TWO MESA RESIDENTS
 CLAIMED BY DEATH
C. $. Sellers and Lafayette Dana Died Yesterday After Brief Illness
 from Pneumonia.

Charles Sumner Sellers, aged fifty years, died at his home in Mesa yes terday morning shortly after six o'clock. About an hour later death claimed Lafayette Dana Both were old time and highly respected resi- dents of Mesa and in each case the coming of the Grim Reaper was un- looked for by relatives and friends. The funeral will take place from the tabernacle at o'clock this afternoon
 MT. Sellers was the son of Samuel and Mary Sellers, and was born June 3. 1862. at Fresno, California All the early part of his life was spent in California and from there he came to Arizona in September. 1895 He be came member of the Church of Lat ter-day Saints and on December 2, 1895. married Elizabeth Ann Hib- bert, who, with the only child, Charles Sumner Sellers, Jr., aged nine years. are left to mourn the loss of a loving husband and father Mr Sellers left five brothers living, four in Califor- nia and the other in the east
 Charles s. Sellers was one of the most highly respected citizens of Mesa. His word was at all times as good as his bond. and he spent a great part of his life in doing good to others. His loss is not only a loss to his family and community, but to the public. Last Monday he was ap- parently in perfect health. He came down town on business, began feIling badly and went home suffering from a severe chill Thinking it was but an attack of grip. no doctor was called until Tuesday morning when Dr. Moeur was sent for. The doctor found the patient suffering from acute penumonia, and had at no time much hope for recovery.
 Lafayette Dana, whose death oc- cured shortly after that of MT. Sel- lers, was 35 years of age, married and leaves a wife and four children to mourn his death While he had been i'll for quite a long time past. recently there was hope that he would soon be entirely recovered from the ailment which had troubled him for several years. On Sunday he attended church at the tabernacle and told his friends that he was feeling fine. Monday he became sick, pneumonia setting in and. in his enfeebled condition, ran a short course.
 Beside the immediate family, MT
 Dana left five brothers, all living | their names being Isaac, Ross, Hugh, | LOran and Frank. MT Dana was a member of the Church of Latter day Saints and at one time filled a mis- sion for the church in the southern | states. He had many friends in the
 community who sympathize with the l family in their bereavement.
 Mrs Dana was Miss Adeline Riggs | before marriage and her people re-
 side at Snowflake, but they will be
 unable to attend the funeral which | will occur at the tabernacle at the
 same hour today as that of MT l Sellers

RAN INTO A BUGGY

The joke is on the marshal this time Following the close of evenings feS- tiVitieS down town Friday night, Tempe's head peace officer started for his home east of the normal on his bicycle. Things progressed very smoothly until he reached the normal grounds. Near that place he passed a man on a bicycle and naturally his attention was turned in that direction as they passed one another. Imme- diately following though, the marshal hit the rear end of a buggy which was standing hitched to a telephone post The result can no doubt be imagined, the wheel escaped serious injury but Marshal Browning sui fered a badly sprained and cut hand in company with other minor bruises. Leaving buggies standing at right angles to the line of the street is a thing that must stop says the mar shal. And to make no exception to this rule the next owner of a buggy which leaves his property in this manner will be arrested is the pro- posed threat.

NORMAL PLAY WAS
 DISTINCT SUCCESS
Five Hundred Enthusiasts Witness
 "AI- f. a. Sudden Peggy"

The normal play, All of Sudden Peggy" given in the auditorium on Friday evening by the girls basket ball association played to a crowded house and was a success from start to finish. It is estimated that at least five hundred were in the en- thusiastic audience that witnessed the play, and the proceeds from the effort of the normal students will net not less than $500 to the association.
 The acting was especially good, every member of the cast showing the greatest care in the parts, indi- eating the careful study that had been given the play. This is the first effort of the season by the normal students. So well was it received, however, that more amateur perform ances will doubtless be given before the end of the school year.

his warm personal friend, pro-
noted him right over the heads
of many army officers until he
was at the head of the establish

ingly efficient commanding gen
eral, and there is no good reason
why he should be deposed. The
opposition to him h a S been
among a lot Of red tape officers
who never smelled any powder
but face powder, who have posed
as society pets in Washington
and who if put into the field
would most likely run at the first

clans who wanted to take a side

Taft in his veto message says
that it would hurt the army to
depose Gen. Wood. Good for

THE HERALD'S TICKET
WILLIAM E. LEE
A THIRD PARTY

hC l'uOIlScll HuClOuul Jill
mittee at Chicago steam rollered
new political party into exist
ence, making conditions S u h
that nearly a majority Of the
delegates could not retain their
self respects. These were all
Roosevelt supporters, part of
whom the national committee
had declined the rights to sit as
delegates. The Sunday meet
ing resulted in the tender of the
presidential nomination to Colo
mel Roosevelt, who thanked the
gathering, saying that he would
gladly step aside at any time for
any other man who might be Sc
iected to head national ticket.
The Chicago convention will
go down to history as one of the
finest examples of a political
gathering resorting to un f a r
and dlsreputaole means to carry
out the wishes and desires of
a coterie of Office holders and
manipulators who are in politics
from mercenary motives. They
made conditions in the Chica 90
convention uncomfortable for a
large and respectable minority.
They forced a ticket through
but they cannot make the people
vote for the nominees. It's pass
ing strange that the national adj
ministration n it's hackers
should be deaf to the voice of
the people; they either do not
sense public sentiment or ignore
it. In either case they are rid
ing to fall.
Conditions in the democratic
party are similar. The Balti-
more convention this week is
likely to duplicate the outrages
OF the Chicago gathering. Bry-
an may be the victim of the
steam roller as was Roosevelt at |
Chicago.
In case the Baltimore machine
works as did the one at Chicago,
there are two men who can make
themselves we'll nigh immortal. |
Those men are William Jennings
Bryan and Theodore Roosevelt.
Let them get together, lay aside
party tenets, discard any per-
sonal political aspirations they
may cherish, and organize and
stand behind party in the in
5erests of the people. T h e
movement would sweep the
country like prairie fire and
the people would secure their
rights. Roosevelt h as started
in the right direction by stating
that he wanted a ew party
whose platform should please
the north and the south, the
east and the west, the republi-
can and the democrat. Let
Bryan meet him in the same
spirit and the names of the two
men would be written in letters
Of light high on the rolls of
fame. Inspired by such lofty
patriotism the party shibboleth
and the loaves and fishes would
be of no avail when weighed in
the balances alongside h e irl
battle for the rights of man. ]
