and when I
get to Washington I shall use my in
fluence as a senator to make thia
presidential primary law nationwide
in its application. I think the people
of Arizona are just as capable to
cast an advisory vote for president
a they are to cast an advisory voter
for senator."
Hova! Smith will advocate the
presidential primary law in every
county in the new state.

FRUITS IS REPORTED
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, I). V., Oct. 9. It
is declared there is a shortage of
citruc fruits in the north due, it is
said, to a law in Florida prohibiting
the shipment of ripe fruits. There
is also higher prices prevailing. The
general pure food laws which prevent
transportation of artificially colored
fruits is also adding to the shortage.
"Fruit may be picked green and
ripened by natural process, said Dr.
Wiley, chief of tho bureau of chem
istry, "without running counter to
the pure food law. Green fruit rip
ened by the sweating process, aid of
chemicals or by steam heat in cars
cannot be transported without viola
tion of the law."
