WILL SPEkEnH|ER

THE FEDERAL JOB
Washington Is Interested in
the Contest Being Waged
by Cong. Barnard and Post

Present Postmaster Be-
cause He Ranks Third in u.
S. for Efficiency.
palladium Specially

Washington, May 10-The Indiana
delegation at Washington is greatly
interested in the contest over the post
mastership at Richmond, Ind.
Will Edgar NJ. Haas succeed A. J..
Spekenhier as postmaster, or will
Spekenhier retain his post, which he
has held for four years? That is the
question that is being asked. Both
are influential republicans in the sixth
district. Mr.. Haas was formerly
chairman of the sixth district execu-
tive committee and Spekenhier was
formerly treasurer of Wayne county.
Congressman Barnard is the cham
pion of Haas. Postmaster General
Hitchcock, it is understood. is the
champion Of Spekenhier.
Hitchcock some time ago announced
that he favored the retention of all eff
ficient officials in the postal service.
and Spekenhier can certainly claim to
be good official, for during the last
year he ranked third on the efficiency
list of first class postmasters. Inas-
much as there are thousands of first
class offices in the country his record
is q remarkable one.
Barnard Rewards Haas.
Congressman Barnard appointed
Haas to the Richmond post office to
reward him for his services In the
election last year. This appointment
was announced some weeks ago, but
the postmaster general has never re.
ferred this appointment to the presi.
dent for approval. and to be forward
ed to the senate for confirmation.
Spekenhier's term Of office expired
Monday last and friends of Haas have
urged that prompt action on his ap'
pointment be taken. but Hitchcock
does not appear to be hustling him
self to such an extent as to attract
notice.
1t is generally understood that the
post office department recently had
an agent in Richmond canvassing the
situation. and that he reported public
opinion favored the retention OF Spe
kenhier because of his excellent rec
ord as postmaster in that city.
