HUNTISM NOW
A DEAD ISSUE
PEOPLE OF STATE FAIL TO EN-.
DORSE ONCE POPULAR IDOL
CAMPBELL OPPOSED SPECIAL
PRIVILEGES TO ANY CLASS
AND WON.

AND WON.
! Now that the, tumuM and the shout
ing has died and the battle is lost
and won politicians are busy analyz-
ing the results Of the election. The
result of the goveTncrship figtt is
conceded to be nothing less than a
revolt against Huntism and whether
or not the governor is found to have
| been reelected, 1t is unaniOmusly
granted that he has been eliminated
from politics. Indeed, some Of the
wise cnes in his own party figure
that Hunts Reelection by a majority
OF less than two hundred would mo1s
effectively eliminate him than for
him to be defeated by an equal num-
ber of votes.
Hunt was openly endorsed by the
state convention of the state fedora
| ton of labor and it advertised him
as its candidate. 1t was this conven-
ticn which was dominated by the
| Western Federation Of Miners and
the endorsement was in repayment
| tor Hunts aid in the Clifton -Morenci
strike. Sheriff Cash, defeated at the
| primary, and again, as an indie
| pendent, at the election, also had the
!
endorsement of union labor Hunt,
AdJutant General Harris and Cash
were the three majcrdomos of the
| striking miners, mos& CT whom could
not speak English
! Campbell Springs Surprise.
With rricn Iabcr lined up for
Hunt, giving him a pre.election lead
q as many votes as constitute the
federation, it seemed hopeless for
Campbell, but the latter sprung q
surprise, Many had thought he
would try to beat Hunt at his own
game. Of ktssingthehandof labor. that
he would try TO Hunt Hunt. But
Campbel came cut squarely against
special privileges to any class
whether union labor or capital. 1t
was the duplication Of Hunts stand
that there could be no anicable re-
iatlons between employer and EN-,
ploye. and that the employe must
take what he wanted by force. Even
IN BIsbee, after he was hooted when
he made his declaration CT fairness
and Justice but no more, for all class
es, his auditors remained to cheer.
A Campaign Incident.
Bisbee was the scene of another
campaign incident that undoubtedly
had Its Influence in the election. In
Bisbee is restaurant operated by
pioneer A1dzonan, William Truax.
He and Campbell We're friends many
years ago in the northern part CT ths
state. About year ago the cooks
and walters uniCn Of Bisbee de-
manded that Truax employ no one
out members of their union, despite
the Fact that he was already paying
wages much higher than the union
scale. Truax, being made CT The
stuff that makes pioneers, refused
1he demands Of the union and the
tight was ON. Pickets were main.
5ained i'm front of the restaurant.
When Campbell went to Bisbee
ON his campaign of the state, he
naturally looked UP his old friend
Tnuax. and they ate together and
talked over oldtimes. AS Campbell
emerged picket reinforced by Bill
Cleary, an agitator, and so-caued
"friend of labor" raised a hue and
cry to embarrass Campbell, and Gle
ary. HUNT halberdier. generously
scattered the news around the state.
Campbell took UP the gauntlet ON
1he issue of fair play and turned it
against the unionists.
Mother of Olscord:
Mother Jones, the notorious fire
brand, was also a factor i'm the
"recking of the Hunt machine, for
she dnsUlted every decent element in
The state by her foul expressions. At
the city hall plaza meeting, there waa
seen the remarkable contrast of a
minister Dra wing and Moth Tonas
exhorting
AS one wit put it, The minister
put Jesus Christ upon a pedestal and
Mother Jones promptly knocked him
down.
They Wouldn't Mix.
1t was not to be expected that de
vout or religiouspeople, or even those
