Working for the Removal of Postmaster
Thompson Before Expiration of His Com
mission for Selfish Partisan Reasons.

The publication of dispatches from Wash
ington that Postmaster Thompson is soon
to be relieved. in order to give Albert Sahm
the place. caused some stir in political cir
Giles yesterday. Mr.. Thompson, when asked
as to what he knew of the truth of the
statements. said: II have no information
other than see IN the papers. have not
asked single person to turn his hand over
for me. and | have been simply going on
Givina all my attention to the business of

rumor be true. Politics is q cold blooded
business. i know, and if the sdminlstra-
tion wants to put the office into politics, l
presu me they will do so. and turn me out"
Albert Sahm said again. as he has repeat
edly said, that he knew of no charges being
preferred. and that if there were any he
had no hand in them. Inquiry among
the ring politicians developed that
the report was believed these having had
hand IN the petition for removal 1t has
been well known for several weeks that
some charges had been preferred. They
are In the tow of Congressman Bynum,
who Is leaving no stone unturued to bolster

Journal reporter called on Lucius b.
Swift yesterday and asked il he knew of
any of the charges. He said: when /
was recently in Washington / went to the
Postotfice Department. and ask ed to see the
charges. / was told that they were not for
the eye OF the public. was not allowed TO
see them. lt seems TO me the time Is not
far off when the pu bile sentiments will
make such q course impossible. 1t Ought
TO be that when public officer has charges
preferred against him the public
ought TO be informed what they are.
If the administration had manifested
