Republican Men Are Last And First In Following D. Cupid

Following b. Cupid
 Not content with being the
 first and last in efficiency in or
 dinary life, members of The Re-
 publican forces have gone forth
 and won first and last honors in
 that mystic game in which one
 Dan Cupid, aided and abetted
 by clerk of the court, a minister,
 and a witness or two, takes such
 prominent part.
 This branch into new lines and
 endeavor took members of the
 business and news staffs into
 strange territory, where they won,
 by coincidence and without con-
 suIting even their felIow-Workers,
 a unique place in New YSar's
 records. To wit:
 TheaIas marriage license issued
 in Maricopa county in the year of
 grace 1919 was taken last Wednes
 day afternoon by Allen Brookins
 Brown of the news staff. Yester
 day morning the first marriage
 license issued in Maricopa county
 in the year of grace 1920 was taken
 by Ralph w. Willard, of the bus-
 ness staff. ~
 Thus The Republican men were
 tSSt m 1918 ana IIFSr m iSEO, last
 in the old year and first in the
 new.
 In addition to his other record,
 Brown was among the first men
 in Phoenix to take the marital
 paths, ct cetera, in the new year,
 while Willard was not far behind.
 Brown was married to Miss Doris
 Eleanor Roach of Chicago, by the
 Rev. c. D. Yoakum Thursday aft
 ernoon, and last night Willard
 followed suit by wedding Miss
 Gertrude Stoops of Long Beach.

 After which nothing remained.
 for the friends of the record
 breakers to do but wish the quar-
 tette many happy returns of the
 day.
