The Ottumwa Courier,

Washington, D. c., March 8.
Senator Cummins has again object
ed to the confirmation of the postmas-
ters at Bedford an. Corning, appoint
ed by Hepburn to succeed postmasters
who resigned.
Cummins charges this is merely a
plan to perpetuate the Hepburn people
in Office for full four years. The ap-
pointments will expire with March A..
Cummirs has explained to the senate
that if an effort be made to force p
vote on them that he would probably
require several hours to explain his op-
position to them. Dolliver has tried to
force confirmation but 1t is now i'm
possible. After March 4 new appoint
ments must be made and a hot con-
test for control of the eighth district
patronage which will then have Dem
ocratic representative is certain.
Dolliver and Cummins both want
the control.
