OBSTRUCTING THE COURT.
 Proceedings thus far in the gubernatoral contest with satisfaction the majority of Ari zonas electorate Expressions of heard every side Present prospects that the business of State administration will be demoralized of the year and continue until Governor is tablished in office
 If politics had been sternly divorced from the issue at the very beginning there would have been different story tell survey of the proceedings date dis closes evidence which otherwise than rebound to discredit the Hunt faction The piant tool of this faction has been Secretary of State Osborn. Until he permitted others mold his official actions in the guber material fight Osborn esteemed by and women parties throughout the He had to be proud of the him. Those who endorsed him be ashamed of him. He has betrayed their confidence.
 The course which Osborn was called upon follow was beset by no uncertainties The directed him certificate of election whomsoever received majority of ballots He had no official concern the legitimacy iegiimacy of these ballots and the act of his issuing an election certificate would have had bearing the final verdict be rendered in to the ballots. Consequently osborns performance than gratuitous attempt to play Hunt poi- tics; deliberate effort contribute advantage that should have been started and continued with absolute impartality.
 The unsavory conduct of the Secretary State has supplied an excuse Hunt lawyers delay the acknowledgment of MT Campbers tentative election. On the returns this acknowledgement is ry before further steps be taken Judge Stanford has rightly held the Hunt lawyers using Osborns recalcitrancy peg hang their fight have adopt sd iirV Of be Of constructive from every active agent in the We arrive something; to get somewhere. We a Governor of Arizona; not interested in political knockdown drag-out fight. Common the powerless take nizance of the the election is officially recognized. The of a certificate NIT. Campbell immediately supplies the ground for The act in does that MT Campbell is guar anteed the governorship have hold. Arizona does not want him as Chief Executive honor less than iron clad Arizona wants Hunt Governor if he the electorate willed

But elections not decided the strength of personal opinions A Hunt adheren and Campbell adEeren could talk them selves black in theace the gubernaoTia fight but the people of this State would accept final verdict the argument him who prayed the loudest and survived longest
 Obstructonist methods if continued will prejudice Ar against Hunt Recourse cheap political subter fuges decision secured expeditOusly and without passion conserving orderly procedure and esa fishing the merits of the case is what is wanted
 Let's have it.
