COURT MAKES HUNT EXECUTIVE

Phoenix. ,Ariz.-The Supreme Court
handed down an opinion in the Hunt
Campbell gubernatorial contest. The
decisive feature of the opinion revers-
ing the judgment OF Judge Stanford OF
the Superior Court was in the matter
of Douglas precinct No. / in which the
trial court had counted for Campbell
forty-two ballots which bore marks OF
erasures in the square over the Re-
publican column and had been marked
In the Democratic square. The Su-
preme Court restored these ballots to
Hunt and took them from Campbell.
leaving the figures in that precinct
as they had been returned by the cleo
tion board. The court held that there
was not sufficient proof of fraud to
warrant either such a transfer of the
ballots or the rejection of the precinct
in which the returns showed that
Hunt had been given majority of
115. This finding alone gave Hunt
the goyernorship.
Under the rules the contestee,
Campbell. has fifteen days to file a
motion for a rehearing, but has of
fered to turn over the office at any
time.
