Black Eye for Observation-Disclosures
ment by the President. OF C. p. Fra
zier to Greensboro Postmastership
and of L.. n. Grant to GoldsbOro Po-
sition Comes Like Bolt From Clear
Sky TO State OrganizatiOn-A Vic
tory for Blackburn.
w. A. Hilderbrand in Charlotte OBJ
Observer.

W.. a. I14iOCIDl oIu III AId w"
Observer.
Washington, January 24.-The Re-
publican State organization got an
awful Jar direct from the White House
to-day when the President transmit
ted to the Senate the name of Cyrus
2. Franzier for postmaster at Greens
boro IN that of Louis \. Grant for
postmaster at Goldsboro- Both these
men are prominent Blackburn men
and had placed their political fortunes
wholly in the keeping Of the gentle
men from n eighth. The organiza-
ton people were astounded when they
heard what the President had done,
for the writer is in a position to state,
without fear of contradiction, that Mr..
Roosevelt, and not the department,
made these appointments. not the
least astonishing feature of this per
Torrance is the fact that Postmaster
Dobson not only had an excellent re-
cord, and was we'll endorsed by pa
irons of his office, but he was endorsed
by Chairman Rollins and National
Committeeman Duncan, who came
here a few days ago to o after the
matter and went on to the station, re-
joicing in the fancied belief that all
was well. In fact, Chairman Rollins
showed Mr.. Grant a letter from the
department saying that Mr.. Dobson 5
record was excellent and hat he would
be re-appointed unless some valid rea-
son could be advanced why he should
not be. Mr.. Grant simply smiled and
remarked That he supposed things
would come out all right in the wash
Or words to that effect, and that Nj.
Blackburn was looking after his in
tereSts.
What will make the situation doubly
CALLING to the organization is that
young Grants father, Major Fl. L.
Grant, is n of the most active of the
anti-organizatiOn Republicans, was n
Of the prime movers in starting The
Tar Heel, and joined Blackburn's
flying squadron On its recent visit
to the White House. Neither the
President nor the postmaster general
appears to have consulted the Republi-
can chairman with reference to the
Greensboro appointment. There was
a tacit understanding that the Green's
boro position would be rendered by the
organization to Editor r. NJ. Douglass,
but up to the present writing, the
state chairman has made no recon-
mendation. Postmaster Glenn, of
Greensboro, has long been an oppon-
ent of the Republican congressman,
who asked for his removal. Mr..
Glenn's term does not expire, SO it
was stated here tonight, until the lat
ter part of next month.
The prediction is now being freely
made that the President has cOnclud-
ed to deal with Mr.. Blackburn in his
representative capacity and that he
will, before a great while, secure the
sca1ps of others who have been known
as his opponents.
