too great and after lingering three
days he died.
For the last three years Mr. Geare

SEEKING CHANGE IN
PRIMARY STATUTES
On account of the difficulty that is
being experienced in getting petitions
properly signed, there is already talk
to the effect that the first state leg
islature may pass some kind of
amendment as to the primary law.
making it less difficult to get the
names of candidates on the ticket.
In the matter of precinct elections,
it is necessary that the circulator
have an extensive acquaintance among
the voters of the precinct, and this,
to a certain extent, places the work
of circulating petitions on a certain
ew. This "certain few" bunch have
been the goats of politics for the
last few weeks, and a number of
staunch partisians have placed their
foot down with a refusal to carry
any more petitions.
A candidate for county office, yes
terday stated that he believed the
first legislature would amend the
election law so as to make it less
onerous in this respect. In this first
experiment, on a small scale, of gov
ernment by petition, it is pretty well
agreed that it is more or less of a
failure, at least in form Bisbee Re
view. ACQUITTED OF CHARGE
