Holland County Leader The post office question stands as for quite awhile past. The fighting is not very hard as yet, the aspirants evidently waiting for the correspondents of the out-of-town pas pers to settle the matter, they apparently knowing more about it than the really ins terested parties. The Stafford Press, inn agining from these that there is being fought a hard battle, suggests that the people might be called upon to decide the question by vote. To this suggestion one of the nominees" rises to remark that this is hardly likely to become necessity, as it was through the intercession of one of the aspirants that the Stafford Springs

A Rockville democratic newspaper correspondent speaking of the post offide issue in that t- city thus airs grievance that seems to be depressing some of the citizens of that modest municipality
 '.As has been before stated, the demb- cratic state central committee has play@ very poor politics in this county. Insteaa of giving something to the the two Qr three factions in the city, they ignored al applications fer favors and left the post office as the one bone of contention.
 The result will be that they will gain nothing in the country districts from which they have chosen men to give posi- tions to, and that in the only city in the county, where men are inclined to follow leader and form into factions, they have hurt themselves irreparably. This the local leaders realize, and bitter feeling exists against Congressman Sperry and the state central committee. This feeling is curbed, however, to 8 great extent, as all are desirous of gaining favor with those men at present. In the meantime we will watch what the coming month viii bring forth with great interest"
