 With the close of the session
 Saturday night he terms of two
 members of the board expired, those of Geo. W. Henning and 0. R. Gardner. R. c. CreswelI, who was elected two years ago for a four-year term, has two years yet to serve. We believe that never in the history of this county, nor in that of any other county in the state, for that mat ter, did any board of supervisors rank higher than the board that has governed Navajo county during the past two years. The three men who formed the board are representative citizens; they are men of good character, strict integrity and sound business Judgment. The business of the county has been transacted by these men as each would transact his own business. Often the of the board have neglected their own business in order that they night better at tend to county business.
 In retiring for the time being to private life, Messers Hennes- sey and Gardner go forth with clean records, and they can rest assured that when called again to public office they can point with pride to the commendation of the people which now is theirs Mir. Creswell will continue as a member of the board for two years more. and he will without doubt maintain the high stand ard of efficiency which has characterized his official acts throughout the first half of his term.

SuberfIuous Adpice

The editor of the Winslow Mail last week rendered the following gem of gratuitous advice to the new board of supervisors:
 "One of the first duties of the new board of supervisors should be to call for the full printed proceedings of the board of supervisors of last year and have them attached to the demands for payment. And then it should be carefully measured up at the rate of 25c a double column inch, just for the purpose of having the record show that the county business has been done in a busi- ness way"
 For the benefit of MT. Chap man, and any other persons in terested, we will say that the procedure suggested by the self appointed public censor has been followed faithfully by the old board of supervisors. For the past two years when demands were filed against the county for publications in The Holbrook News, these demands were ac- companied by clippings from the paper showing the publications. And the space was carefully measured up" by the board and paid for at the contract price.
 All this was done without sug- gestions from the editor of the Winslow Mail, or from any one else; it was done because the of the board, being good business men, transacted the county's business in the proper manner.
 Every demand filed by the owner of the Holbrook News against Navajo county is on file with the clerk of the board of They are open to examination by the new board. of supervisors, by MT. Chapman, or by anyone else.
 The records kept by the super yisors in the county printing business are complete, and are easily available for the use of MT. Chapman if he decides to file complaint of graft in the con- tract. But as we have stated before, Chapman will file no complaint. Even though he stands branded a liar before the bar of public opinion, he does not care to have the verdict con- firmed by a court of record.

CAMPBELL NAUCERATED
Man Who ReceiDed Plurality of Votes at November Election Assumes Duties of Office. Ex- GoDernor Hunt Hangs on to ExecutiUe Office in Capitol Building.

ExecutiUe Office in Capitol
 Building.
 Thomas E. Campbell, elected
 governor of Arizona at the gen.
 eral election in November, was
 inaugerated at the capitol build ing in Phoenix last Monday. His address to the people on that oc- casion was a masterlY one and it emphasizes the fact that the voters made a happy choice when they cast their ballots for the re- publican candidate for governor.
 Following his inaugeral address Governor Campbell attempted to enter the executive offices Tn the capitol building but found the doors to these offices locked and guarded by deputy sheriffs. The doors had been locked and deputy sheriffs placed on guard by Ex- Governor Hunt, who was de- feated for reelection in Novem- Der, but who refuses to abide by the decision of the voters.
 There were a sufficient num- Der of Governor CampbeJl's friends with him, when he at- tempted to enter the executive offices. to have overpowered the armed guards who barred his entrance and taken forcible pos session of the offices. However, the governor restrained his friends and announced to them that he would conduct the duties of his office outside the building until the courts had peacably busted the ex-governor.
 Thursday mandamus proceed ings were brought in the supreme court by attorneys for Governor Campbell. The object of these proceedings is to oust Hunt from the executive offices and place Governor Campbell in peaceable possession of them. Briefs have been submitted by attorneys for both sides and the supreme court | will probably render a decision Saturday morning.
 The action of Ex-Governor Hunt in holding possession of | the executive offices by force of | arms can only meet the emphatic condemnation of all fair-minded | people. Even members of his own party who worked for his | reelection have denounced his acts of usurpation, and so far as they are concerned Hunt can expect no further support.
 Hunts course was not only a | high-handed piece of lawlessness, but it was a useless and senseless one. Even though he has con- test pending over the election for governor, he could have lost | no ground in this contest by sur rendering the office to the man who held the certificate of cleo tion. In due time the courts will l decide whether or not Campbell | is entitled to continue as gov ernor. Until such decision is rendered Campbell is in fact | governor and Hunt occupies the position of a bullying usurper.
 The inspection of ballots in the superior court of Maricopa county is proceeding slowly. When this work is completed, the contest case over the governorship will go to trial. A recount of all the ballots cast may be ordered by the court, or that tribunal may elect to try the case upon the ballots about which there is dis pute. In either event several weeks will elapse before the con- frOVersv will he closed

Closing Session of County Board
 The last session of the board of county supervisors for 1916 closed last Saturday night and the board adjourned sine die. During the last sessions of the board considerable business was transacted, meetings being held both Friday and Saturday nights. The various county officers were checked and some contracts for the year 1917 were let.
 The contract for county pub- fishing was let to G. M. Braxton, publisher of the Holbrook News, and that paper designated the official paper of the county for the year 1917. The prices agreed upon for the work were: For publishing supervisors proceed
