People

PHOENIX, Ariz.. Dec. 22.-The Ari-
zona Supreme Court to-day seated
George w. p. Hunt, Democrat. as Gov
ernor Of Arizona. At the same time II
decided that Thomas +. Campbell Fas
held the office since January p last
without being elected. Mr. Campbelfs
tenure was not illegal, however, as he
had been made de facto Governor by
a ruling Of the same court.
The decision of the court was unani-
nous. Fifteen days were allowed for
an appeal. but Mr.. Campbell announced
he would not take any further action.
"My next appeal will be to the people
OF the state he said in a statement
following the publication of the de-
cision.
Thus ended one Of the most curious
election cases in the history OF the
nation. Mr.. Hunt was elected the first
Governor of the state in 1911 and re-
elected in 1913. In 1915, on the face
Of the returns. Mr.. Campbell was given
the certificate of election by the mar
gin Of 81 votes.
Governor Hunt instituted legal de-
mand for recount and declined to sur
render the Office on January !. He
barred the doors and windows ard held
the Capitol with his adherents from
the copper mining district Mr.. Camp
bell came to the Capitol and made a
formal demand for admittarce, which
was refused. He was accompanied by
a crowd of formidable looking friends
from the cowboy districts.
There was much talk of battle" "
but the city fathers took the precaution
of having the fremen pour all the "fire
water" in Phoenix into the cutters.
There was no gun play. Instead, there
were two inaugurations Stunts in the
Capitol and Campbells in the open air
near by.
On January q the Supreme Court
issued en- order declaring Campbell the
de facto Governor. Hunt tnen vacated,
and Campbell has held the Office since
then.
On q recount Of the vote Judge San
ford. of the Superior Court of Mari
copa County, declared Campbell elected.
The decision of the lower court was re-
garded as ambiguous, and an appeal
was taken to the court above, which
to-day unanimously decided that the
recount showed that Hunt had been
elected by i3 votes.

never heard Of an explosion similar TO

He was positive that the fire had
been set by a time bomb. That it re-
suited in the death of four men he be-

ever was responsible for placing the
bomb, wherever IT was, thought that, as
was customary, the factory would work
only half a day on Saturday.
II was announced late tonight that
although the plant itself had been seri-

Embargo Menaces
Printing Industry
Carbon Black, Needed for
Ink, Barred by Federal
Priority Board

Decentralization OF the printing INK
industry Of the United States is threat
encd by the embargo on the shipment
OF carbon black. a principal ingredient,
ordered some time ago by the Federal
Priority Board. Publishers Of news
papers. magazines and all other users
of printing ink soon will be vltaliy al
fected. Philip RuXton, president OF the
National Association OF Printing Ink
Manufacturers, declared in a statement
issued here yesterday.
President Wilson has been asked 70
modify the priority boards order
which by failing to include carbon
black among the materials that may be
accepted for shipment by railroads
makes k impossible for ink dealers TO
obtain supplies of that product, Mr..
RuXton said.
III we do not get immediate relief
there will be no ink for daily papers
or publications of any kind, nor for
any commercial purpose whatever,
reads a telegram to President Wilson
from Mr.. Ruxton. "a grave crisis
faces all industries because Of our IN
ability 10 get raw material for PRINT
ing ink" il continued. Neither Rob
ert s. Lovett nor the Car Commission
makes replies to our appeals. We must
have carbon black from Virginia at our
sixty plants, making every pound of
printing ink used in America. Can we
get any assurance that Washington Off
cials will help US out Of this danger
Gus situation"
"While we realize" Mr.. Ruxton said
in his statement, that almost every
industry is insisting that the supplies
il needs are vital to the nations war
programme, seemingly all departments
of the government fail TO realize that
unless their printer can supply them
with ecessary printed forms and un-
less publicity Of all kinds can continue
in the daily press the whole fabric of
