ent and asked Fraser to refer Ladd to Judge Sloan.
 In the afternoon, Ladd telephoned again. Fraser told him to ring up Judge Sloan for further information, informing him that Attorney General Jones had communicated with the of flee saying that all the democrats in Arizona were urging him to take ac- tion, looking to physical possession of the same, by Hunt, at once.
 It was not 15 minutes after Ladd had telephoned, that Attorney General Jones called up again and said:
 As Attorney General of Arizona, wish to notify you that Governor Hunt demands possession of his of- flee immediately"
 Fraser, all flabbergasted, managed to explain to the speaker that such haste seemed indecent, especially in view of the absence of Governor 1 Campbell from Phoenix and his in- ability to return till this morning. "It seems to me a most hoggish proceed | ing and I wish you would communi- cate this message to Hunt, person. ally" Jones lodged the responsibility of bearing this narrowing definition and Fraser wound up by declaring that he would accept nothing less than an official mandate to give pos session, pending the arrival of his | chief.
 At 5:45 o'clock the states legal head again called the governors of flee, stating that the missive had been dispatched by messenger and it reads as follows:
 Honorable Thomas E. Campbell, | Phoenix, Arizona.
 My dear Sir:
 l "As attorney general of the state of Arizona, I hereby instruct you to vacate the offices and the office of the governor of the state of Arizona now occupied by you, in obedience to the Judgment of the supreme court of the state of Arizona, this day render ed, adjudging Hon. ". r. Hunt entl- tied to said office
 made this demand upon you with all due courtesy, feeling that it is in cumbent upon me to perform this of ficial duty.
 Most respectfully your friend.
 "(Signed) WILEY F. JONES.
 Attorney General"
 It will be observed by even the casual reader that the attorney gen eral in his excitement and indecent | haste had forgotten the best known | name of the new governor, "Georgie," | whom he designates as w. P. Hunt" ] of whom Arizonians had never heard.
 It is reported that Harry W. Roun- tree made the assertion yesterday aft ernoon that he had secured his "old = job again." by this he meant to con - vey the fact that he had been ap- . pointed state examiner, a position to f which he was appointed by Governor s Hunt December 31, 1916, but was re- r placed later by Aaron H. Powers who r was appointed by Governor Campbell
 It is doubted that such an appoint d ment could have been made with such e haste and especially when Governor S Hunt has not yet been inducted into 0 office
 . Many of the old guard who were re- n placed by Governor Campbelrs ap- T pointees have been daily in evidence | around the state capitol for the past = four weeks and will likely be again T appointed because the long time spent , at the political pie counter ruins many : otherwise good and capable citizens
 for any other walk in life. 1T THE JUDGMENT . That the said George w. p. Hunt i' was, at the general election held in
