Washington Post Man Touches on
Canton Postmastership Fight
in Brief Way.

The Washington Post has the fol

Mckinley began in the same modest
office.
Both visitors are interested over
the appointment of a postmaster at
Canton. The job pays $4,000 a year,
and has been held two terms by
George Frease. Although close to
Cortelyou it seems Frease did not
know that new ruling would be
made for the retention of good post
masters, even for third term. So it
happened that Frease indorsed his
deputy. Cool, for successor, as against
George Clark, "a lawyer, who had
been picked out by Congressman Ken
nedy.
Mccullough and McLain are against
Clark, and yet remain personally
friendly to the congressman. 1t is an
odd fight and attracts more than local
attention, because it is the old home
town of Mckinley"
