THREE ARE AFTER
 THE SPEAKERSHIP
Scramble for Job Threatens Hunt Combine in Arizona House.

Phoenix, Arizona, April 7.-Trouble near dominating the lower house dur ing the regular session of the second state legislature. Three members want to be speaker. Unless Hunt can again bring his forces into line. and force two of the ambitious ones to quit the fight, the combine may go % pieces at the beginning of the special session.
 Pinkley, of Pinal; Powers. of Mari copa, and Proctor, of Navajo. are the three Hunt men who would displace William B. Brooks as speaker of the house. There are IS Ihen in the Hunt combine and IT who are perfectly sat isfied with MT. Brooks. If the F have their way no new speaker will be elected at the opening of the extra session.
 IL is of the highest importance to Hunt, therefore, that his supporters concentrate on one man. Either of the three candidates would be acceptable to him and his task is to decide which can be elected with the least danger of disrupting the organization There is possibility that the house may spend several days at the begin ming fighting over the speakership- But Hunt is an artist in lining up his forces and the chances are that the course of the combine will be fixed be- fore the gavel falls at noon on the 2S- At this time Brooks does not appear to have more than an even chance of retaining his position.
 Stormy Session Anticipated
 Aside from the fight in the house over the speakership, the indications point decidedly to a stormy session Representative John Christy and oth- CT members of the opposition are in clined to take the stand of representa- tive Goodwin and refuse to vote for an appropriation Of any kind till the state has an adequate land code Appropriations to be Cut
 At the capital the general feeling is that every appropriation. assuming l that the general appropriation bin wm not be blocked by the anti-administra- tion crowd, will be cut to the limit The legislators will have nothing to do but fight over appropriations and that, it is believed, will result in gen erous cuts.
 Estimating the length of the extra session is a popular indoor sport in Phoenix. It is admitted that general Appropriations bill could be passed in week, but the estimates run all the way from 30 to 60 days.
