for information do you tell him all the
truth or only so much of it as will

The following in regard to the
appointment of a postmaster at Little
Falls has been received by this paper
from Congressman G. A Lindbergh,
and explains itself:
Washington, D. G, January II, 1908.
To the Voters of Little Falls:
The question of appointment of
postmaster at. Little Falls has been
raised and al there is a variety of
demands as to the person to be recon-
mended I deem it practical at this
time, on account of the coming city
election, to submit the nomination to q
vote at that election and therefore I
submit the question and will, when
there becomes a vacancy, recommend
for postmaster the person who receives
the most votes at such election.
There shall be a separate box for the
deposit of votes on postmaster. The
votes shall be counted by the judges
OF the city election after they nave
counted the votes on the city election.
There is no law compelling the
judges to do the counting, but nc
doubt they a be depended upon, IN
their good citizenship to act.
The ballots shall be substantially as
follows:
For Recommendation for Post.
