Unfortunately the paper repeats its incorrect statement that Frances
Barwood has distanced herself from UFO believers. Compare her own
denial which was distributed by UFO Updates on September 6, URL

Secretary of state: It's Bayless vs. Hamilton
By Jill Jorden Spitz
The Arizona Daily Star
Secretary of State Betsey Bayless, hoping to keep the job she was
appointed to last fall, will face Democrat Art Hamilton in the November
general election.
Bayless captured the Republican nomination last night by defeating
former Phoenix City Council member Frances Emma Barwood.
Hamilton, the House minority leader, was the lone Democrat in the race.
In another Republican primary - which is, in effect, a general election
because there is no Democratic candidate - state Sen. Carol Springer,
61, defeated businessman D.L. Culiver, 39, in the race to be the next
state treasurer.
Springer captured about 62 percent of the vote to 38 percent for
Culiver, the former owner of a Phoenix auto dealership, with about 73
percent of statewide precincts counted.
With the same number of precincts counted, Bayless had 73 percent of
the vote to Barwood's 27 percent.
Bayless, 54, is a former member of the Maricopa County Board of
Supervisors who has 17 years of state government experience. She was
director of the Department of Administration, acting director of the
Department of Revenue and assistant director of the Arizona Board of
Regents.
Bayless was named to the post after it was vacated by Jane Hull. Hull
rose to the Governor's Office after the bank fraud conviction of former
Gov. Fife Symington.
Barwood, 54, captured headlines during her City Council stint by
demanding an explanation of the mysterious lights hundreds of Phoenix
residents reported seeing in March 1997. In announcing her candidacy
early this year, she was accompanied by UFO researchers who said the
campaign would be the first to focus on UFOs.
Extraterrestrial sightings never were a campaign issue, though, and
Barwood has distanced herself from the UFO contingent.
Both the secretary of state and the state treasurer positions pay
$54,600 a year.
