Congressman Brick 5 Troubles.

Here is Congressman Bricks posi-
ton.
Conger, now in possession of the
postoffice, who has executed the duties
faithfully and to the satisfaction of the
public, asked resppointment. He was
endorsed by more than majority of
the people of this vicinity.
Win Simons, an old personal friend
of the congressman and also of Sena
tor Fair banks, wanted the postotlice. In
fact, it Is customary for the congress
man when he visits Plymouth to make
the Simon's home his headquarters.
Of course be disliked to turn down
so close q friend and in fact one who
has in the past rendered him some ser
vices that he cannot but thoroughly
appreciate.
Mr. Yockey was urged and backed by
Chairman Skunk and the county organ
izstion and it would have been poor pol
itics for the congressman to turn
6koluct tuC llO "ohsON
to humor Skunk and at the same time
he feared the offense that such an ap-
pointment will give the Judge Hess
faction.
Mr.. Slater and Mr.. Bonhsm were
each delegates to the convention when
Mr.. Brick received his first nomination
Each of these candidates were Brick
men and lsbored hard for him in the
convention at time when assistance
of this kind was of the substantial
stuff. He wanted to reward these
friends who stood by him so nobly and
made it possible for him to become q
congressman.
Hendricks had no particular claim
upon the Congressman except that he
runs the psrty organ here. While hs
would under ordinary circumstances
like to encourage the aspirations of the
newspaper publisher. there are many
reasons why he could not afford to have
Hendricks as his spokesman here.
Verify. the congressman had "hot
to.mollie" on his hand

made the prophesy that j. A. Yockey
would be the successful sspirsnt for the
postoflice. kilograms Wednesday to
interested parties in Plymouth to
the effect that MIR. Yockey will be rec
ommended by Congressman Brick sim
ply settles what to the Independent has
been a foregone conclusion for some
time. Chairman Skunk received this
short telegram at AZ p. m. Wednesday: ::
"Will recommend j. A. Yockey for
the postoflice at Plymouth today.
"a l.. BRICK"
Mr. Conger also received this tele-
gram:
"W. III. Conger, Plymouth, Ind:
''Hsve recommended J a YOckey
for postmaster at Plymouth.
"a. l.. BRICK"
other candidates received similar tele-
grams. Mr.. Simons was the first of the
defeated candidates to reach the post
office to congratulate Mr.. Y ockey, but
that gentleman was out and be left his
card. Mr.. Conger had just read his
telegram and it was evident that he
keenly felt the disappointment.
Clarence Slater went to South Bend
Tuesday and when he returned he told
several friends that he learned enough
to know that he was not to be the post
master. He went hcme without wait
ing for his elegrsm.
VIM Hendricks, who thought he had
a pull because he runs the Republican,
has discovered that his standard of
journalism is not appreciated even by
the republicans snC he feels the rebuke
perhaps more than any other candidate
could. 1t has for all time, by both par
ties, been customary TO reward the
editors of party organs with the post
office. Ii there is any one office that
an editor is entitled TO, it is the post
office. Congressman Brick has already
recognized various editors in the dis
trict, but his refusal to recognize the
Plymouth editor simply means that he
discountenances the republican organ
of Marshall county as conducted by the
present publisher. hendricks certainly
has ample reason to feel down-hesrted,
as this turning down is an announce
ment to the republicans and democrats
of this county that the Republican and
Evening News are not in favor with the
congressman and the county republi-
can machine.
The appointment of y Jockey is also a
victory for Chairman Skunk and the
young republicans over Judge Hess
and the old-timers.
1t will be remembered that Judge
Hess in his interview gave it out that
Skunk would find )ut that there are
others with greater influence than he
possesses, at the seme time intimating
that he Hess and others would land
Mr.. Conger. The judge guessed wrong
that's all. From the day that the Judge
gave out his interview, Chairman
Skunk got down to work, determining
10 show the Judge and the old-timers
that he is more consequential than they
have reckOned. The appointment of
YOckey tells the whole story of this
Skunk and Hese fight. Skunk and bis
machine simply Outgenersled the old.
timers.
The people of Plymouth and vicinity
have been we'll satisfied with Mr.. Conger
and all will regret his displacement
Yet Mr.. YOckey is man of unim'
peachsble character, and he knows the
Office perfectly. SO far as the public is
concerned there is no question but the
the office will be conducted to the salts
faction of ell.
