SPAIN REPLIES ID
 THE WILSON NOTE
rRepubllcan A. p. Leased Wirel

MADRID. Dec 30.-(Via Paris.)- )- The Spanish government has sent a note in reply to President Wilson with reference to peace, as follows:
 'The Spanish government has re- ceived from the ambassador of the United States the note sent by the president of the United States to the belligerent nations and another com munication in which it is said the movement is opportune for action by the government of the United States.
 "The Spanish government. in answer to the initiative of the president of the United States, knowing the various i'm pressions produced, believe that the action in which Spain is invited to participate will be inefficacious, eSpe cially as the central empires have ex- pressed their intention that the peace conditions shall be accorded exclusively among the belligerents
 Nevertheless, the Spanish govern ment, having in consideration the noble desires of the American government, which are worthy of all peoples is dis posed. to associate itself with every negotiation which has for it's object the facilitating of the humanitarian work of ending the present war.
 Spain. however, will suspend all action until the time when her efforts and work in favor of peace can be more useful and efficacious than at the present time. Until then the Span ish government believes that it would be opportune to declare with regard to an entente of the neutral powers for the defense of their interests. that it is disposed now as it was in the be-

In the presence of d score of wit nesses, Thomas E. Campbell took the formal oath of office as governor of Arizona at eleven o'clock yesterday morning.
 The oath was administered by Judge Frank Lyman, in whose chambers the impressive ceremony was held.
 Judge Lyman was selected by the republican state committee for the ad- ministration. of the oath for the reason that Judge Stanford and the justices of the supreme court will be called upon in the course of the contest to pass upon the rights of MT. Campbell and Governor Hunt.
 With his head proudly erect and his right hand raised. the first republican elected to the highest office in the state, stood before the first superior judge to administer the oath.
 Do you Thomas E. Campbell sol emnly swear that you will support the Constitution of the United States and the constitution and the laws of the State of Arizona; and that you will true faith and allegiance bear to the same. and defend them against all en- emies whatsoever and that you will faithfully and impartialy discharge the duties of the office of Governor of Arizona to the best of your ability, so |help you God?' asked Judge Lyman.
 q do" earnestly responded MT. Campbell
 Judge Sloan was the first to offer his congratulations to the governor and his example was whole heartedly fol- lowed by the few lawyers and news papermen present.
 Although it had been rumored that the governor elect would take his oath of office it was not understood where the ceremony would be held. It was not until yesterday morning in fact, that Thomas Maddox, chairman of the republican state central committee and upon his acceptance of the honor, Mir. Campbell was notified.

BELIEVE BASIS LAID MAKING FOR PROGRESS
 M PLANS FOR PEACE
A. p. Leased Wlre1


 WASHINGTON Dec. 30.-There were no official expressions here of the views of President Wilson and the ad- ministration on the entente reply to the German peace proposals, for the dual reason that the United States is act ing only as an intermediary between the belligerents and because a policy of silence has been adopted during this stage of the peace negotiations.
 The unofficial opinion, which prob ably was d reflection of the official hope for progress toward peace, was that some means for further eX- change between the warning powers would be found and that even if the present negotiations fail q basis has been laid which it was hoped would make for progress in the final analysis.
 First in formal comment by one off cial who had had a chance to study carefully an official forecast and who checked against it the full press text was that the allies had responded very much as expected: that they had played their strongest cards for moral support among their own people and in neutral countries, and that while they had made 1t hard for Germany to reply without decidedly changing her tone, they had still left the door open for another advance.
 Official Washington. however. was deeply perplexed as to the future and admitted that it probably depended on the international conditions and confidence of the two warning groups, and secondly on how far President Wilson would decide tu push his own peace efforts On the whole. first comment indicated that hopes of an early peace may have diminished, but not disappeared.
 After reading the unofficial text of the note. Count von Bernstorff. the German ambassador, authorized the following statement
 President Wilson having suggested the finding of method of stating terms I do tot think tiiat this note will De answered by my government until after the entente allies have replied to the presidents suggestion, stating, if they so desire, the modus they pro- pose"
 The German embassy was outwardly not favorably impressed with the tenor of the entente note. However, the declaration that "A mere suggestion without d statement oc terms, that ne- gotiations should he opened is not an offer of peace" was taken to contain a yelled invitation to give terms.
 The next steps by the American gov ernment will not be determined until the entente reply to President Wilson's note is received. It is expected within few days. While it is expected to follow within a general way the tone of the note received today. officials believe it will make clear whether any good~ will be accomplished by further efforts at present on the part of Pres ident Wilson.
 The entente reply was not read by the president tonight. Through off cial dispatches from abroad he knew of it's general tenor but did not tell even his closest advisers what he thought of it.
 German embassy officials pointed out that since the first peace offer was made by the central powers and it was indicated that the entente demanded

 Monday is legal holiday. Can a police court warrant be procured on New Years? Could it be served? The "question" of the governorship is de- veloping so rapidly these days that it is chiefly by the use of questions that it's new phases are transmitted to the public.
 An attempt was made yesterday to get the Hunt viewpoint by Republi- can reporter.
 Hunt Says He's Right
 Mir. Hunt do you intend to keep your office after the first of the year2"
 T most certainly intend to" was the reply. He continued in a rather choleric vein to this effect.
 Why shouldn't I keep it2 I am at present S5 votes ahead in the re- count, I am elected and I intend to stay here.'
 Are you going to send a message to the legislature?'
 T most certainly am" this last reply came very emphatically and he plainly showed that he had been reused. *wH
 Mir. Hunt then went on to explain that a committee from the republican headquarters had been to see him. to ask if he cared to take part in the inaugural ceremonies for Cover nor Campbell tomorrow. He stated that he did not care to be present as he felt that no successor had been elected to take his office.
 T am perfectly willing to leave this whole matter up to the courts" said the governor If the contest shows that MT. Campbell has been elected. will be perfectly willing to be pres ent.
 They have charged" continued the ex-governor that I have placed my

Late last night it was announced that papers i'll a suit to oust Hunt from the office of the governor of Arizona would be filed with Clerk Clay F. Leon ard of the state supreme court on Mon day. The fact that Monday is legal holiday will not prevent the filing of the papers. Ii IS said.
 That Hunt has made a fool move" is the opinion of all but his most par tisan friends. He has prejudiced his chances of remaining a holdoVer gov ernor in favor of an extremely thin, emaciated chance that he may win the contest. He made this move with less than half the ballots inspected, with nothing except an unfinished action in equity touching the possession of the office. and with as ynncl chance that the inspection of the balance of the votes will disclose Campbell leading as himself.
 Within a short time after the news was spread about the city that both Campbell and Hunt had filed oaths, the citizens divided themselves into three armies. One proceeded to emit many words in justification of the ac- tion of Hunt Another claimed that Campbell would benefit by the appar- ently senseless abrogation of the will bl lilt BtODit bN Iluiikf anu lliI lAiA4 VI spent it's time wondering what would take place on Monday.
 Accusations flew thick and fast. It was said that Hunt would barricade the capitol and permit the entrance of Campbell only after the last drop of blood had been shed. In support of this theory, it was said that the gov ernor had caused all the doors and locks to be inspected.
 Hints of fracas and riots were whis- pered about. Itwas said that Campbell would use a ladder to attain that cov- eted elevation from which the govern ors of Arizona speak their inaugural addresses. As a matter of fact. State Chairman Tommy Maddock spotted a ladder in back parlor near the state house.
 Mandamus to Be Sought

Hunt Tries Keys to His
 Office Doors and Smiles

That Governor Hunt does not in tend to give up possession Of the ship of state without a fight, and a bitter one at that, was demonstrated yesterday when he was seen fitting keys to the locks which close, the massive doors leading from the hali on the second floor of the state house to the balcony. From this balcony, Governor elect Thomas E. Campbell had planned to deliver his inaugural address tomorrow.
 Shortly before noon yesterday the governor appeared in the hallway, with a handful of keys He proceeded to the doors in question and fumbled around with the locks for some time. Finally he found a key which fitted the lock, closed the door with a snap, locked it tight and went back to his office with a satisfied smile.

PARIS. Dec. 3O.-The French for eign office tonight made public the identical notes delivered by the Swedish, Norwegian and Danish mn- isters, supporting the initiative to- ward peace taken by President Will son. The notes express sympathy Of the Scandinavian countries for all efforts toward the ending of the war and assert the hope that the presi- dent will obtain a result worthy of the spirit which inspired his note to the belligerents. The note follows:
 Tt is with the greatest interest that the government of the king learned of the propositions made by the president of the United States in order to facilitate measures tending to the establishment of a durable peace. While remaining desirous of avoiding all interference which might hurt legitimate susceptibilities, the government of the king thinks ha would be wanting in duty toward his people and toward all humanity if he did not express the most profound sympathy for all efforts which could contribute to putting an end to the progressive accumulation of suffer ipgs and moral and material losses: it cherishes, therefore the hope that the initiative of President Wilson will secure a result worthy of the lofty spirit which inspired it"

ARMOUR TO SPEND HALF
MILLION ON DENVER PLANT

DENVER, Colo.-Nearly 100000
will be spent in Denver within the
next few months in the erection of
buildings to care for the rapidly in
creasing business of Armour & Co.,
packers. OF this amount 100000 will
be expended in the construction of a
new storage plant, which will be one
of the most -up-to-date in the West.
Thirty-five thousand dollars more will
be used by the packing concern to
construct an office building.
Plans for the new structures are
now being completed in Chicago and
arrangements to begin work will be
made as quickly as the plans are COM
pleted. Harry c. Gerhard, manager
of the Colorado Packing & Provision
Company, the Denver branch of the
big. packing interests, announced the
plans of the concern. recently.
The new storage plant is made ne
cessary through the expanding of the
packing industry in this city during
the last year. The present plant at
the stockyards is inadequate to care
for the business of the concern and it
was determined few weeks ago to
increase facilities for handling the
local business.
