HARRIS ASSISTANT
Rumors Have IL that He Goes
into Postoffice With
Mcdonald.
SUCCESSOR TO O. P. OLSON
E. n. Buck Now Explains His Connec.
ton With the Complications in
Postoffice Contest.

With the settlement of the question
of a postmaster of Rock Island for
the next four years is precipitated the
discussion with reference to the as
sistant, it being common belief that
the present encumbent Will retire. The
rumors go that Charles Harris, now
employed in the head office of the
Modern Woodmen of America, has the
inside track upon this position and will
probably land unless complications
arise. Earlier in the campaign of the
candidates for postoffice honors,
Joshua Hasselquist and J. H. Liedke
were both mentioned in connection
with the position of assistant in case
Mr.. Mcdonald was successful.
Il. III. Buck Talks.
Edwin II. Buck acknowledged for
the first time to The Argus this morn
ing his candidacy for the Rock Island
postmastership, despite the mystery
that seemed TO surround the revelation
as made through The Argus special
dispatches of his candidacy. "There
was nothing particular about my candi
dacy that was out of the ordinary at
any time said Mr. Buck while l
secured no petition, and did not an
nounce my candidacy, yet my papers
were on file from the 21st of Deem
ber and they were filed by Congress
man Mckinney on that date AS to
Congressman CRAFTS interest or en-
dorsement of me, know nothing what
ever l did not seek congressional sup
port outside of my own district"
So it appears that while Congress-
man Mckinney may not have endorsed
Mr.. Bucks candidacy. filed papers for
him early in the contest. which fact
gave prominence in Washington to Mr.
Bucks candidacy, Notwithstanding that
nothing was known here of it, and that
the congressman from this district
came near having a fit when told that
an outside congressman was putting
in"
Now that the local postoffice ques-
ton is settled with the appointment of
Capt. Mcdonald, we may be expecting
all sorts of denials and explanations
which were not deemed proper. or at
least prudent, while the fight was on.
When the war is over, then comes
the accounting.
