CONSUMERS RISE
 IN TREfHHii WfhTs

The great army of food speculators and middlemen which has advanced the price of staple necessaries of life to an unprecedented extent was near its Waterloo when the sun went down last Wednes- day night in several cities.
 The men who intervene be- tween the producer and the consumer of fod products were endeavoring to eXtOrt from both all that the traffic would bear.
 Even in products in which there was not an actual shortage in pro- duction, the speculators, cold-storage men and middlemen made the retail prices practically prohibitory to the average householder In some in- stances producers mindful of the folly of killing the goose that lays the gold en eggs, contracted the fever of avar- ice, and nearly did if not quite double the usual prices of commodities. Then came the deluge.
 Almost like an army responding to the orders of it's commanding officer, the consumers all over the country rose in wrath and exasperation and struck at the Thanksgiving turkey as the nearest and most convenient target in sight The boycott extended to eggs and other concomitants of the Thanks giving feast. It was not confined to any particular locality, but was ap- piled simultaneously in most of the large cities. As the result, producers, and retail distributors were confronted with nOn-purchasing pub lie. Hundreds of thousands of fami lies voluntarily deprived themselves of certain holiday luxuries in the in-

 But would the governor accept an office by an interpretation by the courts which would thwart the will of the people whom he has so dearly loved and to whose judgment he has always expressed so great a willing ness to bow?

If we have understood the
 Hon. Eugene s. Ives, coun- sel for Governor Hunt in the coming contest, alright, we do not believe there is a ground
 for a contest. It has been, and is, the theory of the EX- aminer that when the margin is so close in so large a vote as was cast at the late election a contest is warranted if the apparently defeated candidate. has reason for believing that some votes were counted that ought not to have been count ed and that some votes were rejected which ought to have been counted.
 MT. Ives, however, disclaims any such grounds for contest No charges of fraud anywhere are made and no irregularities are being alleged. The whole vote of the state, every ballot, is to be recounted That is, without assuming, without even suspecting, but only blindly hoping that some CT TOTS will be found to have been made against the governor in the official count, another count is to be asked for. All the Democratic election boards in the state and almost all of them were Democratic, may have made enough mistakes to have deprived the governor, the so-called Democratic can didate, of the election. It was never contemplated that an election contest should be based on such grounds.
 MT. Ives, however, says further, that he is confident that before the recount of the Maricopa vote is completed it will be found that enough votes would have been taken from Mir Campbell to insure the reelection of Governor Hunt. Yet no fraud or irregularities are charged Then, where is it ex- pected that these changes will occur, unless it be among those ballots on which voters marked cross at the head of the Democratic ticket and a cross after the name of MT. Campbell? If all such ballots should be rejected or so interpreted that they could not count fo MT. Campbell, his narrow
