The local postoffice has beer
criticised by Democrats because the
local Republican Club was sending
campaign literature through the mail
under Congressman Loudenslager' s
frank. The Gazette addressed a
letter to Postmaster Peachv on the
subject.
Mr Peachy was asked II il was
true this literature was addressed by
his clerks. He denied it. as DO also
his clerks. He said that the Re
publican club was doing as stated
but that it was legal. and the law
bears him out as We have learned.
In reply to the question be said that
the local Democratic Club could
