was believed to be n Green supporter till
this and his card created quite a stir at

man. DR. Pope was recently installed as
postmaster a. Cameron and the idea of his
attempting TO control the patronage of his
district so inccnsod the office seekers down
there that they are up in arms against the
Cameron postmaster.
They say the fact that Bob Henry beat
him 20 600 votes in the race for congress
proves that he was only dummy can
didate" and that II he even essays TO CON
troll the offices around him they will have
him before the ciyil service commission

The Green leaders have joined In the
war on Pope and il Is said the matter has
already been laid before President McKin-

DR.. Pope believes that his services to
the government as postmaster ought not
to interfere with his rights as an ex-can-

Grant should name all the other postmas-
