PARTISAN PosTMAsTERs.
Connecticut Men May Expect Hemova
 for Jealous Politics.

According to the report in Wash inston, the republican leaders of Con- necticut, especially those who are bent on maintaining their machine intact in the state for the next congressional campaign, are wondering whether first class postmasters of Connecticut will be removed from office before their terms expire or whether they will be allowed to finish out their full terms
 It Is related in Washington that the Connecticut postmasters in the first class offices have never hesitated to play republican politics when occasion required.
 President Wilson and the post office authorities will very likely let alone until their terms expire postmasters of the first class in Connecticut who have strictly adhered to their duties in post office work and have kept out of offensive partisan politics
 The democratic leaders in Washing ton and the five democratic congress men from that state know all about the republican postrnasters who were in that last campaign and what part they took therein. and this informa- = ton. 1t is reported will in good time be submitted to the head of the post office department as the ground work for proceedings against partisan fed eral officials with the purpose of re- moVal.
