Arizona Delegates Doubtful.

Arizona Delegates Doubtful.
When the Arizona delegates to
the Chicago convention were
selected it was boldly stated that
only one of the six would vote
for Roosevelt. With the con-
vention still a week away it is
being limited that a majority of
the delegates will be for Roose-
velt, and it will not be surpris-
ing to hear the delegation is solid
when the roll is called. ].
Lorenzo HubbelI, although not a
delegate, has already gone to
Chicago to feel out the general
sentiment of the rank and file of
the party, and it is an open
secret that if his Investigations
bear out his suspicious, his
power and influence will be used
on the Arizona delegates to line
up for Roosevelt. The carrying
of Arizona by the republicans is
the one potent factor that will
govern the final decision, and it
is growing more apparent every
day that state success depends
largely on the result at Chicago.
1t is no longer a question Wheth-
er we want Roosevelt; it is a
question of victory for the party
in November, and his is the only
name that stirs up any degree
of enthusiasm in the rank and
file. Party bosses and politicians
may not want him, but the votes
come from the proletariat.

Postal Savings.

will now be accepted at the post
office. This is made possible by
an important amendment to the
Postal Savings Act just approV-
ed by President Wilson. A pos
tai savings depositor may now
have an account amounting to
$1,000 upon which interest will
be paid. Formerly $500 was the
maximum amount ne could have
to his credit. This enlargement
of postal savings facilities will be
very gratifying to thousands OF
depositors who have already
reached the old $500 limit and
are anxious to entrust more OF
their savings to Uncle Sam.
Another feature Of the amend
ment that will avoid further en-
barassment to the public and to
postal officials is the doing away
with the limit on the amount that
could be accepted from deposltor
monthly. Under the old law
only 800 could be deposited in a
calendar month. The amend
mont ahOlish0S this restriction.
While the Postal Savings System
has already proved a signal sue
cess as is shown by the fact that
more than half-a- million de
positors have over eight million
dollars standing to their credit,
still it has fallen short of meet
ing the full demands OF the
public because of the restrictions
which have now been eliminated.
Postmaster General Burleson and
Third Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Cookery have been tireless
in their efforts to secure a modi-
fcation of the limitations and the
new liberalizing legislation is
particularly gratifying to them.
Big Celebration Assured.
The celebration in Flagstaff

of obtaining a one and-third fare
for the round trip to Flagstaff
over all Santa Fe lines in Ariz-
ona. Tickets will be on sale
July 1st, with a return limit to
July 5th. This will allow several
days in the "Ski Hi'' city for
those who may desire to take
advantage Of this rate.
