FLAGSTAFF DEMOCRATS HEARD GEO. W. P. AT
 COURT HOUSE MONDAY
Continued from Page One.)

Following is an epitome of the sal tent features of Mir. Hunts address
 He did not come to discuss national or state affairs. This is democratic primary fight. It is fight that con- cerns chiefly the democrats. The re- publicans will not see how the demo- crats fight.
 The call for special session of the state legislature to relieve the financial needs of the University of Arizona was not really the primary cause of the special meeting. The legislature was a so-called demo- cratic CD legislature. Hunt consid- cred it his duty to defend the organic law of the state. In Arizona there was no demand to change our or ganic law. The makers of the con- stitution made it easy to amend. When we want our laws amended, we want them amended by the friends of the laws.
 Fifteen of the representatives of the mining industries of the state came into Hunts office, and urged him to sign the law as it was. They asked him to sign a law as they want ed it. He said he did not believe in having one class run the state. He said he would hit it on the head. The governor of the state should always be man who can be relied upon. Rich and poor, high and low, should all be treated the same. Hunt used to read the papers controlled by the copper interests, in order to aid his digestion and to give him the fight. ing spirit.
 P. G. Salisbury, head of the Ari- zona Industrial Congress, is the man receiving the brunt of Hunts attack. Spillsbury is not even citizen of the state nor tax payer here. He is taxless, voteless emissary from Wall street. He tries to pass the laws of the state. He has the gall to come here and tell you how to amend the organic law, and to tell when it should be changed.
 When the constitution was present. ed to you, you passed it by an over whelming vote. They are trying to take away the primary law, and that will bring you back to the convention system. It is much easier to buy up a convention than to buy the state. It will be easier to control things than it is now. This is not local issue. It is an issue that is being tried in every state in the union. The people of Wall street are trying to control America, and make it an autocracy. They want to control conventions, and to elect officers all the way from constables to the highest offices in land. We must defend the primary law.
 "When I talk about these things" he said, q get all het up."
 Any man who believes in his state will resent the infringement of our rights.
 In May a convention was held. I believe in the democrats getting to- gether. It is always pleasant to get poison gas ready to throw into the ranks of the republicans. A few days before the conference was called in Tucson, Hunt received a communica- tion from J. s. Douglas. The com munication said that owing to the depression in the state it was neces- sary for the democrats to get togeth- CT to discuss the selection of a plat form.
 Hunt refused to discuss the selec- tion of governor.
 That convention has often been call ed MT. Douglas convention.
 "No doubt he will be a very fine leader, when it comes to certain things. But I still think that one man should not run the whole party. It has sometimes been affirmed that I tried to run the party, because I did not swallow everything. We should listen to the voice of the people and not to the god of Mammon that reigns in Wall street."
 Hunt was urged by so many people that he could not resist the appeals to run for governor. There are 1000 names on the petition for him to run for governor of the state. He could not remain silent home and see things. he had fought for torn down by an emissary from Wall street. He believes in the people of the state and that they can run their own government. When you put the government of the state in the hands of few then you will live in an autocracy. Hunt has had enough of autocracy.
 When Hunt came to Arizona terri tory, AZ years ago, there were less than 10000 people here. Arizona has grown into a mighty state. The world comes to enjoy the beauties of Arizona. The time will come when we shall have another Athens in this country. When people come to see our wonders they will also see a great citizenship.
 Many people who look at 1912 and 1918 wish for the "old white car" again, even if they did make fun of 1t.
 The republicans are probably sit ting on the fence and enjoying the fracas. The republican papers have been impartial. He will hate to lam past them after they have done such good turns for him.
 When in Siam he looked at the white elephants, and the prince ask ed him if he ever saw a white ele- phant in the U. s. He said mo-" but that he had tried to kill the "black elephant" all his life. Always tried to be a man of peace, but has had more fights than any other man in the world. Gave interesting account
