John c. Gatti and D. E. Bronson returned this week from Tucson where they represented Greenlee county in the State Republican con- vention.

 That Arizona's six delegates to the Renublican National Convention will cast their ballot for Charles Evan Hughes was indicated by a poll of the delegates. Press reports have previously stated that the old stand pat leaders won the convention. This is not the case The six delegates while for Justice Hughes are not anti Roosevelt. It is true that Tom Molloy and Lorenzo Hubbell, two pro- nounced Roosevelt men were defeated but this was because the districting plan was adopted and not because they were Roosevelt men.
 The de]egation held a meeting Sat urday night and selected Judge Ed ward Kent, of Phoenix, charman of chosen secretary. It was decided to

CLIFTON WINS
 FIRST BLOOD

The baseball season for the Clifton, Morenci district opened last Sunday at the local grounds with good crowd of fans in attendance. The initial game was played between Clifton and Morenci, the old time rivalry being revived and both teams hotly contesting every point, the victory falling to Clifton with a score of s to }. Although both teams showed lack of practice, the pep and energy thrown into the game is strong evidence of what may be ex- pected from them in the future when they become true to form. Clifton appeared to be the worst offender in the field, having five errors charged up to them, torr Of which came in the sixth inning after Livingston had relieved Mckenzie on the slab.
 Among the new men Mckenzie showed up well, working four in nings and striking out nine men and allowing one hit to be made off him. He has speed and curves but shows lack of experience when runners are on the bases, allowing them to steal bases at will.
 Dolan at second showed good form. Waldron at first was weak with the stick and was the worst offender in the field Anslow behind the bat put up a good game and the old timers on the team, although out of practice, showed up well.
 The new uniforms for the local team have arrived and there are now enough to go around, which fact will make the players look more like the real thing.
 There will be no regular game next Sunday as a great many of the Mo- renci boys have left with the militia and they are shy on material. How lever, a practice game will be held at the ball grounds to which the public is invited.
 Following is summary of Sundays game:
 Clifton-Runs, s; Hits, g; Errors l0.

Greenlee Members of U. S. Grand Jury Subjects Of Witticism by the Court-ReLurned Home Wednesday,

''The Head and Foot of the grand jury would like to be excused" was what Foreman George Kilt told Judge Sawtelle Tuesday morning in Tue son when tlle Judge asked if any members of the federal grand jury wished to be excused from further ser vice.
 It developed that the 'thead" of the grand jury was G. E. Head of Duncan, and that the foot was Walter B. Foote of Clifton. Both men asked to be excused on account of pressing business reasons. Their request was granted by Judge Sawtelle, who made some witty remarks about the loss of the head and the foot of the grand jury.
 Messrs. Head and Foote returned to their homes on Wednesday evening. J. O. Billingsley and J. J. Atkins, who were also members from this county, are expected home this after noon.
 Eighty cases came up before the U. S. grand jury at Tucson during this term of court.

When President Wilson delivered

When President Wilson delivered his famous message to Congress re- gently stating that he had notified Ger many that her illegal and inhuman warfare against merchant vessels must cease or relations be severed. he was overwhelmed with telegrams of aproval and endorsement from every state, and every important city in the country Then the hyphenated ones got busy and sent a half ton of tele- grams to Congressmen and Senators prote sting against war. But these German telegrams were nearly all alike, showing that the Copperhead society had written the telegrams and passed them along to the hyphenated ones to send to their Congressmen.

If the Republicans weren't so busy in their blind mans bluff game of selecting candidate it might occur to them that there isn't any real need of Republican candidate for Presi- dent this year. It would save them a lot of worry, and it wouldn't affect the result, to just drop out for 1916.

ZOEGLING TEAM. TAKES THIRD
STRAIGHT.
Defeat Loyola Cubs of Mankato On
Their Home Floor. Win In
Extra Five Minutes OF Play.

Last Friday evening the New Ulm
Zoegling basket ball team travelled to
Mankato and clashed with the Loyola
Cubs of that city and defeated them in
a desperate battle. The game was
fought with the greatest energy the
teams could produce and at the end the
score stood 1910. Not being satisfied
with tie the teams decided to play an
extra five minutes and in that time the
battle was won.
About a minute before the regular
time was over the score stood 1870 in
the Cubs favor but before the whistle
blew Muesing managed to secure a free
throw thus tying the score. In the extra
five minutes Of play the New Ulm boys
gained two baskets and one free throw
while the Mankato team was kept from
making field baskets altho they made one
point on a foul.
In the first half the Zoegling team
gained good lead over their opponents,
the score at that time standing 1873. In
the second half the Cubs came back
stronger than their opponents and
secured the lead when the score was later
tied as aforesaid.
Herrian is to be credited with the two
baskets made in the extra five minutes
of play. The boys knowing that the
Mankato team was trying for baskets
kept the ball in their territory and when
the field was clear slipped it to Herrian
who shot the basket. The final score
was 25-21.
This game showed how team work
alone can win game. If the players
had each played independently the game
probably would have been lost. Z;
Muesing was the heavy scorer for the
Zoegling team, making three field throws
and two free throws. Schaefer made
three field baskets and also kept his man
