GAMPBELL.HUNI CASE
 NOW IN HANDS 0F
 THE SUPREME COURT

The Campbell-Hunt case IS now in the hands of the supreme court, the argument in the case being concluded on Saturday evening. In reviewing the case the Phoenix Republican of Sun day has the following to say:
 After one of the longest and hardest fought contest cases in legal history, one that has dragged its weary length through two cour,s and $500 pages of transcript, the case in which George w. P. Hunt, former governor Of Ari- zona, disputes the election last Novem- OCT of Thomas R. Campbell as his successor in that office is now in the rands of the supreme court calendar although on the preceding day there rad been every evidence that it would go oyer ipto the nexl week. F. C.. Struckmeyer for the contestee. Hunt, made the closing argument in this most interesting case.
 Each side has been given five days in which to file authorities as to the right of the court to strike out an en ire precinct in the recount of this election.
 Just how long time the supreme court will take in reviewing the tran script and the arguments could not be learned from any remarks made by the court, but it is the general opniOl of both sides that an early decision is certain. No case in the history of the state has been O. more interest than this one nor a case of more vital bear ing upon the conduct of the several departments of the state. For this reason it is practically certain that the people may lcok for a decision by the supreme court within 30 days.
 Spoke Twelve Hours
 Judge Richard E. Sloan, leading counsel for Governor Campbell, ad- dressed the supreme court for l. hours in his argument, consuming all of the first two days and part oi the third. He showed wonderful grasp of the entire case. his address being strong, calm and full of cold blooded facts. Judge John H. Camp bell of Tucson, associate counsel for the contestee. spoke for only about 50 minutes.
 For the cont estant, Hunt, r. C.. Struckmeyer made the opening argu ment and also the closing, taking up nearly all of the last day with his argument. NIT. Struckmeyer showed an immense amount of preparation ana covered the complex case with thor oughness that was a matter of com ment. L. B. Whitney and Thomas W. Nealon. counsel for the contestant, spoke about one hour each.
 In speaking of Judge Stanford, who made the decision in the superior court. Judge Sloan said in closing that however much one might disagree with certain rulings he made in the conduct of that case in the lower court. that no one who went through it's complex length with him could doubt his sincere honesty and en- deavor 10 render a just and true de cision.
 From the start t0 the end of the case in the supreme court it was hard fought, about the only thing tho the counsel agreeing upon being that the ballots in Douglas precinct No. had been mu: Hated.
 Mormons fer Hunt
 Judge Sloan yesterday admitted IT. regularities in the precinct of Snow flake. but explained that he had sub mitted. in a limited time given him, seven precincts in which greater lr-I regularities than these in Snow hake | had occurred He complained that theI lower court had allowed them to take up the question of Irregularities Tn Snowflake after they had closed tnelr case and the contestee was nearly finished with his answer without any pleadings to warrant such action.
 He showed a similarity Of alleged Irregularities in regard to the voiine for judge in Snowflake and Eager, and in addition pointed out that the iireS- ularties in Snowflake were committed by a mere precinct committeeman,l while a national committeeman had participated in those al Eager where voters were allowed to vote on the
