 MT Bristow heard the Congressman

 on MT. Thompson that the exigencies or

 II This is one of numerous instances that
 Are continually developing showing the | Present administration has revolutionized he nolicy of the Mckinley regime as to ' Fourth class postofilces.
 I The Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen. |Aral's power is absolute herein and he is . Evidently determined to make a place for N lockers brother.
 MT. Thompson. before coming to Wash
 AnRton, had talk with Booker Washing
 Ion about the proposed postoffice and
 ,sed the same arguments against it
 which he employed today before MT.
 Bristow. Washington appeared to real S ze the force of the objections and prom
 sed to write Bristow and ask him to E hbandon the idea.
