McClintock Sought for Arizona Senate Nomination
In Phoenix on August 2 supporters seek Colonel James H. McClintock’s consent to enter the Republican primary for United States senator. Local Republicans, confident despite a likely Democratic edge in Arizona, say he could win. In Globe, Judge D L Conningham moves to mandamus Frank L. Gates to accept Lee D. Martin's nominating papers for district No. 1, contending Gates blocked them citing no vacancy under Senate Bill No. 24.
