He failed to gain his party's nomination in 1932, losing to Benjamin Baker Moeur, and made another unsuccessful run in 1934. Hunt died of heart failure at home on December 24. 1934. He was interred in a white pyramid set atop a hill in Phoenix's Papago Park.

Famous quotes containing the word years:

    I see the callus on his sole,
    The disappearing last of him
    And of his race starvation slim,
    Oh, years ago—ten thousand years.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    My dear Kafka,
    When you’ve had five years of it, not five months,
    Five years of an irresistible force meeting an immoveable object right in your belly,
    Then you’ll know about depression.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
