Shows That He Expects Thrift
to Follow His Fawning to

There is an old adage that says, in
effect, Throw n stone at q bunch Of
ours and the one that is hit pro-
claims his snjury by his howls'
Last week the Herald printed q story
to the effect that Assistant Postmas-
ter Kessler might be removed Az
a result Of r. visit OF an Inspector,
who had been assigned the work of
lnquirine into charges against the
Salt Lake postoffice.
Tho character of the article, IN view
OF recent events, suggested TO observ-
Ing persons. among whom were friends
Of Kessler and Kessler himself, that
the story may have emanated from
Postmaster Thomas
Kessler Visits Newspapers.
So strong was Assistant Postmaster
kessleTs suspicion on this point that
he visited several newspaper offices
and talked the matter over, though
Droclaiming his absolute loyalty
throughout the recent investigation to
his superior.
Much to Justify Suspicion.
There was much in the story to
justify the suspicion that Senator
Sutherland had Joined with Post
mas Thomas. who he had for some
unexplained reason appointed for a
third term in an effort to retain
Thomas even to the point or unload
Ing responsibility for the demoralzed
condition in the Salt Lake office on

A newspaper man who Is In POSI-

The Trbune's comments on the prob
able collusion between Sutherland and
Thomas aroused a considerable feel
ing locally. and it is said that Kess-
ler's friends began a vigorous cam
paign in his behalf.
Warm for Senator.
From the manner in which Senator
Sutherland raves, It would seem that
Kessler's friends had made il extreme
ly warm for him. He talks about
people being hired to do things which
he characterizes as disreputable,
