CLARK CONTEST OF ELECTION
OF GOVERNOR HUNT WILL SOON
BE FILED, DECLARES c. C. LEWIS

PHOENIX, ARR, Dec. P.-Th'
contest suit of e. S. Clark agains
Governor Geo. w. p. Hunt, with ref
erence to the recent gubernatoria
election, will be carried through al
announced, despite rumors circulated
to the contrary, according to an ah-
nouncement made yesterday by c
c. Lewis, secretary of the Clarl
campaign fund committee.
Attorney Joseph E. Morrison, oi
counsel for Clark, stated in this con-
nection that a great deal of prelim.
mary work is necessary to the filing
of such an action, but pointed out
that the time limit within which
the contest suit must be filed does
not expire until December IL.
Due to the fact that rumors have
been insidiously circulated to the Ell
feet that the contest of the recent
election for governor had been aban-
doned and that many inquiries have
been received from citizens relative
thereto" Lewis said "it seems neces-
sary and proper to correct this i'm
preston and al1ay the fears of those
desirous of contest.
Inc ndllSI OI lllIIAS a SOAlOoS AOA
governor has been deferred, pending
the preliminary investigation and
preparation and with a view to as
certaining the sentiment of the citi-
zens of Arizona.
1T now appears that a very strong
sentiment is for contest, based on
evidence of Irregularities which JUS
tify such action.
MANY counties have contributed
their quota of the preliminary cost
of the contest and many citizens are
willing TO contribute when they are
assured that the contest will be
filed.
1T will require considerable sum
to carry the contest through to con-
clusion and all who are interested in
fair play and clean government can
aid the cause materially by making
their contributions to Lloyd B. Chris
ty, treasurer, Phoenix, Arizona, at the
earliest date possible"
Attorney Morrison declared that the
contest will be filed well within the
legal time limit
.sUnder the statute governing con-
test cases wherein state office is
involved" Morrison said, "the con-
testant is allowed 20 days from the
day the result of the election is
declared by the state canvassing
board, within which to file his con-
test. The state canvassing board de-
clared the result of the recent state
election on November %. We, there
fore, have until December IL within
which to initiate the contest. The
necessary statement will be filed
well within that time.
I'm case involving such impor>
tant issues. great deal of preliml-
anary work is necessary and the
preparation of the legal papers re-
nuires a great deal of labor and IN
