 Speaks of Applicants.
 Speaking of applicants heard of in Phoenix, immediately after both Taft and Roosevelt had received the count the Republican says the pro cess of cataloguing the applicants is now said to be in progress but it has been found to be more herculean task than was expected. The office of United States marshal is occasion ng the most trouble. Three candi- dates have been informally an ncunced by rumor, w. T. Webb, den- oeratic elector; Joe P. Dillon, clerk ot the supreme court, and A. w. campa gn last spring of Eugene s. Ives for the delegateship to the Bal t,mcre convention. Incidentally it las teen stated that applicants for any federal office must first secure tue Endorsement of MT. Ives. Thus, MT Forbes would seem to occupy place next to the pole.

He is a resident of No gales, where the spirit of home rule rises high.
 J. M. Ronstadt, chairman of the Pima county democratic committee, is an applicant for the position Of postmaster at Tucson to succeed J. Knox Corbett, around whom genera eration after generation have grown and hailed him as postmaster, many nf the present generation believing him to be the first and only post master Tucson has ever had in the more than two hundred years of the axjSfonca Of that town lS
