WOMEN ORGANIZE
DEMOCRATIC CLUB
Women of Clifton Meet at Town Hall
Tuesday Evening and Perfect an
Organization-EIect Officers and
Appoint Committees.

For the purpose of organizing a
Democratic Club a number of the wo-
men of Clifton met at the Town Hall
on Tuesday evening. The women are
taking an active interest in the COM
ing campaign and it is their intention
to do all in their power to encourage
the candidacy of the best available
material for the county and precinct
offices. To this end the organization
of the Woman's Democratic Club was
perfected and it is hoped that every
woman voter in Clifton will join the
Club and do their best to further the
interests of their principles.
A feeling of good fellowship and a
desire to cooperate with the men in
the coming election permeated the
meeting on Tuesday evening and it is
probable that other clubs will be
formed in the different county pre-
cincts. Meetings of the local club
will be held at the Town Hall every
other Wednesday evening at 1870 o.
clock and all women interested in the
welfare of the county and in the cleo
ton of the best possible candidates
for the respective offices would do
well to attend.
The members of the club will gladly

candidates who are running for office
and in fact urge them to come in and
tell what they stand for and what
may be expected of them if elected.
1t is understood that there will be
several women candidates for county
Offices this fall and with the solid
support of the women voters behind
them it is more than likely that the
cunrt house will be graced with wo-
Mon olEce holders after the first of
the year.
The next meeting of the Clifton Wo
mans Democratic Club will be held
on Wednesday, June %.
At the meeting last Tuesday even
ing the following officers were elect
ed: Chairman, Mrs. Pearl Hill;
Vice Chairman, Mrs. Jennie Mitchell;
Secretary, Mrs. Jessie Billingsley;
! Treasurer, Mrs. Anna Reardon. A
committee of affairs was appointed as
follows: Mrs. Ruth G. Kelly, Mrs.
Elizabeth Tappin, Mrs. Lizzie Await.
Plans are being perfected by this
committee for rousing big dance to
be held at the Princess Theatre on the
Fourth of July.

lieve in the get-rich-quick method of
doing business Deputy sheriffs have
been on the watch for suspected par
ties for some time but until this week
the offenders have been able to es-
cape their vigilance but ultimately
the long hand of the law has appre-
hended them with the goods.
On Tuesday morning about 10 o.
clock Leonard Smith was arrested
by the officers in Wards Canyon after
giving them a merry chase. He left
Lordsburg in the early morning ac-
cording to the officers with ten cases
of whiskey and at Franklin his ma
chine was pulled across. the river by
farmer. Near Duncan while on
his way to Clifton he stopped for a
short time and sold some of the Ii
quor to couple of boys. The Off
GERS were apprised of his presence in
that vicinity and at once got on his
trail, giving chase in an autom0bile-

month. He was always ready with a
helping hand and words of advice in
anything that pertained to the better
ment of civic conditions and he is
directly responsible for much of the
good that has been accomplished
along those lines in the past few
years. He was also active in lodge
work and his presence in these as
semblages will be sadly missed. He
was never known to shirk an obliga-
tion or duty which had to do with the
advancement and welfare of the Or
ders to which he belonged and his
faithful work among them in Clifton
will endure so long as the orders them
selves.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fraser left Clifton on
Thursday morning for New York City
from which place they will sail on
July 9th for Tucacas, Venezuela. From
this place they journey inland about
so miles to Aroa where Mr.. Fraser
will be in charge of the smelter of
the American Copper Syndicate, Ltd .,
as superintendent. That they may
be prosperous and contented in their
new field Of endeavor is the wish of
their Clifton friends,

CLIFTON BOYS DRAW
FIRST BLOOD
SUNDAY
With a Score of II to q Clifton Trims
the Hill City Boys in the First Game
to be Played Between Morenci and
Clifton.

Sunday afternoon proved to be dis
astrous beginning for Morenci in the
base ball field when the local boys
trimmed them in the initial game
with a score of IT to and trium-
phantly marched home with the scalp
of the Hill Billies who had the temer-
ity to challenge them to the conflict.
Although one-sided the game was
thoroughly enjoyed by large crowd
of fans, the Morenci supporters doing
heroic work roofing for their home
team and endeavoring to pull them
through to victory. But a cruel fate
decreed otherwise and the hard work
of the Morenci players went by the
board.
The features of the game were two
home run hits, one by Fowler of Mo-
renci, and one by Riley, of Clifton.
Clifton had five hits to her credit
while Morenci had nine, with errors
standing one for Clifton and four for
Morenci. A little more team work on
the part of both mines will add much
to their efficiency as challengers for
outside honors, although the Morenci
infield showed up we'll and all they
need is a good battery to make any
team in the southwest sit up and take
notice.
Eaton of Clifton looks mighty good
to the fans and it is up to them to
hold onto him. Jennings at third is
a good hitter and good all-round
player. Lordsburg let good one get
away. On account of the enthusiasm
over the home runt hit of Riley the
fans are now asking, Riley, did your
mother raise you to be a ball player?"
Pete Azarte on short is fast kid,
while Charley Chaplin at first-well,
we don't need Merkle at present.
The Grimes brothers and Bennie in
the outfield are fast enough for any
copper league team in the southwest.
1t fell to Mckenzie and A. Grimes to
pull pretty squeeze play in the Sec
ond and get away with it.
The Sarah Bernhart of baseball,
Pete Riley, made his farewell appear
ance at Morenci by making a home
run on bunt to the pitcher. 1t is
understood that he will, however, be
kept on the advisory board.
Clifton will have a new catcher this
week and probably by the end of the
month two new infielders will be
added to the team. The baseball
boys are doing their part in putting
up good ball and it is now up to the
fans to get out and root and boost for
the team and Clifton will have one of
the best teams in the state. All that
is needed is a little encouragement.
Clifton and Morenci will again cross
bats on the Clifton diamond next
Sunday at which time it is hoped that
a good crowd will be present as the
game promises to be closer and more
interesting than the one of last Sun
day. Turn out and help the boys do
their best.
Among the fans who attended the
game at Morenci were DR.. E. R. Nc
Pheeters, C.. E. Tyler, Laurie Simth,
Heine White.
Following is the line-un and score:
