Settle Disputes for Places
Republicans Meeting.

! Washington, d. c., May 24.-The
| Iowa democratic organization has
turned deaf ear to the appeals from
many quarters to allow Charles o.
Barry, postmaster of Walker, to con.
tinue IN office because of the fact
that he Is president of the associa-
ton OF third and fourth class post
masters Of the United States. Mr..
Barry's commission expired Decem.
Der Ia, 1912, and the democratic or.
Iganization takes the position that he
has been allowed to hold on too long,
as II is. Leo Hamblin, an active dem.
locratic politician, who Is counted ON
lby the organization to strengthen
the democratic machine in Linn coun.
~ and the Fifth district, has been
recommended to succeed Mr.. Barry.
II Is said for Mr.. Barry that he has
made model postmaster, that he has
taken great interest In the Office
and that by reason of this interest
and his energy and enthusiasm he
was elected by the third and fourth
class postmasters of the country to
the presidency of their national or
ganization, which is a credit to Iowa
and has brought fame to Walker.
