States in a War Over a Postmaster

Four years ago the late Representa-
tive Campbell Slemp. father and prede-
cessor Of the present representative
from the Ninth Virginia district. and
Representative Brownlow. who comes
from the Tennessee part OF Bristol.
agreed. SO the virginians say. that IL
Ell Warren. a Tennesseean. were
made postmaster q Virginian should
be named as assistant The Slemps
put forward no candidate for the
place and Warren got the appoint
ment on Brownlow's Endorsement.
But the Virginia representative now
says that as soon as this appointment
was confirmed Brownlow put in a
Tennessee man as assistant.
At this stage the president enters.
AS soon as the younger Slemp got his
congressional seat he acquainted Mr..
Taft with the situation and told him
that II was about time that Virginia
was given some recognition in the
patronage I'm this divided town. The
president ~thereupon SEN to the SEN
ate the nomination Of a man named
Goodell. The Tennessee side OF Bris-
toll then got busy. A bundle of tele-
grams was sen to Brownlow. Brown
low took an ascension. As soon as he
came down he proceeded to the White
House. His protests against the Vir-
ginia appointment were vigorous. As
a result Goodell's name has been
held up.

How Congressman's Secretary Got Help

dressed about a thousand envelopes

all the congressman are sending Sec
rotary Wilson's seeds to their con

Horn saw a monumental task be-
fore himself. Hence the pretty-girl-
tempting-lunch invitation. Now q
number OF pretty girls and secretaries
are wondering who got the best OF
1t. The party idea In this connection
has taken root, too. One secretary
has a scheme to have a stag affair In
his Office. He will have cigars and
pop.
One OF the New York members OF
the house was in New York recently
and met some of the state politicians.
When the session closed a state sen.
ator owed the congressman a nice lit
tie sum which he did not have about
him. However. he forwarded a check
very soon, and inclosed the following
note: Most unwillingly | inclose q
