Of Democratic approval on the Gov

baked and could not be persuaded

worse for Hunt.
Now the Recall.
Isn't peculiar that a mans troub-

rabbits in that they multiply rapid

perfectly willing to stay with a man
and become permanent guest in

Winkleman, right near the home
town OF the Governor that petitions
are being circulated for his recall.
although on what grounds il is not
stated.
How 1t Was Done.
The second session of the State
Council was held down under the
Phoenix National Bank Tuesday
and the Hunt and anti-Hunt crowds
were there in full force. Both sides
had platforms and both were in at
tendance for the purpose OF seeing
them adopted. The session, accord
ing to all reports was a warm one,
lasting until the day had waned and
the electric lights had begun to
burn. And even then the burning
question had not been settled. The
i-Hunt men could readily see the
political expediency Of endorsing the
administration as a whole. but failed
TO see the necessity OF endorsing il
by mentioning any names except
those of Senators Smith and AS
hurst, and Congressman Hayden.
They pointed with pride to these
three opponents Of the democrats,
but denied the same recognition TO
Governor Hunt. IL was also some
considerable task to get an endorse
ment OF the recall in the platform.
Neil L. Bailey was against it, and
had two votes, there were other
against it. but in view OF the con-
ditlons the conservative democrats
didn't quite see why they should go
back on all the propositions that
mad hitherto been supported by
them so they endorsed il without
enthusiasm.
In the platform the democratic
legislature was congratulated on the
constructive G) legislation it placed
upon the statute books; the amend
ments submitted to the constitution,
the recall of the judiciary, (perhaps
Tor local reasons); the amendment
giving wider latitude to the tax COM
mission, and allowing the state to
engage in industrial pursuits; as
wei as that allowing cities to in
crease their indebtedness are en-
dorsed.
The national platform is endorsed,
'he national nominees congratulated
ana support pledged to them; the
ofeet primary was coldly assented
TO- an endorsement OF the actions
OF William Jennings Bryan was
turned down; and this sentence in
me tentative draft of the platform
was for some unknown reason re-
i'rred to oblivion. 1--WE stand unal-
'erably opposed to old guard bos-
s'sm' to coercion in every form and
10 al manner OF questionable tao
ues--and the men for which they
sand and we pledge--to labor faith
'o'Iy and persistently to relegate all
'uch men and measures to the
shades OF political oblivion" yet fol-
lowing this the committee endorsed
