Hardy Not Likely
To Win Appointment
Gainesville Editors Fight on Wilson
Causes Opposition to His Post
office Aspirations.

WASHINGTON. d, c., April IL
Because of the bitter fight against the
nomination of Woodrow Wilson
waged in the paper of Albert s. Har-
dy. az Gainesville, Ca, it is regarded
here to-day extremely unlikely that
the Gainesville editor will have any
chance of appointment to the post
mastership he has been seeking as
sidiously for some time. Colonel
Edward T. Brown, first cousin OF
Mrs. Wilson, has conducted the OPP
position to Hardy's appointment.
This situation is said not to in
crease the chances for the reappoint =
ment of Mrs. Helen Longstreet, how
ever. Those in touch with teh satua-
ton are confident that neither will be
chosen.
Other postofices in Georgia where
appointments are hanging fire are a.
Rome and at Dublin. Mrs. Wilson
was born at Rome and is known 20
desire the selection of ]. p Bowie, an
old family friend. 1t is believed that
Congressman Gordon Lee will be
saved the necessity of making rec
concentration on this account.
Congressman Dudley H. Hughes, Of
the Twelfth district. has certified to
the postoffice department the name
Of Vivian Stanley for the office at
Dublin. but as in the case of Hardy,
who was certified by Congressman
Bell. it is regarded as almost a GER
tainty that the Congressman's wishes
will be disregarded

The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1913-01-16

The reception Saturday afternoon
given by the former students of the
University of Minnesota for Prof.
Maria Sanford at the home of Mrs.
Frank White proved most enjoyable
A number of ladies called in the al
ternoon and were delighted with the
interesting and charming personality
of Miss Sanford. The guests were re-
ceived by Mrs. White, Mrs. Wheeler,
Miss Sanford and by four graduates of
the University, Mrs. NJ. c. Boyd, Mrs.
E. G. Hilborn and the Misses Nc
Gregor and Winterer Light refresh
ments were served in the dining room
which was beautifully carried out by
the arrangement committee, compos-
ed of Miss Florence Winterer, Mrs.
Boyd and Mrs. Combs and assisted by
Miss Minnie Nelson and the presi
dents of the various clubs of the city
The refreshment table was handsome
ly decorated with baskets of yellow
daffadils tied with streamers of ma
room ribbon and the Minnesota colors
of maroon and gold were artistically
carried out in the general effect thru
out the rooms.
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1913-01-16

Petitions have been circulated and
very generally signed during the past
week which will be presented to the
state senate protesting against the
confirming of the appointment of a
former citizen of Valley City as a
member of the state tax commission,
a body created at the last session of
the Legislature and intended to inves-
tigate the conditions of taxation in
the state. 1t is always regrettable
thing to see such a movement launch
ed against any man but it is only
what one has right to expect who
has posed as reformer and at the
same time carried on mild system of
graft which has gradually enlarged
until one of the best paying appoint
i've offices of the state has been given
as reward for the betrayal of the
principals that ought to be held sac
red by every newspaper man. Most
of the business men Of the town have
signed the petition, so we are inform
ed, on the broad ground of mental and
moral unftness and desire to have it
understood that if the appointment is
finally confirmed that they aus business
men of Valley City disclaim any re-
sponsibility in the matter. The ap-
pointment was a mistake, the office is
one that requires the keenest kind of
business Judgment and il such men
must be taken care Of then by all
means give him something of less i'm
portance than that Of a member of the
state tax commission. However, we
would suggest their permanent retire
ment
