 at Denver Convention

For the fret time in the history of any political party there vill be VIC. men delegates sitting in 8 national convention when the democratic party meets in Denver July ' to nominate candidates for president and vice. president.

It is one of the richest valleys in the great west, and the gov ernment is spending a big sum c money to reclaim it.

 Discriminated Against

The fact will also be | pointed out to Traffic Manager Jones that Nogales enjoys a better freight rate than Tucson, likewise Benson.
