CAMP BELL WILL
 RETAIN HUNTS
 MENSHORT TIME

T am not going to make any ap- pointments during the contest" stated Governor Campbell last night.
 T shall expect loyalty and courtesy from all Hunt appointees, and shall work with them to the end that the government of the state shall go on smoothly and without a hitch Unless there is a disposition to work against me in my de facto position, and the teeth of the incumbents are shown in e belligerent manner, l shall allow all the present appointees to hold their of fices until the matter of the contest is settled.
 There is no reason why there should be partisan loyalty on the part of anyone at the state house, and 1 shall exact and expect to receive the best that is in every one holding an appointive office"
 The above statement, will probably be good news to the hordes of Hunt appointees at the state house and in other towns of the state. Practically every office holder whose tenure of service depends on the governor, has been worrying lately, as to when his term would be up. The fact that Gov elnor Campbell will not relieve them during the contest, at least gives them a new lease on life.
 He'll Be here hIS Morning
 Governor Campbell accompanied by his secretary, will leave the executive headquarters. which have been at the Campbell residence for the past month, at few minutes before nine o'clock this morning, and will procede at once to the state house, a block away, en- ter it, go upstairs and take over the paraphernalia, books, etc. belonging to the office of governor. There will probably be no ceremony connected with the affair. and unless friends of the governor take advantage of the first opportunity to pay homage to the new executive, there will be no crowd.
 The Western Union Telegraph Com pany was forced to put on an extra shift of operators and clerks, to handle the sudden influx of business follow ing the ascension of Governor Camp bell to his gubernatorial chair in the state house. The republican state central committee, sent a wire to every town in the state, announcing to com mitteemen, who were anXiously await ing the result. that at last the hopes and wishes of all Arizona had been fulfilled On top of that there came a positive flood of telegrams of con gratulations to the governor At least 150 were delivered to him Saturday night before closing All day Sunday the flow kept up. Wires poured in from every city, town and hamlet in the state. Not only was the state well represented, but the nation. San Fran cisco. New York, Boston, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and prac- ticslly every large city in the country extended felicitations to Yavapais favOrite son.
 Merrill and Kuchler Too
 Doane Merrill, appointed citizen member of the board of control. and Rudolph Kuchler. appointed as tax commissioner. will be present at the state house today and take over the duties of their respective offices. Both men have been sworn in, and have filed their bonds with the secre- tary of state. Mir Kuchler called upon the tax commissioners and was in formed, that as soon as there was decision from the supreme court. he would be welcome. Mir Merrill was given the same information in the of flee of the secretary of board of con- trol.
