HUNT GIVEN MAJORITY IN
 l3 C0UNT TIES
 WINS: 1 BY. 70OO


 PHOENIX, Nov. 9.-George, w. P, Hunt, Democratic candidate for gov ernor, has carried Arizona by a ma | jority approximating 1000 votes. re-
 turns from the IA counties, most of them complete except for scattered | outlying precincts, indicated at an early hour this morning. Majorities of other Democratic candidates con tinued to mount as additional re- turns came in.
 The gubernatorial vote as taOu- lated by The Arizona Republican at o'clock this morning was: Hunt, 35,209; Campbell, 2S,949. Other Democratic candidates were elected
 by majorities ranging from 1000 to more than 10000, the biggest plura- lity of the election being boiled by Carl Hayden, congressman. Road Amendment Carries? Amendment No. 100, proposing the issue of state bonds for the construc- tion of, approximately 100 miles of paved road as connecting link in the Phoenix-Los Angeles highway was in doubt this morning. At this hour the amendment had a majority of about $500, majority that is en- dangered. observers believe, by out lying precincts from which no returns have yet been received.
 Maricopa county gave this amend 1 ment majority of more than 10.500 and this total was augmented by ma jorities in lGila, Pinal and Apache counties. To offset these majorities for, were majorities ranging from 1 two to one to eight to one. The true significance of the Demo cratic landslide of Tuesday can be summarized in the announcement that Governor Thomas E. Campbell, Republican carried but one of the i4 counties in the state. And Campbell led the ticket. Some of his running mates failed to land on the long end of the count in single county. Staid old Pima, one of three con sidered Republican strongholds in l the state, was the only county to run
 true to form-or eXpectations-and even Pima faltered. It faltered to the extent of returning majorities for more than half of the state Demo cratic candidates. Tn fact. only three Republican candidates Campbell. Toles and Hall-were given majori- , ties there The remainder of the ticket was bested by the Democratic aspirants.
  Republicans on the face of incom- plete returns early Wednesday morn ing, flopped into the Democratic column with thud this morning as belated returns were received. Even Campbells home town of Prescott went against him, final figures dis closed.
 Graham, another Campbell strong | hold, also got caught in the Demo | cratic landslide and rode down the hill. It seemed that everywhere,
 ballots were following the line of l least resistance.
 The collapse of the Republican | ticket in Maricopa was known before midnight Tuesday night, but how complete a collapse it was did not develop until semi-official returns | from S3 of the SS precincts were available.
 Maricopa Does Peculiar Twist
 Maricopa had been conceded to the Republicans. The Democrats, even | while the balloting was going on. | expressed the opinion that Campbell would win here by from 800 to 1000 Some even went so far as to say that a Campbell majority of 2,O00 in Ma ricopa would not be surprising. But the figures! They were all
 
 Hunt. The county, which in past years had been so overwhelmingly anti-Hunt, turned a few peculiar twits and a high-dive, and when It came up for air the official tabula- , tors recorded pro-Hunt vote or approximately 1900 to the good. How Others Were Running
 What was true in the case of Hunt was true in the case of practically every democratic candidate - even more so in many instances. AS matter of fact, the race between Hunt and Campbell was one of the closest on the entire ticket-t close it could be called. In some instances, Democrats won by majorities of two and three to one.
 The closest race in the state was that waged by Miss Elsie Toies' ln cumbent, Republican, for superinten- dent of public instruction. Her Democratic opponent, c. O. Case, won. but his majority was less than 2,6OO. Figures on this contest, though were far from complete.
