THE GOVERNOR
 |S SHOWN UP
Deficiency in Backbone a Possible Cause for Split
 With Influential Yava- paian; Passes Up Chance to Solder Political Ties.

Governor Hunt is q four flusher. He demonstrated it conclusively yes terday. He might stand up bravelv before bullets, take without wincing the drubbing of his political adver- saries and plot deeply for their un- doing, but when it comes to the fun damental principles of how to pop ularize himself with his constituency as every successful politician must do the governor is appalingly de- ficient.
 Mike Burns, well known. we'll educated and respected Mohave Ap- ache Indian of Camp Verde, called on
 the governor yesterday, accompanied
 by Mrs. Burns and their youngest son
 Joe, babe in arms. The governor greeted MT. Burns with cordiality and
 turning toward his good wife, whose straight black hair was not marred
 by the eye-offending millinery of con- ventional womankind, he bowed with Chesterfieldian grace Then his eye fell upon the baby and-the governor passed. He did cOndescend to shake it's chubby hands and tell little Joe he might some day be president, but
 as for kissing the infant-well, the
 governor is not candidate this year and by next year perhaps his over
 sight will be forgotten.
 But there is more to it than the vote of Mike Burns, for Mike is d voter and is listed on the Yavapai | roll. It is likely to lead to a schism
 in the democratic party, for little Joe | is named after Joe Dillon, who is l supposed to hold the democratic pOli- | tics of Yavapai county in the hollow 1 If his hand. It is possible the gov ernor may make amends to MT. Dl- | lon and harmoniZe matters before an
 other state election occurs, both hav- l ing political interests at stake under which circumstances leaders sOme- 1 times sacrifice personal feelings to political eXpediency. But that Joe | Dillon will not resent this affrOnt to | his uamesake in some way is ho+ to i De expected A governor who refuses | tC kiss the babies of his admirinS | constituency may easily discern or the
 near horizon. the setting of his off 1 cial star and it is d cinch that Joe | Dillon would be willing to kiss two | Indian babies if it would insure his l ICh ey emert of the eXecutiYC char. 1 The visit of the Burns family NaS 1 occasioned by the fact thAl an elder son, Solomon Burns, is now doing

 few years ago, so vigorously that | blood poison ensued and she died, aft
 CT which Solomon was put over for | fifteen years. Just now Solomon is
 engaged in cooperating with Engineer l Cobb in the construction of the Tenn
 pc bridge and his father and mother | being employed in work up in the l edge of the hill country, thought it would be a timely opportunity to call
 upon their son and note the progress he is making under the benign influ- l ence of the uplift resort.
 They "hOofed it. down as far as Glendale where they made their plans
 known to C. F. Gillett of that town. | MT. Gilett being a kindly man and having an automobile, told Mike he | would give him a lift and thereupon
 loaded the family into his machine. 1 It was a real pleasure also for the
 Burns family had never before had
 a joy ride in a real buzz wagon. They first wanted to visit the governor to learn definitely if Solomon was on the Tempe job. The governor ascertained
 by telephone that he was, Whereupon
