Hunt Democratic Party (United States) The 1914 Arizona gubernatorial election took place on November 3, 1914, for the post of the governor of Arizona. The Supreme Court of Arizona ruled that there would be no statewide elections in 1912, thus extending the terms to sync up with elections on even years.State v. Osborne, 14 Ariz. 185 (1912) The Democratic nominee was incumbent governor George W. P. Hunt, his Republican opponent was the final Delegate to Congress from Arizona Territory, Ralph H. Cameron. Cameron was disadvantaged Goff 1973 63 by the same reason the previous Republican nominee Wells was: he had opposed statehood with the present Constitution. Two third parties also made strong challenges, the Progressives polled over 10% with nominee George Young, the final Territorial Secretary and then-mayor of Phoenix. The Socialists held around the same percentage of votes as in 1911, increasing slightly, but would peak here and never reach the same height. George W. P. Hunt was sworn in again as governor on January 4, 1915. Democratic primary Candidates George W. P. Hunt, incumbent governor Henry A.
