MILWAUKEE,, Wis.,, January 22.-The
Milwaukee post Office contest. now settled
has developed new phase of the Post Of
fee Departments new system of naming
postmasters, and incidentally has shown
how this system can be beaten. 1t was
only by the most strenuous efforts of the
representatives, however. that the local Of
fee was finally secured for the candidate of
one of the two local representatives. 1t
had been expected that Representative
Often would nominate William l. Greene.
but Mr.. Often determined upon Wade FL.
Richardson. Representative Stafford then
nominated Mr.. Greene. Friends of other
candidates brought pressure to bear at
Washington. and to settle the trouble Mr..
Cortelyou found that a friend Of his. d. C..
Owen. was Stafford's second choice.
In this event he secured the approval OF
Owen and the appointment was ready TO
be sent to the senators. when Often went
to the President. He managed to get the
appointment held up and resumed work for
Richardson. He soon found. however, that
the Post Office Department was determined
to secure the Office for Owen, IL possible,
Owen having been close friend of III. G..
Payne.

Euchered Out of Decision.

4 split between the representatives gave
Cortelyou the final decision. AS Owen was
personally opposed by Often, it soon be-
came evident that Stafford and Often must
unite to prevent the appointment of Cor
telyou's choice. So the representatives
united and Mr. Often has the promise of
the President that Greene will be named.
Though defeat for Often, this appoint
ment is better, from his standpoint, than
the naming of Owen.
Locally this is regarded as defeat for
the new policy Of Cortelyou. which has
caused considerable comment among rep
resentatives. who felt that the Post Office
Department to name postmasters was an
infringement on their just patronage.
