WANT POSTMASTER FIRED
BECAUSE HE HAS MUMPS

Washington. Aug. IA Republican
postmaster is bad enough under a
Democratic administration, but Re-
publican postmaster with the humps
is al affliction that good Democrats
cannot tolerate without protest. This,
evidently is the conviction of certain
residents OF Almond, n. Y, one of
whom has written to Senator O'Gor-
man asking for the immediate, remOv-
al of George p Helmer, Republican
postmaster there.
The request for Postmaster Hell
mer's removal came several days ago
and Senator OGorman asked for a
statement OF the reasons for the Of
ficeholder's peremptory dismissal He
received a reply today to the effect
that Helmcr had the humps and was
asserting and delivering mail with his
head tied up. The writer said the
residents OF the town feared the con-
tagion might spread. The senator is
in quandary. He said he felt that
man with the humps is in misery
enough without having his troubles
added TO by the loss OF his job.
