0. l. HICKS Is NAMED
AS NEWPORT POSTMASTER

Announcement is made from Wash
ingion that 0. l.. Hicks has been nam
ed as postmaster of Newport to succeed
Mrs. Jetta Lee. Thus one of the most
lterresting contests for postoffice in
Viewpoints history has come to close.
The appointment of postmaster
here was made sn issue in the late
campaign between Congressman Sells
and DIR. Massey, with the Massey peo-
pie claiming that Sells would be una
BILE to make any appointment here at
all, until after the November election,
and that DR.. Massey would make the
appointment then.
There were several applicants for the
Newport postoffice. Representative
Frank Parrot, considered that he had
just claims on the office as a reward for
his service to Governor Hooper and
Congressman Sells in the last session
of the legislature and he considered
that he had prom Sc of the governor
to assist him in securing of same.
George Gardner, one of the original
Sells supporters was considered the
logical candidate, and he was backed
up by Ex-Sheriff John Meas, the Sells
campaign manager. Gardner had t! e
endorsement of nearly all of the origi-
nal Sells people and by many it was
understood that he would be the ap
pointee.
Two or three others sent in their
names as possible applicants, but
when o l.. Hicks, then treasurer of
the Soldiers home got into the game
the other applicants had to give way.
He was closer to Governor Hooper
than any of the other applicants; he
was considered good politician and
it was seen where he could be of future
use, not only TO Congressman Sells
but TO Governor HOOPER as well, and
after getting partial promise of the
position, Nh Hicks resigned his pos =
tion al The Soldiers home and came TO
\ ~ go. ana Look up. the fight for
ot..s u,ains. DR.. Massey. He was
strongly Endorsed by the old soldiers
for any thing which he might ask of
Congressman Sells as he had become
very popular with the old soldiers at
Johnson City. This was the condition
when the last fight between DR.. Mas
sey and Congressman Sells began. DR..
Massey in his speeches picture "peor
old Gardner and "poor old John
Meas" as being turned down by Con-
gresham Sells while new found
friend was to be given the position.
Feeling in the matter in Cooke county
was very strong and Congressman
Sells and Governor Hooper were both
warned that unless Gardner was APP
pointed that it would cost each of them
500 Cooke county. votes. Gardner and
Meas fought for Gardeners appointment
until af er the convent.o i in which Sells
ana Massey measured strength, aud
then it became known that Hicks was
TO be appointed and the Gardner fight
ended, but there was no immediate APP
