NO APPOINTMENTS DECIDED UPON BY
 GOVERNOR AS YET

 Soon As Possible
C0CHlSE TO BE CARED FOR
(By Joe Conners)


 T have not definitely decided upon @ single appointment. have enough applications to rim every office to which l have power to appoint from each of two different counties and every day get new applications. There were mere than fifty in this ? mornings mall. l guess 1 will be able to select from large enough field SO T will be able to get capable men for the different offices of the state"
 Such was the statement of Govern or Elect Hunt last night. He was resting in his office after a strenous day with his stenographer, having just caught up with the work the day before. For a time he kept up with the correspondence of each day but now he is a day behind. Judging from the way his mail is increasing he will either have 10 hire some more stenographers or let the work get behind.
 He then pointed out that the recent reports from Phoenix regarding his appointments we're ridiculous. He said he considered them Q joke He declared the absurdity of the list was shown when one looked it over and sav that Pima and Cochise were both left of the list entirely He is well pleased with the majority he got in Pima and will give the county an ap- poiutment. Coehise, the most popu- lous county in the state solidly. democratic has a right to part of the patronage which will be distributed by the new governor when he as sUmes office.
 WiH Relieve Tension
 Until he is inaCgurated he will make no announcements as to the men who will be appointed However he stated he would not delay his an nouncements a moment longer than was necessary as he desired to re lieve the tension of the candidates as soon as possible
 The idea seems to prevail that about half the population can quit work as soon as governor Hunt takes office. and that they will be given easy jobs with big pay. There are but few offices for him to distribute Few of them are such as to make the one who holds them opulent The honor is not great, and the work in most of these offices are hard. Still there are many who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the good of the state.
 At the present time Governor Hunt is giving much time to the considera- tion of the appointment of-a mine inspector When the new legislature creates the ohice he wants "a good man Tor the place He must be sober. reliable, capable and a miner of long experience, a man who has been un- der the ground, and worked there
 The problem has been passed aljIg to the mining men of the state and the governor has asked for recon, mendations from the men who are to benefit most from the creation of the office, the miners of the state.
 Cochise County DeserVes it
 That Cochise stands good chance of getting this appointment is the consensus of opinion among the many local friends Of the governor. The. county furnishes a large part of the copper and other minerals, it is a large and poPulous county. it is sol idly democratic and gave the govern bA FlNAA a AeA e7t Alt@JbA AAs " Af AAA~h should not a man from Dear old Co chise" get the job? Ask those who should be in a position to know. The governor is willing to discuss the appointments in general but he is not committing himself to any one person
 As Governor Elect he is extremely careful not to make any statement in regard to the organization of the legislature. But as George W. P. Hunt. citizen of Arizona he talked in formally about the men who have been elected. As governor he is will. ing to say that he thought the men elected would make fine record. As George Hunt, private citizen, he talk. ed of his ideas as to the fitness Of the different candidates. With about
