CAMERON PREDICTS THAT PAST RECORD
 WILL DEFEAT HUNT
Republican Nominee Says Arizo-
 mas Governor Has Proved Weak And Incompetent And People Win Not Reinstate Him


 PHOENIX. Oct 13.-Ralph 1T. Cam eron severely arraignes Governor Hunt in the following interview which he gave out today
 "lt should be the aim of every cit izen of Arizona-man or woman to cast his or her vote on November 8 for candidate whom, if elected will bring the greatest degree of prosper tty happiness and general content ment to the state
 Governor Hunt. during the three years of his administration. has es- abolished a record upon which he must stand or fall. I have no person al fight to make on him. His sturdy lSnesty" was heralded broadcast throughout the state during the cam paign of 1911i His prated "integri- ty" was one of the pillars employed in supporting the pedestal of Dem ocratic hope Mir Hunt has been in office now for a period of three years. during which time he has had ample opportunity to verify and make good the claims of his supporters during the campaign of three years ago. wish Co state that at this time there is a vast difference of opinion among the original supporters Of Mir Hunt, and that the banners upon which. were inscribed sturdy honesty" and "unimpeachable integrity" will not be thrown to the breezes during the present campaign.
 That the governor has erred in judgment 1as proven weak. vacil- latin and incompetent; has in many instances ubsstiuted socialistic prin- ciples for those of the Democratic party and precipitated the state in disaster and in nationwide disgrace and discredit is the indictment re- turned against him by a goodly per l the conservative, thinking voters of centage of the members of the Dem ocratic party and a large portion Of the state
 In addition to the charge of incom- potency the administration has been characterized by reckless. almost criminal extravaganza It has install ed a horde of high salaried attaches. chosen rather because of their per sonal friendship and their extensive blood and voting relationship. than | for their competency and actual ne- 1 cessity and all that a powerful ma chine might be erected with sufficient Istrength to withstand the assaults from the more Intelligent within the Democratic party and from the voters in the Republican party and its fol- lowing. The strength of this Hunt machine was demonstrated at the re- Icent state council of the Democratic party when the voice of conservative Democrats were hushed and their hands tied that the personal ideas" Of Hunt might be advanced as the policies of the real Democratic party.
 The vote cast for Doctor Hughes ! disclosed in a mild way the bitter anti-Hunt feeling within the Demo. cratic party.
 That the voters on Nov will em. Dhatically express their disapproval Of the Hunt regime is my firm be lief l feel that my record as a ser want O fthe people will influence a large majority of the voters in Ari zona Co give their support, and firm in this faith. I pledge my best efforts to-
