SENT TO SENATE
BY PRESIDENT WILSON
LAST SATURDAY..
Change Will Be Made Soon
Retiring Postmaster Schrump Has
Given Roundup UnequaiIed Service
Many Democrats Who Sought Job
Are Disappointed But Hopeful.

The mighty struggle that has been
waged by many of the local democrats
who have been making race for the
appointment of postmaster of Round
up, to fill the vacancy recently Great
ed by the resignation of Postmaster
Aug, Schrump. is now ended. The
appointment OF Chester E. Wofford,
editor of the Tribune. was submitted
to the Senate for affirmation last Sat
urday by President Wilson. Thus
has another of the wearied brother
hood of scribes found haven of safe
refuge under the protecting wing OF
government job and will be spared
for few years from the worry OF
wondering whether he will be able to
eat beefsteak next week If 81 Hicks
pays his subscription in wood instead
of coin of the realm. We extend our
hearty congratulations to Brother
Wofford, and feel that the Roundup
postoffice will surely be as well con-
Quoted under his administration as
it has been under the efficient admin
istration of the retiring postmaster,
Mr.. Schrump.
Considerable surprise was express
ed by many of the local democrats
over the appointment of Mr. Wofford
as it was generally supposed that the
candidate apparently endorsed by Sen
ator Asbridge had the advantage. Mr..
Wofford has not made loud noise
! in his progress toward the goal of his
desires but the result speaks for the
firmness with which he must have
trodden. How he did it is worrying
good many of the local democrats
and should he put a price on his
methods, many would be in the mar
ket. But those defeated should re-
member that the circulation OF the
catalogues of the various Monty War.
| buck houses is increasing in man
ner to put generations of mosquitoes
to shame, and that the berth is not
one of rose petals and balsam in it's
entirety And then you can never
accuse a newspaper editor anyhow OF
having bought berth, that's cinch
The change in the pOstmastershiI
will probably take place as soon as
Mr.. Wofford's appointment is confirm
ed and his commission arrives. The 10
cation of the office is still in doubt
and it is a fact that the majority O
the people have at all times bee:
more interested in the probable 10
cation of the office than in the pro
bable postmaster. There are only ;
few available buildings in town. so i
: should not be difficult thing for tn
, government to decide on this ques
. ton, but until it is decided upon.
) few will worry. But Uncle Sam viii
) probably lea1e it within the city
limits.
