CONGRESSMAN Fields
Is Making a Strong Effort to get Ac-
ti0n Favorable to DemocrarS.

washington Aprll Zo.-RepreSeH-
tatiye w. ]. Fields today made good
his promise to write to Postmaster
General Burleson regarding the re-
tention in office for four years of
Republican postmasters In president
ial offices who were not commission
ed Immediately upon the expiration
of their former terms. Mr. Fields
will probably take the matter up al
SO with President Wilson.
In his letter. Mr. Fields says in
part:
There are in my district, and the
entire country as well, postmasters
who were not recommissioned i'm
mediately upon the expiration of a
former term, but in order to main
tain harmony among Republican ap-
plicants for given time, whereby
some Republican candidate or can
didates would profit, or in general
terms, in order to meet political ex-
igencies, were permitted to serve for
several months, and in some cases
one and two years, without being
recommissioned. contend that in
such cases, the subsequent term be-
gan at the expiration Of the form
er term, regardless of whether or
not the postmaster was recommis
stoned at the expiration of the pre-
ceding term.
"The man who has served twelve
years has served three terms. re-
gardless OF whether or not he has
had two or three commissions is
sued to him, and regardless of the
dates on which esercommissions
were issued, and likewise. the man
who has served sixteen years has
served four full terms. There Is one
in my district who received his first
commission in February, 1898, and
has served continuously ever since
that time, but his present commits
sion does not expire until May l,
1915. II continued in office until
the expiration of his present com
mission, he will have gained two
years and three months by such NAL
nipulations as above referred to. and
there are many similar cases
throughout the country. Their re-
moval at the expiration of four.
eight, twelve or sixteen years. as
the case may be, from the date of
their first commission. will not be
unfair to them, and the precedent
thus laid will carry with 1t the eff
feet of a fair deal, to the Demo-
cratic party"
Meddling p. o. Inspecprs.
A washington dispatch says that
Fields is warning his
fellow members from Kentucky of
what he calls the danger that post
office inspectors of the Republican
sympathies will get them in with
people Of their district.
Inspectors not only select fourth
class postmasters in cases where the
salary Of the office is less than $500Il
a year, but they also have great
ieal to say to local postal service
such as location of
post offices, etc.
Mr.. Fields says he has informa- /
Jon Of instances in his district L
where inspectors have been favoring
and discriminating a.
,ainst Democrats. He warns all Dem
,cratic members of Congress to look Ia
nut and to be on their guard. IL
"The inspectors should be given {
o understand that the eyes of every
Of Congress are on them ]
