Matter 7 to Be Investigated.
Postmaster General Hitchcock said to-
day that three kilograms had been re-
ceived by him complaining of eight or ten
postmaster at the smaller offices In Mr..
Clark's district, and that he had directed
Chief Post Office Inspector Sharp to take
the matter up with the inspector in
charge at ST. Louis The Postmaster Gen.
eral would not divulge the names Of the
accused postmasters because he said he
did not think it would be fair either to
them or to Mr.. Clark at this time. The
subject of pernicious activity in politics,
he said, would, however, be strictly en-
forced.
Sherman's Supporters Accused.
Similar complaints are alleged to
have been made against six republi-
can postmasters in Oneida county, N
Y, all of whom are said to be sup
porters of Vice President Sherman. Mr.
Hitchcock said. however, that he had
not been informed Of the complaints
and knew nothing at all about them
He thought they were probably made
to the local inspectors, If at ALL
1t is said all six of the postmasters
denied the charges and some of them
attribute the complaints rather to
their inactivity than otherwise. One
of them charged the "progressives''
with being at the bottom of the com
plant. Another, it is said. Was told
to see the republican county chair
man and inform him he was not
against the republican candidate for
