Hunt Says Officers Are
 Elected For One Term

Governo5-elect Hunt is reported 6. saying that it was the intention of the constitutional convention that the first corps of otbcers should remain in of6ce but one year; and ss he ~ss 8 member of the convention, it is req scnabIe to suppose he knows what be is talking about. The fact that the con.titution leaves the question open. and is construed by many. both in Cochise county and throughout the new state to mean . three year term will probably make it necessary to have . decision on the point. The delay of Governor Sloan in setting the date of the election has brought about . peculiar situation and prolifc of much discussion.
