been called upon 20 bear, something OF
the difficulties Of government always
great. but sadly complicated by years
OF acknowledgement and malsdministra-
ton. With the facts before them. the
people have spoken and have directed
that those who have begun the task
shall continue the work thus far faith
fully performed.
1T is not my intention at this time
TO review in any detail the work Of the
/ administration or to discuss at length
recommendation which the executive
may properly make 10 the legislative
/ branch Of the government from time

her and killed her.
Magistrate Imber was under the I'M

HINT Democratic incumbent in the
Executive Office, and Thomas Z. Camp
bell. now Republican incumbent in the

Campbell had an al fresco inauguration
in the Capitol grounds. Two things
helped TO avert trouble-s liberal scat
tering of armed deputies among the
crowd and the complete absence o.
liquor in the city under the new prohi-
bition law. Oldtimers diagnosed the
general dryness as the real reason.
There was plenty Of raw material for
battle. Hunt comes from Globe, the
centre OF the copper industry, and we'll
heeled miners have been threatening
for weeks that it would be a dangerous
proceeding to remove him from the
Governors chair. Campbell halls from
the Yavapai cattle country, whence
grim-lipped cowboys have been steadily
drifting into Phoenix with the quietly
expressed opinion that the Democratic
State Central Committee, which con
coded Campbells election, was certainly
not going to be overruled. But the
water-wagon proved a paciher. Last
Friday. under city orders, IL sprinkled
800 gallons OF hard liquor into the
streets. That was all there was IN the
place.
Find Doors Locked
But the inauguration was not without
incident and rumors Of war Governor
Hunt had wisely left the Capitol Build
ing before Governor Campbell arrived
only he left IL locked. Therefore,
when the Republican parade-eandi-

friends reached the State House they
could not get in. Loud knocking aroused
a care-taker, who opened the outer
doors. The triumphant Republicans
trooped in. only TO find the inners doors
to the Executive Offices locked also.
