HIT IS DECLARED

Christmas thought.
ARIZONA GOVERNOR
Democrat Is Seated by Su
preme Court, Ousting Camp

LOSER WILL NOT APPEAL

Action Ends Tear of Chaotic
Conditions in Southern State.
PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec IT. George "W.
P. Hunt, a Democrat, first Governor of
Arizona, is again Chief Executive of
the state by virtue of a Supreme Court
decision handed down today. The de
clslon which reverses that of a lower
court seating: Thomas E. Campbell, Re
publican, marks the end of a long: and
bitter political controversy. Mr. Camp
bell will not appeal from the court's
decision, he announced, declaring: "my
ext appeal will be to the people of
rizona. "
The court's decision .declares Hunt
the "duly elected Governor of Arizona
.for the term beginning: the first Mon
day In January, 1917," and holds him
entitled to the salary of the office
since that time. It cancels the election
certificates issued to Campbell and as
sesses the costs of the contest and the
appeal, but divides the costs of . the
action in the lowei court. The court
allowed 15 days for appeal.
As there Is no Arizona provision gov
erning election contests.' the courts
were without statutory guidance.
Development Come Rapidly.
While developments in the contro
versy followed rapidly upon the elec
tion in November, 1916, the climax was
not reached until after the Legislature
had convened, January 8, last.
By that time both Hunt and Camp
bell had been sworn in as Governor and
Campbell had received a certificate of
election, following: canvass of the elec
tion returns by local and state officials.
he situation was rendered more com-
'ex by the fact that many of the leg-
lators were entering upon, their first
terms and so were inexperienced in leg
islative procedure.
The pro-Campbell faction in the leg
islature made the first move, with an
attempt to name a committee to notify
"Governor Campbell" that the Legisla
ture "was now in session," but failed.
Both claimants to the Governor's office
prepared messages, but neither was
sent to the Legislature.
Now for the Rush of
Last-Minute Buying

All Legislation Delayed.
The customary appropriation bill for
legislators' salaries, was delayed, with
other legislation, because legal offi
cers were at a loss to know whether
a measure signed by either, or even by
both, would be legal. Proposals were
made that tho courts be asked by the
Legislature to name a Governor de
facto.
Meanwhile the contest filed by Hunt
dragged through the Superior Court,
and a decision in favor of Campbell
was returned. Hunt, who had retained
the executive office and most of its ap
purtenances despite Campbell's formal
demand for it, relinquished the office,
though still claiming his own election
to it. Campbell moved from the "ex
ecutive" offices established in an of
fice building and Hunt sought an ap
peal from the lower court's decision
with the supreme tribunal of the state.
Governor Campbell, who is in Pres
cott, will return to Phoenix tomorrow.
As soon as It was learned that the
opinion had been handed down the
resignation of Dwight B. Heard, chair
man of the State Council of Defense,
and G. H. Smalley, secretary of the
council, were mailed to Governor
Hunt.
Resignations Called For.
Later in the day most of the ap
pointees of Governor Campbell re
ceived communications from him by
long distance telephone directing that
their resignations be transmitted to
himself. Leroy Ladd. former private
secretary to Governor Hunt, inquired
at tho Governor's office today when
the executive offices would be sur
rendered. Secretary Malcolm A. Fraser
replied that his answer must await
the return of Governor Campbell.
The decisive feature of the Supreme
Court's decision was in the matter of
Douglas Precinct No. 1, in which the
trial court had counted for Campbell
42 ballots which bore marks of erasures
in the square over the Republican col
umn and had been marked in" the Dem
ocratic square. The Supreme Court
restored these ballots to Hunt. The
court held that there was not suffi
cient proof of fraud to warrant either
such a transfer of (he ballots or the
rejection of the precinct.
The general rule laid down by the
opinion as to "the Intention of the
voter", is that Intention shall be re
spectd unless it is expressed in a man
ner directly In conflict with the in
structions of the statute.

a small green frog. Feeling that it

dinner.
The package bears no return ad

from the moisture in the moss and
foliage, on which In indelible pencil is
written: T. hope you like the present
I am sending you." It is unsigned.
