sion was permitted, and the polls kept open until the last ballot was given out at 6:22 p. m., and cast at 6:25 D. m., under threat of Bill Cleary to blow up the polls, and where I. w. w. and an ex-convict were permitted to come and go with voters as they chose, and solicit votes within the polling place. Hunts majority here was 253.
 Numerous Irregularities Exposed.
 In Miami precinct No. 8 the voters compared their ballots and opinions on candidates, and no secrecy was en- forced. Hunts majority was 292. In Cottonwood, Yavapai county, an election official, one Willard, brother of the state game warden, prepared sample ballots for the voters to copy from in the booth. Hunts majority here was 19.
 In Swansea precinct, Yuma county, residents of California were allowed to vote, drunken persons were. assisted to vote by deputy sheriff, voters could see each others ballots, and twelve ballots were opened out and at tached to certificates by officers of the election board over the objection of the voters. The vote here was 50 for Hunt and nine for Campbell, but only AS ballots were received in the official package from this precinct. In Curtis precinct, Cochise county, the election board changed the polling place from where the board of super visors designed. One of the election officials instructd his daughter in the polling place to vote the straight Democratic ticket, to avoid making a mistake. The vote was 26 for Hunt and one for Campbell.
 In Eagle precinct electors voted be- fore the polls were open. one Wilt bank. a Democratic candidate for the legislature. electionered in and out of the polls all day, and procured the vot- ing of electors from other precincts without the transfer required by law, by ascertaining on the telephone that they were on the register of adjoin- ing precincts. Here the voters could see each others ballots. The Demo- cratic National Committeeman of Ari- zona, Fred T. Colter, was present and took part in the discussion of how the votes should be counted. Hunt re- ceived 113 votes and Campbell 37.
 In short, the supreme court did not decide that anything was a violation of the election law in Arizona. As the result of the work of over two thors- and eletcion judges and officials, the review of forty-two supervisors and the recount of their work by the su- perior court of Maricopa county. after five months time, Tom Campbell was declared elected governor, in Judge Stanford stating in his decision these words, found on page 1886, line 15, of the court record:
 Hunt Beneficiary of Every Doubt.
 And further, I feel as though that during the time of the counting of bal lots and passing on them, although I may be wrong in that regard, why, I have rather resolved every doubt, where or in any case where there is doubt, in favor of the contestant, Hunt"
 Wilgus precinct, which gave Tom Campbell majority and was on all fours with Camp Ten, the returns not having been received in time, was not counted, and even Judge Ross could not stand for this barefaced injustice, and dissented.
 Three supreme court judges, all of one party, reversed Stanford's deci- sion, after rumors of their decision had been allowed to leak out for two months.
 The Browning Injustice. ..
 To add to the injustice, Governor CampbelPs salary for 1917 was given to Hunt, who had acted as and re- ceived salary as United States me diator during the same time. Govern or Campbell was also fined in addi- tion S4,12225 as a judgment to Hunt for holding the position to which he was elected by the people, and to which this same supreme court said he was entitled.
 Was This Square Deal?
 8,774 election judges said Tom Campbell was elected governor by the people.
 IA boards of supervisors said Tom Campbell was elected governor by the people.
 1 election certificate said Tom Campbell was elected governor by the people.
 1 superior judge, after five months hearing of all evidence, con sisting of five volumes and 3,3S9 pages, said that Tom Campbell was elected governor by the people.
 All election returns and records then and now said Tom Campbell was election governor by the people.
 But one exception--three supreme judges, Franklin, Ross and Cunning ham, said NO!
