There were few old faces to be seen at the 1914 meeting of the Arizona postmasters early this week according to Wilson T. Wright Postmaster of Globe, who returned from. the north yesterday. The ranks of the faithful republicans are sadly decimated and in their places are files and files of aspiring democrats, who have followed the national administration to office,
 Over score of postmasters from all over Arizona, but mainly from the north, gathered in Williams for the. convention. Outside of the pleasant auto trip to the Grand Canyon, little of excitement was accomplished. It was the business men and commercial clubs who made possible the triangular motor trip. One of the features of the convention was letter from J. H. McClintock, first president of the association, postmaster of Phoenix
 With MT. Wright, came also Andrew J. Pancrazi. postmaster of Yuma. They reported Postmaster Campbell of Williams was a great host, and that everyone enjoyed the meeting immensely. The two ''P. Ms" parted to return to their homes last evening Republican.

catch, and beautiful run of 20 yards
Redwood was now travelling and made
downs for five straight trials, ending
with the ball again over Willmar's
line. Redwood was called off-side and
penalized FIVE yards. Two downs were
left to again make goal, but in a
mix-up Willmar held and the ball
went over.
Willmar made downs, and gradual
ly worked away from their goal. The
time was becoming very short and we
foresaw nice little 6 to for Red
wood, but not so. On a fake Will
mar sent a man around the end for
a dandy forward pass making first
down; another forward pass followed
at once for another first down, and
again they succeeded in doing the
same thing for gain of thirty yards.
The ball was on the one yard line
and went over. Time was called.
Willmar failed in kicking, and the
great game was ended
The Redwood boys had been the
aggressors, and while not satisfied
