Hunt Takes Oath of Office as First Governor of the Newly Created State of Arizona. CEREMONY WAS STRIKINGLY SIMPLE In the Presence of Several Hundred Spectators Gila Man Was Inducted Into Office at the Capitol at Noon Yesterday. "With the ceremony so timed that tin? assent to the oath came a few seconds before 12 o'clock. George "William Paul Hunt, stauiing on the portico of the capitol building, yesterday assumed the responsibility of the first governor of Arizona. The oath was administered by Chief Justice Alfred Franklin.

J-nnings Bryan who was Voiding- an impromptu reception on one of them. Immediately after the inauguration the governor took his station in tiie -executive chambers with Mr. Bryan on his- right hand and the two gentlemen received and shook hi.nds with hundreds who filed through tne building to welcome one. the state's first choice for governor, and the other the world's most famous of democratic faith and holding principles much in accord with the governor.

Simplicity and modest ceremonials were the keynote of the event, in strict accordance with the wishes of the new governor who holds that as a matter or principle the higher the official, the nearer he should place himself on the common level in Hi affairs of state. In conformity with that conviction Ik walked to the capitol building and took the oath under no decoration save the state flag and the regimental flag of the national guard. The offices within Vkere devoid of flowers, bunting or any decoration save the fixed furnishings the apartment. The occasion was impressive, but only by the importance of what was transpiring and the ipres-ence of the citizenship of the state whom the governor addressed witli al' the fervor and earnestness of his soul, after he had taken the oath. The announcement to Arizona that twenty years of unwearying effort and persistent knocking on the statehood door had finally swung the portal ajar, came in a telegram shortly after o'clock, with the information that President Taft Iwd signed his proclamation of admission.

A few moments thereafter a wild chorus of whistles, bells and all manner of noise producers apprised the peopK? of what had occurred, ar.d it was well known that the announced program of inauguration and ceiebration, was on. The first was to be a distinctly official event, the other a gvneral celebration of unbridled rejoicirg. About 10:30 o'clock Sidney P. Osborn secretary of state accompanied by Alfred Franklin, chief justice and Judge Henry D. Ross, appeared before Captain P.

P. Parker, justice of the peace, in his office, and took their oaths of office. These were f'led with Mr. Osborn as the new secretary of state, and all was in readiness for the formal occupancy of the capitol building, by Arizona's first state administration. At 11:13 Governor elect Hunt appeared in the lobby of tire Ford Hotel and a few minutes thereafter, began his inarch to the capitol, spectacular in Ms simplicity.

The governor was es-torted by many of his official family.

GREAT CROWD HELD CAPTIVE Colonel Is Also of Opinion That Arizona Has Best Constitution of All the States. "Tlie greatest commoner of them all." That is what Eugene Brady O'Neill called Colonel "William Jennings Bryan right to the latter's face, and to the several und respective faces of five thousand cheering people in City Hall plaza at half past two yesterday af ternoon. For the succeeding two hours the "greatest commoner of them all" was busy living up to the foreword. Some perhaps there were in that great crowd who wouldn't know a commoner from a dish of chop suey, but be that as It may the wonderful personality, the appealing oratory, the clear compelling voice, tho eloquent gesture, and the simple llow of perfectly selected words held that crowd as effectively as chains, or bars, and "all the king's horses and all the king's men" could not have dragged a corporal's guard from beyond the sound of the speaker's voice. It was democracy's day, and being day it was fitting and proper that democracy's prophet should be the one to lift the inauguration celebration from the ranks of the commonplace to thut of enthusiastic success.

On the stand with Colonel Bryan were the governor. Mayor Christy. Ku-gene Brady O'Neill antl sundry lessor lights, but the crowd saw only Colonel Bryan, and had ear only for the magnetic words which fell from his ready lips. "Whither do we might have been tlie topic of the speaker's talk, but that wasn't what he called it. Bryan preferred "The Trend of Events Toward Popular Government." ami politics aside it was one of the greatest public speeches beard from a Phoenix piatform in a month of pink moons.

Among the sub-divisions of his long speech the most important utterance his hearers was the statement in which he declared his reasons for "not being a candidate for the presidential nomination." These, the Colonel de clared, were lieeause so many of his Iolicies had been adopted by Roosevelt and Taft that it would be quite useless for him "to take over the cares aird worries of a great office when he could get men to do the work for him and leave him free to visit Arizona." It wasn't a very definite, or very convincing expression of a. determin ation never again to become a candidate for the highest office the people have to bestow. Bryan didn't cross his heart, if the clarion call again sounds there is nothing in his Admission Day speech which cannot well be turned off as a perfectly harmless joke. One of the reasons why the Peerless One likes lo visit Arizona Is on account of its democracy, and because the state begins "a great era with a great constitution." The Arizona constitution has an edge on th- document promulgated in Philadelphia. Bryan declared that the Oklahoma constitution is a better document than the constitution of the Fnlted States and that the Arizona ensitution is better than the Oklaho ma constitution.

With the initiative and referendum vou can get anything else you want," continued the speaker. "I am free to cnfess thai I would have advised the elimination of the recall for the sake of statehood, but I am mighty glavl that I did not have the chance to ad-v'se you." Bryan Is for tho recall of everybody who can oe recalled. He would recall fudges, and he would establish the presidentiHl primary at the earliest date permissable by a benign provi dence and the first legislature of the new state. The income tax amendment received the eloquent seal of his approval, and ho commended this proposed constitutional amendment to the early con sideration of the legislature. President Taft came in for arraignment, and the Colonel found fault with the president's use of the word demagogue which he said the president had unconsciously applied to Abraham Lincoln In A Lincoln Day speech when he referred to the "tnun being above the dollar.

According to Bryan. Taft doesn't Inilieve this doctrine which he Mated was first elucidated by Lincoln in UG0.

WOMAN'S CLUB ENTERTAINMENT CHEERS GREET JOYFUL NEWS OF Panoramic Procession of Admission Day Events Evokes Enthusiasm of People. HUGE PARADE WAS FEATURE Merrymaking Extended Far Into Night and Closed with Inaugural Ball Held on Streets. The forty-eighth star has been planted in the blue field of Old Glory. More with complacency than with enthusiasm Phoenix celebrated the event. Tlie city was crowded, to be sure; hundreds cuine long distances to see the governor take the oath of office and to shake his hand at the evening reception.

But it was not a boisterous, din-creating crowd. Tlie spirit was there, true enough, but it took the form of contentment rather than a glad frenzy. A fw minutes after o'clock yesterday morning a telegraph operator received the message from Washington for which Arizona has waitd over thirty vear? ever since those days when the old men of the Indian fight ing generation dreamed dreams of statehood. From that time until midnight the rirst Admission Day was celebrated. The principal events were the inauguration, the Admission duy iki-rade and the reception, at the Hotel Adams last night.

The spectacular feature of the day the treet dance did not quite come up to expectations, due jmrtly to the tndisiiosition of the crowd "and. again, to the unfortunate placing of the band a jriMiitioii that made It impossible to hear clearly on the street below. It wus estimated by the police that from five to eight thousand outsiders visited the city yesterday. Some arrived the night before, but the early hours of Wednesday saw the bulk of them come into Phoenix. Some walked: many rancher threw a leg over his cayiise and rode into the city.

They came on backboards and by wagon loads, by rail and by automobile. By the time the announcement of the singing or the statehood proclamation by President Taft was made, the down town streets were alive witli the amusement-seeking crowd. Phoenix shut up shop for the day. and Phoenix decorated. The business places remaining open were those which carer to the trade of pleasure-seekers.

Th rest did no during the entire day. The national colors were everywhere in flags, in bunting: in window decorations ttiul in the decorations on vehicles Automobile owners made especial efforts to flaunt tlie red, white and blue. Scores of cars were driven about the streets all day long, from which fluttered flags and pennants, streamers and well arranged bunting. Souvenir Imdges were worn by thousands. The telegram which announced that the chief executive of the United States had affixed his signature to the document which proclaims the death of Arizona, the territory, and the birth of Arizona, tlie state greeted by the ringing of bells and the explosion or a Tew fireworks.

The great enthusiasm which greeted tile news of the adoption of tlie state constitution was not revived. That, of course, yas the Inst step toward the ultimate end desired and. once accomplished, the final fact became almost a certainty. However.

Bryan whom people crowded to see and hear, whose hand they Insisted upon shaking, and in whose smile they preferred to bask. The sentiment was well expressed by one patriot who said: "Governor Hunt will be up there at the head of Washington street for pretty nearly a year. We can go up there and cheer hi many time we want to." Mr. Bryan likes Arizona. He said so.

He likes Phoenix, and the Salt River Valley. No secret of state is betrayed in his statement. Bryan himself is the first to acknowledge Its absolute verity. Through The Republican he sends his message of good cheer and of congratulation to the people of the new state. "I am glad to be her? today and to help you celebrate," he said.

Colonel Bryan reached Phoenix early in the morning and was met at th? station by Dr.

Breakfast was served at the Hughes home in West Adams street, and afterward the Commoner donned a black skull cap and went to the veranda to enjoy the matchless beauty of a perfect Arizona winter morning. It was here that he responded to the salutations of passing friends and the Colonel has many friends in Phoenix. For each lie had a sample of the hearty hand-shake that at once places the guest at ease and removes all trace of restraint. "I'm glad to see you." the Colonel says, and saying it the visitor is suffused with a pleasant glow of delight.

He understands that Bryan Is really and truly, honest-to-goodness glad, and the man from Lincoln has made another rriend. The Colonel was willing to talk. fairly bubbled over with good spirits and reflected in every word his pleasure at the final accomplishment of statehood. which had been announced in siren voice by the whistles and bells of the city.
