Hunt's Inaugural Address
Tho Inaugural address delivered
by Governor W. P. Hunt at Arizona,
was as follows:
Mr. Justice, Governor, and Fel
low Citizens: In tho namo of tho
eovoroigii peoplo of Arizona, who
gave it, and who havo at once tho
right and power to tako it away, I
accept tho responsibility conferred
upon mo.
I accopt it with a clear conception
of its immonsity, koonly conscious
of my own weakness and inadequacy,
but with perfect faith that out of a
determination to servo faithfully will
como compensation for all porsonal
shortcomings, and of an honest de
qiro to rofloct tho peoplo's will, a
successful and beneficial administra
tion. I accopt this responsibility not valn-
gloriously, but in verity humbled by
tho great honor it conveys, and with
mind and heart alive to tho realiza
tion that in failure that honor will
be turned to dishonor and the "well
done" which signifies a race well run
become a reproach and a disgrace.
There is neither thought nor de
sire in my mind that my administra
tion as tho first governor of the
state of Arizona, shall live in history
as excelling the administrations to
como after. I would rather hero ex
press, as I hold the wish, that Ari
zona and tho governors she will here
after elect may continue to be pro
gressive, and that my administra
tion may simply bo so patterned as
to encourage tho growth of an
awakened and continually awaken
ing public spirit and conscience, and

point tho way for administrations
steadily broadening, enlarging and
developing.
I havo neither hope nor ambition
that it .may be said of me in after
years that "he was the best governor
Arizona ever had," but I have the
hope, ambition and determination to
so discharge my public trust that it
will be said of me that "he started
tho state off right," and laid true
to line and plumb the first bricks
placed upon the bure foundation of
a people's constitution.
Arizona is progressive and Arizona
is democratic. This fact has been
clearly and simply demonstrated. I
believe that I may without egotism
suggest that my selection as the
state's first chief executive is in a
sense by reason of the views I have
held and freely expressed, typical
of that progressivencss, of that de
mocracy. Whether this is true or
not, it can do no harm if I choose
to assume that such is the case and
to strive, in turn, to typify by my
conduct in office the state's progres
sivencss and democracy.
The incidents of Arizona's struggle
for statehood, and the steadfast
devotion to principle displayed by
her people, have been of a nature
designed to give her and them high
rank among the states and people
classed as progressive, and it is my
hope that her course may be so
directed and. her affairs so attended
as to justify, in the years to come,
tho faith her beginning has inspired;
that she may continue to be the in
spiration her first example has
kindled; that her progressiveness
may be so steady, so consistent and
so wise as to silence the carpings of
skeptics, discredit the objections of
critics, confound the efforts of ene
mies and light the way of true pro
gress to tue people of older, safer,
saner and less frequently mentioned
commonwealths.
As my administration, so far as
my conduct can insure it, will be
progressive, so will it be democratic
not in the narrow partisan sense
the use of the word too frequently
implies, but in tho Jeffersonian sense
denoting equality, simplicity, unos
tentation and economy. The office
ui uiu Buvurnor win oe open every
working hour, every working day in
the year, and I think I may safely
say many hours beside. And when
I say "open" I mean open to all
alike to the rich and poor, the high
and low, the young and old, of
either sex, of whatever race, of every
religion and political creed. By none

systematically, energetically and
economically conducted. But gov
ernment is tho people's business
all tho peoplo's business and it
shall be administered in tho interest
of all tho peoplo, not only for their
material and financial benefit, better

whatever taxes may bo levied shall
be wisely expended for tho benefit
of all alike, and that tho burden
thereon may fall in just proportion
upon tho shoulders of the rich and
