Gol olernment, but Notwithstanding those
advantages. it must get the support al
the press and Of public sentiment in
order to wina permanent victory. This

an investigation which has been going
on for months, the postal officials have

that the new construction oil the law
will not inilre any legitimate pnblica-
ton, and count upon getting the sup.
port Of all such.
