Ruling Means Big
 Loss to Campbell
BILLIARD SETS UP CL AIM THAT DE- CISION IS INCONSISTENT WITH ONE MADE BE- FORE AND ASKS THAT JUDGE STANFORD RE- CONSIDER MATTER.

PHOENIX. Jan. 9.-Straight par
 ty tickets, with a check after the can
 didate of some other party, will not
 be counted, according to the ruling
 made by Judge Stanford today, who
 is hearing the gubernatorial contest
 in the Superior court. This ruling is considered important, insofar as it might change the total vote of Gov ernor Campbell. In Maricopa county especially, many of the Democrats
 placed cross in the straight Demo- cratic square, desiring to vote for every candidate with the exception of Governor Hunt To avoid this. they voted for Campbell or some other candidate for governor. In most of the precincts these ballots were counted.
 Judge Stanford previously made a ruling that in the precincts where the Prohibition candidate did not appear on the ticket, and the voter, after marking straight Prohibition, then crossed over and voted for either Hunt or Campbell, this vote should count for the candidate which bore the cross after it. Attorney Bullard claimed that the court had made an inconsistent ruling, claiming that Dunlap was a legal candidate for gov crnor and therefore, when the voter placed cross in the straight Prohi bitionist square, he automatically voted for Dunlap.
 "It is not within the power of the court to disfranchise a candidate" Attorney Bullard emphatically re- marked. If the court please, I will ask you to reconsider your ruling on the ballots where Dunlap's name did not appear or else make the ruling on straight Democratic tickets where the voter undoubtedly intended to vote for Campbell consistent with your former ruling" Judge Stanford agreed to take the matter under advisement.
 Laveen district was counted and un- der the courts ruling Campbell lost one vote over the unofficial returns when ballot marked straight Demo- cratic and a cross after Campbclls name was thrown out The precinct was completed, showing 5 for Camp bell and 3 for Hunt. Creighton was next to be opened and was partially counted before noon. In this precinct a ballot was found where the voter marked crosses after every Demo- cratic candidates name with the ex- ception of Hunt and then wrote Thomas E. Campbell's name directly under that of Hunt The court count ed the ballot for Campbell on the orOundS that the intent of the yoter was clearly interpreted to mean that he desired to vote for the Republican candidate
 Another ballot was thrown out when the voter marked a straight Prohibition ticket that contained the name of Dunlap and in addition plac ed cross after Campbell's name. The court ruled that this ballot was invalid because two governors were voted for.
 Judge Stanford has made rulings to date covering "A classes of ballots.

 There was large crowd on hand | at o'clock this morning when Gov

 private secretary and few close per sonal and political friends, entered the executive offices. It was at the same door that was barred and guarded by a deputy sheriff on New Years day that L. A.

He announced that the personal belongings, documents and other effects of Nr Hunt had been removed from the office and that everything was in order for the new regime Governor Campbell courte- ously thanked Mir.

Hunt, himself, entered that holy of holies.
 The beginning of official business in his new quarters was delayed some time, while the governor received calls and congratulations from scores of friends and well wishcrs. Shortly be- fore noon, Governor Campbell called State Auditor Jesse Boyce into his office and entered into conference over the financial affairs of the realm. Between two and three hundred war rants were inspected and signed. and today, the solons and their hired hands received the first pay checks they have had.
 Following his confereass with the auditor, the governor called Harry Shea, the chauffeur of the large white automobile, with which Governor Hunt relieved the strain of his walk to the State house on the occasion of his first inauguration. five years ago i Shea came in and reported.

 GOV. CAMPBELL IN MESSAGE

Nature. Her climate is incompar- able, affording a haven for the af- flicted of the world, second to that of no geographical subdivision known.
 In her expansive domain, lavishly disposed, are to be found all the gifts that make glad the heart of Man; ; vast treasure vaults of the most val uable and useful metals; boundless reaches of range, providing adequate sustenance to cattle, sheep and goats in hundreds of thousands for the food of the Nation; valleys nestling in charming spots. bursting with full ness and providing meccas for the weary and spent; mountains and can yons, abounding in scenic grandeur and attraction unparalleled anywhere and vast unused stores of fuel and timber for the comfort and protec- tion of her increasing thousands.
 In what other part of the world can people find more for which to offer praise and thanksgiving to an All-wise Creator?
 These rich and unusual gifts shall be under our dual care. Our aim and purpose must be to render to the people of Arizona, to the best of our abilities. such a stewardship as shall bring to these resources their widest and most beneficial use.
 We must SO direct our efforts and energies that those within our bound aries shall say: Well done, thou good and faithful servants" and that the world outside shall feel. by our works, that the State of Arizona of- ferS profit and security to labor and capital alike.

town and city within her confines is flourishing in wealth and content ment. Physical and financial woes, which have visited other States and countries, have been absent
 Strife amongst other peoples has caused an increase in the price of every product of Arizona. In 1916, actual estimates Of companies engag- cd in copper mining in this State, in- dicates total of 7l0,995,S53 pounds of copper produced; which, trans lated to money at the average ruling price during that term equal value, roundly, of $20O,OOO,OO0.
 Gold, silver, lead and zinc figures are not at present obtainable, but that their production was much larger in 1915 and l9l6 than during the pre- yious two years, is generally conced- ed; and, owing to very nigh prices ruling for the three last mentioned, much more profitable.
 During l9l5-l9l6, beef, mutton and wool brought hitherto unknown prices and seasonable rains provided ample feed on the ranges.
 The farming of Egyptian cotton in Arizona has become a recognized commercial success, crops from over 65OO acres having been picked in 1916 in the Salt River and Yuma valleys and marketed at such profit that it is proposed to extend the acreage in 1917 to at least 26,OO0 acres. The product is of finest quality.

 PHOENIX, Jan. 29-Recommend- ing the budget system to provide for State expenditures, revision of the election laws (which is already under way in the legislature), stating his stand on the school system and bring ing out a number of matters urged in his campaign, Governor Campbell to- day addressed joint meeting of the house and senate.
 In beginning his message, the gov ernor stated that it was his purpose to report to the legislative branch on conditions in the State and to bring to its attention certain matters he considered needing attention by the lawmakers. He deplored the failure of the present system of handling the State institutions, whereby 1t had proven impossible to collect accurate data on their condition, and promised that he would soon produce reports that would reveal the true nature of the States affairs.
 Governor Campbell's message, in full follows:
 Members of the Senate and House of
 Representatives of the Third Legis-
 lature of the State of Arizona:
 In compliance with the consti- tuition and statutes of the State of 1 have the honor, as Cover nor, to submit to you my report up- on the condition of the State and re- spectfully to recommend such neces- sary legislation, most important for the progress, happiness and pros- perity of the people you and I re- present, as seems most fitting.

PHOENIX, Jan. 29. - Nearly one month after his inauguration Thomas F. Campbell sat in the chair of the chief executive of the State of Ari- zona today, when the formal transfer of the office was made by the retiring administration this morning. Ac- claimed de facto governor of Arizona by the Supreme court on Saturday, Campbell today exercised for the first time, all the functions of the chief ex ecutive, sandwiching his duties in be- tween ovations from the populace and the officials, who, though chiefly Democratic. greeted him cordially.
 At ? o'clock this afternoon, Gov ernor Campbell went before the house and senate, assembled in joint ses- sion in the house chamber, and read than ccremonious. It drew to the State house the largest crowd that has ever assembled within the portals, while outside the house chamber, in the lower halls and even on the lawn in front, there gathered groups of citizens who had failed to gain ad- mission.
 The reading of the message was delayed fully half an hour while the crowd stirred around in the gallery. getting itself settled for a spectacle that has been awaited with the keen est expectancy since Tom Campbell was first proclaimed to have been elected governor, shortly after the complete returns were filed in No vcmber Round after round of ap- plause greeted Governor Campbell as he stepped from the executive cham bers and entered the hall
 President Dave Claridge and Speak CT Tony Johns were in their chairs, and each greetedAthe prw executive as he stepped to the dais.

There is an intimation that Arizona s best known and most infamous auto mobile will be relegated to the used car department of some reliable motor car agency.

 The stream of telegrams and long distance calls, congratulating the gov ernor on the decision of the Supreme court, continued today and was aug mented by the first congratulatory letters. Messages have arrived from all over this State and from many other States, confirming the belief that Arizona's governorship tangle ndS been TlatlcT or extreme interest without the borders of the common wealth.
 One effect of the decision of the Supreme court and the formal occu- patton of the enemy's home territory by the Republican administration will be to confirm in the duties, of their offices, the two important Campbell appointees, Rudolph Kuch- Ter, who was named to succeed the present executive as member of the tax commission and Doane Merrill, who succeeded Charles R.
