 Governor Hunts Statement.
 Phoenix, Arizona, Sept. 13, 1916. Governor Hunt returned tonight from Gila County, where he spent Primary Day, and, being virtually as- sured of his renomination, by a large majority issued the following state ment:
 To the People of Arizona:
 As the incoming returns indicate, quite conclusively, that my renomi- nation for the Governorship is certain, I hasten to express to the Arizona public my profound appreciation of the support so freely given to my can didacy While I would not be hu- man if did not experience on this occasion the utmost satisfaction at my renomination, 1 realize quite fully that the greatest victory consists in the electorate's vindication of repre- sentative government, as embraced by the States Constitution and the record of constructive public effort which is based upon its fundamental principles. Surely it has been demonstrated, beyond a doubt, thai the people of Arizona will not readily submit to the yoke of organized greed. While the campaign before the Primaries was marked by bitter attacks upon those rights and princi. pies which Arizonas people hold most. dear, I personally harbor no re. sentiment against those Democratic voters who, for reasons which they doubtless deemed worthy, opposd me in my race for renomination. It is my earnest hope that all such Demo crats will accept the result of the Primary Election in spirit of gen. erosity and fair play, turning their efforts henceforth to the winning of great victory for Arizona's Demo- cracy in November.
 Gratefully and sincerely,
 GEO. W. P. HUNT Thomas E.. Campbell, republican candidate for governor, was nomi- mated without opposition.
