SAYS CRAWFORD WILL
Be THE NEXT SPEAKER

A. NJ. Crawford of Clarkdale,
member Of the seventh and member
elect for the eighth legislature, will
probably be the speaker Of the house
for the next session.
This prospect loomed yesterday
when certain members of the next
legislature had been consulted by
friends of Crawford relative to his
desire to succeed Charlie Mcmillan,
formerly of Ray, as speaker. Craw-
ford was a member of the Yavapai
four who were an important element
in the famous 26 who organized the
seventh house in strong opposition
to the state administration.
The eighth session will present less
fractions aspects than the seventh, it
was learned from gossip in democrat
ic circles. While the anti-adminis-
tration element is even larger than
it was in the preceding session,
there is an abatement of hostility
First, the governor is said to have
announced his intention of recogniz-
ing for the first time the constitu-
tional segregation of the executive
and legislative branches of govern
ment by taking his hands of legIS'
lative affairs. Then, too, fewer is
sues on which the governor and the
lawmakers might quarrel seem to be
on the tapis for the coming session.
The Colorado river question is so
messed up with politics that neither
the executive nor any Of the legis-
lators -to-be know just where they
stand. Both departments are apt to
join in what efforts they make in
this states desperate need to pre-
vent California from showing the
Boulder Canyon bill through con-
gress, now that the election has CIV
en- the Californians reason to be-
lieve that Arizona can't even equip
itself with governor to its liking,
let alone help itself in the congress-
ional fight.-Journal-Miner.

REPUBLICANS TO CONTEST
GOV. HUNTS ELECTION

Phoenix. Ariz., Nov. 17.-The re-
publican state central committee IN
session here today decided to contest
the election of Governor Hunt, demo-
crat, over E. S. Clark, republican, on
last November 2 and to institute steps
at once for a recount.
There was a large representation
at the meeting of the committee,
nearly every county in the state hav-
ing committeeman present, and the
decision to enter contest was unan-
nous. The committee pledged $7,500
as a fund TO begin the recount, and
made guarantees for whatever more
may be needed before the legal bat
tie for the governorship is fought to
a finish.
The committeeman assembled at IL
o'clock and adjourned at one, the mat
ter of the gubernatorial contest being
the only question before them. 1t IS
estimated the contest will cost not
less than $4,000, and the party lead
ers are positive no difficulty will be
encountered in procuring that amount.
1t is expected the first legal move
in the recount will be taken within the
next two or three days.
Neither Governor Hunt nor Clark
would make a statement this after
noon in regard to the action of the
republican state committee.

1--WE MUST GROW" SAYS
COMMANDER DE CAMP

Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. 18.-(A. L.
N. S.)-"We must grow" That is
the declaration made by Department
Commander Val DeCamp on a re-
cent trip to this city during which
he conferred with State Adjutant D.
D. Douglas and Leonard M. Cowley,
public relations officer. Leo Guynn,
chairman of the state membership
committee, also attended the confer
ence.
The object of the Department
Commanders visit was to outline
the program of activity for increas-
ing membership in every Legion
post in the state.
With a prize in view for the first
post that passes its 1926 member
ship, the department commander be-
lieved that the individual organiza-
tions will show great deal of in
terest in the contest for member
ship.
''There are hundreds Of ex-service
men in Arizona who should belong
to the American Legion" Com
mander DeCamp declared. "All that
it takes to secure their membership
is activity on the part of the posts
in the sections in which these men
reside.
"The membership of the Arizona
Department can be and will be ma
terially increased if the officers of
the various posts make some effort
to secure members instead of resting
on their oars following their eleva-
ton to office. The worth of an officer
is not marked by his campaign to
secure office, but by the results Of
his work in his organization once he
has been chosen to an important po-
sition.
.T believe that, with the selection
of the officers of the different posts
completed, these posts will show
material increase over their member
ships of 1926. Last year the Arizona
posts made an excellent record
through the efforts of the individual
post officers. This year in each post
each officer should make an effort
to show an increase in membership
for his post over that attained last
year. | believe that this will be ac-
complished."
The Coconino sun., 1926-11-19

Flagstaff Teachers college eleven
met the first cnference defeat
of the season Friday when the
Tempe Teachers college defeated
them 14-0 at the state fair at Phoe-
nix
Flagstaff outplayed and outclassed
the much heavier Tempe team for the
first three quarters Of the game but
the jinx favored Tempe when Flag
staff pass was intercepted and Joe
Smith, Tempe fullback, sidestepped
three taclzlers and ran 55 yards for
the first touchdown. Tempe scored
the second touchdown when a punt
was blocked and the ball carried
over the line. Riggs, quarterback for
Tempe converted both extra points.
Spectators from the side lines stat
ed that Flagstaff played very incon-
sistent football the last quarter, a
trait they have not had against them
in any other game this season. Re-
alizing that Flagstaff had much bet
ter record to show than Tempe it is
hard to believe that the Tempe team
would have won had the breaks of
the game not been IN their favor.
The Lumberjaeks, however, take their
defeat as good losers.
The jynx to Flagstaff followed
them ali through the game. In the
first half the ball was carried with
in five yards of the Tempe goal by
the locals but both times it was lost
on fumbles.
The Flagstaff team opened the
game with a nice offensive and made
many long gains but were unable to
overcome the costly fumbles at crit
ical moments.
Flagstaff rallied near the end of
the last quarter and was making
regular gains when the final whistle
blew.
Flagstaff punted IA times for an
average of 80 yards. Tempe punted
IL times for an average of 81 yards.
Tempe completed eight first downs
to Flagstaff's seven. Flagstaff COM
pleted two passes out of eight and
Tempe one out Of Is. Four Tempe
