1920 NEW YoRK-AvE.,

| publican postmaster. He has in his pos
session bulky package of papers which
| will open Postm master General Bissell's
eyes when he sees them. Benefits term
will expire anyhow in about two months,
but Mr.. Taylor and some of the other
| good democrats want to make horrible
example of this worthy for the good eff
feet it will have in purifying the political
atmosphere of that part of the district.
Bennett is widely known down In that
section. Ho is an offensive partisan OF
the worst type. On the day OF the presi.
Dental election he was very active in get
| ting negroes to the polls, and 1t is
said he has not very scrupulous
about the kind OF argument he used to
J get them to vote the republican ticket,
but there are other and more serious
charges made against Bennett. These do
| not emanate from democratic sources,
either. The principal opposition to Ben
| nett came from members of his own po-
litical party.
The Evansville Journal is especially
hostile to the postmaster. In the bulky
package which Mr.. Taylor will show to
the postmaster-general and the president,
il it becomes necessary, are a lot of clip
pings from the Journal making all kinds
OF accusations against Ben nett. These
accusations can be substantiated by the
atiidavits of reputable citizens if il comes
70 that
Postm Master Greiner of Terre Haute had
not better RELY too implicitly upon the
intelligence conveyed in the Indianapolis
Journal to the effect that John Lambs
mission TO Washington was entirely
unsuccessful TIE SENTINEL correspond
ent heard today that Mr.. Bissell is giving
this case serious consideration. He could
not do otherwise. Mr.. Greiner's case is
too notorious. Everybody at Terre Haute
understands the nature OF part of the
charges made against Greiner. He is not
only very offensive partisan. but other
charges are made against him, which in
volve question OF moral turpitude. Harry
Donham will be appointed to succeed
Greiner. This is settled
Representative BrooXsnire OF the
Eighth Indiana district was asked today il
he would keep up the fight for his man
Hewitt of Crawfo-dsville for the position
OF CO lectOr OF internal revenue for Terre
Hsute collection district for the place that
Senator Voorhees, wants for Joshua Jump
OF that city. Brookshire said he would
certainly do his best for Hewitt He said
he had no fight to make on Mr.. Voorhees,
man, whom he regarded highly. He did
not think that Mr.. Voorhees, could take ex-
ceptions to this action in pressing Hew-
litt for the place. Inssmuch as Repre-
sentative Holman was conceded the right
to name the collector for the other dis
trict he thought no one ought TO com
~ al IN nf
own constituents. Mr.. Brookshire said
he did not know whether or not any one
was opposed to Jumps nomination or
had urged any reasons against the ap-
pointment. lie said he certainly had not
done so, and would not whatever others
might do. Brookshire said that he had
talked with the president about the APP
pointment of Hewitt, and he felt reason
ably sure that his man would win.
