: OAKLAND The people Of the little
Oakland suburb known as Temescal are
almost in a state Of instruction over the
way in which they claim a small circle Of
Oakland Democratic politicians have Jug
gIed their pOstofflce affairs.
In The past few years the people have
had to preside over their mail matters
various persons. Miss Adams held the
office for some time. and, il is claimed, even
went so far away as Alameda TO get sigma
t ures to her petition. She was not wholly
satisfactory in her administration of the
Office and was succeeded by J. NJ. Pedrini.
whom the people liked much because he
built up the business of the Office and con-
seouently helped the business of the
town. Pedrini was succeeded by Mrs. c.
H. Tucker, who had as her assistant j. P.
TWyman.
The Tucker reign was satisfactory be-
cause of The competency of Mr.. Twyman,
who gave all his time to the office and
nreity thoroughly understood the business.
Mrs. Tucker took The Office IN April, but since
the appointment of j. j. White as postmaster
OF Oakland has had her eyes turned toward a
position under MIR. White. that OF assistant
money order clerk, and 1t was understood that
wien she resigned her position In the Iemes'
cal office she would recommend Mr. Twyman
AS her successor, and that gentleman trimmed
his salts for that wind.
Twyman got up his petition. containing over
200 names OF legitimate Temesc illaDs' ana IoI-
WaIded the same 10 Washington. lie sat down
TO wait for his commission, but before his pell-
ton had time to reach Washington he was sur
prised by visit from Miss Mary i. BurdicK,
who said she had received the aDDoin'ment'
This was stunning blow TO Iwyman ano
surprise 10 the people of Temesca generally
lbey looked ABOUT Tor an explanation anu
thought they saw tile fine Italian hand OF the
small coterte OF Oakland Democrats who run
Dot only Oakland affairs, but the affairs of all
the outlying districts.
'.Why," said Mr.. Twyman, "Miss Burdick
only had. am told. fifteen or sixteen names Oh
her petition aud friend tells me she got some
OF them by stating did not want he office.
Am Democrat? Yes. / voted the ticket for
sixteen years, but l don't think I'll be III
hurry 10 vote II again"
Mr.. Twyinan said thar as soon as lie saw how
matters stood he Immediately circulated peti-
lion demonstrating against tile appointing of
Miss Burdlck and he got over 200 names with
ont difficulty. This remonsEfance has beer
sent on 10 Washington
'.Why" said Mr.. TwynaD, "hiiss Burdick
does not even live in his town. site lives at
Bergman station and has lived there Tor fifteen
months. True. she did 1--we here before that
lime and is well known in Temesca, but size is
a nonresident and The postal law Is very ex-
plIcit on that r0lnt."
The law says, under section 397, relating TO
tho residence OF posimasiers, Every postmas-
to- shall reside within The delivery Of the Of
nee to which he is appointed"
1t IS true hat the lady who has received the
