MAJOR GEO. H. KELLY
STATE HISTORIAN HERE

Major Geo. H. Kelly, state histor-
ian and dean cf the Arizona news
paper fraternity-well, to avoid any
discussion with Billy Spear, we'll add,
one Of The deans if there are two,
was in Flagstaff couple days this
week. He came through from the
Hannagin's meadows road celebration
with Governor Hunt. knowing the
editor Of Ihe Coconino Sun lived
mere, he stopped over for a day while
the governor went on through to
Phoenix, hoping to reach there be-
fore Judge Z. S. Clark, the republi-
can candidate for governor, could
bring injunction proceedings against
his return to the capitol
Major Kelly says the celebration of
the opening of the Coranado trail
was one Of the biggest events of the
kind that ever occurred in Arizona,
and the route one Of the most rugged
and scenic in the north.
Politically speaking Major Kelly
suggests that most Of the democrats
are for Hunt. 1t is his private opin-
ion that Governor Hunt will eventu-
ally see fit TO announce that he will
be candidate for reelection when
the proper time comes.
