Reseated in the Executive Chair
OF Arizona by Unanimous
Decision OF the Supreme
Court

Yesterday morning, at 9:4I
o'clock, the Supreme Court, b,
unanimous decision, awarded
the contested election for COVER
nor of Arizona to George w. P
Hunt, the former incumbent
unseating Tom Campbell, wht
had held the place since
February last as the result @!
the most fragrant politica
treachery and skullduggery
ever known in the history OF
Arizona politics.
At 9:45 the decision was
rendered; at 10 o'clock the glad
tldings were flashed by tele-
hone from Phoenix by Pete
Munich to Judge Frank J. Duffy
and "The Oasis" Immediately
the two messages were incor-
Iporated in an extra which was
scattered about town, everybody
desiring receiving one.
The news was received with
no small satisfaction by all
good democrats, and many who
are not so good, having fallen
from grace so far as to have
voted for Tom Campbell in the
election last year. Several of
that kind expressed to "The
Oasis" their qualification at the
result; and all of them admitted
they would do otherwise had it
to be done again.
There will be little delay in
Governor Hunt resuming office.
Contrary to an assertion pub
lished that Campbell had fifteen
days in which to appeal. the
TACT is that there is no appeal.
Nowhere in the machinery of
the government of the United
States rests any right for the
general government in and OF
it's branches to have anything
to say in a state election. Those
are state affairs simply and
solely.
Bombastically Tom : Campbell,
is quoted, as having declared
the next appeal twill be taken
to the people" All right, Tom.
That is the place to go; but you
will get little consolation there.
Those misled democrats whose
votes made possible the close
ness of the election and the
seating of a republican candi-
date, have cut their wisdom
teeth. While willing 'to try
anything once" they not do it
twice.

address was preceded by vocal rem

der Of the Department.

Postmaster James German is the only
man in the post Office service in Keno
sha who is positively exempted from
military service. Final orders came
from Washington today to the local
office and these indicate clearly that
any other man in the employ of the
post office who may be of military age
may be subject to military duty. No
exemption is granted to rural carriers,
city carriers or clerks earning a salary
of less than $1,000 a year and exemp-
tions may be granted to those getting
higher salary only when it is declared
by exemption boards that the calling
of these men into military service
would leave vacancies that it would be
impossible to fill without material in
jury to the service. Members Of the
local force declare that they can not
claim exemption under this order.

deepened the convictions of those who
heard and saw The service was in
every way an admirable sequel to the
meeting of two weeks before in which
Mrs. Edna Coughlin first presented the
