BISBEE VOTER HAS
 FAITH PEOPLE WILL
 DEFEAT GOV, HUNT
Believes Hunt And His Record In
 Office Are Enough To Warrant His Defeat And Election Of
 Ralph Cameron, His Opponent

halpn cameron, HIS opponent
 "The Hunt and the Cameron forces came together in Bisbee in the last few days" said a well known Bisbee politician last night "and no one can be found who is propneucaly enough inclined to hazard a guess as to the advantage gained by either side. Great losses were inflicted upon the Hunt forces, every one admits because they came here with confidence and left with the fear of God firmly implanted in their hearts.
 "The awful but truthful arraign- ment to which they were subjected by the Republican statisticians has car ried consternation and dismay to the most hopeful of the Hunt entourage Lamar Cobb is softpeddling these day. on his five million dollar hobby; Sid. ney Osborn is wondering how it would be to be secretary of state to one Ralph Cameron; in fact the whole bunch went away disheartened and downcast and chastened in spirit
 And it seems to the lay-observer that in the very hour of their victory, defeat is to be their portion.
 "For list you to the indisputable facts that have been cited against the Hunt administration, for their verity cannot be challenged and they are of a character that would defeat and shame a Tammany administration in hardened and corrupt New York.
 "It is asseverated that the wealthy rotund, self-satished Governor pays no taxes on his hundreds of thousands whilst inveighing against the recrean- cy and evasiveness of the corporations in respect to this self-same obligation No, Governor Hunt, bulging with wealth made out of the citizens of Arizona. pays no taxes in Arizona.
 "The Governor of this state does not pay his room rent at the Ford Hotel at Phoenix, but stays there as a gratuitous guest because of the office that the people have bestowed upon him. But that doesn't matter much, although it ill-comports with the dig nifty and conduct of a governor.
 "But this business of killing people with impunity is an entirely different matter.
 "The man who murders his fellow man decides quickly and irrefutably that that man is going to die. He is too criminal and ignorant to realize that that man will die, anyway, and without his assumption of God-like ] functions. But he kills his man. and instead of being made to pay the ! penalty of a life for a life, a maudlin sentimentalist invites him to a party to dance, with arms enclasped round innocent blushing girls.
 "Fourreen or these fell and sum ! mary murderers are now tagging su- lperfuous on the stage at Florence. ! Fourteen men who have nos hesitated 10 send other and, usually, better men unto their Maker-fourteen men who have been convicted of the cardinal crime of murder by twelve of their fellow men, and sentenced only to pay the penalty that they summarily inflicted upon their respective vic. tins, are now suffered to languish in the penitentiary at Florence because a sentimental governor has arrogated all the law unto himself and refuses to carry out it's mandates Does he execute these degenerates? No. He in. vites them to parties and dances. How would you like to have your beautiful pink and white, budding daughter dance with a convicted murderer 10 is to these extremes that the incum- bent of the highest office of Arizona has gone.
 At Florence, one of Arizona's most beautiful hamlets, there is working as a porter a negro who was convicted of the most awful of crimes, He was convicted of rape He is now working as a porter in a hotel, where he comes into contact with women-wives, moth CTS and daughters of Arizonans. Who can tell when his aboriginal tenden. cies may not break forth again in a ! IfNtllAlhM hA ANt uNANNAn NAAiHf Abl which society endeavored to incarcer. ate him, and was defeated of it's pur- pose only through the mawkish sen timentality of a governor who places l himself above the law
 "In the financial extravaganza of the administration of the state, even tine state auditor man of the governors own faith, had to rebel against its prohigacy. Wastefulness and extravagance are terms unable to convey a suggestion of what has been done It has been a riot, a revel, an orgie of spending the hard-eamed dol- lars of the toilers of this common wealth He in the states employ who ] has not an automobile has but failed to have the nerve to ask for one Lit l fIa hfrrar orovrarworfo rtuhf-h H
