Jealous. but MNinformed.

That Jealous defender OF the ac
ton OF Senator Swanson. in addins
10 President Wilson'S troubles by re
ieciing the Presidents nomination
for postmaster at Danville. exposes its
own ignorance OF the facts in tn,
case with the following words:
If any proposal has ever been
made to submit the matter to n
primary until after the Senate
had rejected the nomination. We
are not aware Of it; ana we fancy
We know what is goin.; on locally
quite AS we'll as does The Times
Dispatch.
The Registers fancy is weird. The
proposal to submit the respective
claims of Mitchell and Lawson to
the people OF Danvlle was made ten
days before the nomination was re-
jected by the Senate at the instance
OF Senator Swanson.
The letter challenging the Senator
to submit the matter OF postmaster
TO Il primary was sent to Postmaster
Burlcson by Eugene Withers on juno
g. and bears that date. Mr. Burle-
son transmitted The challenge to Sen
ator Swanson a few days later and
received a flat refusal. The Reg
ister's Washington correspondent can
verify these facts.
The Register may know what is
going on locally quite as we'll as The
rimes-Dispatch," but ii knows abso-
iutely nothing OF that Of which it
presumed 10 speak so authoritatively.
In that. ease il was woofully misin-
formed Who its informant was the

little doubt that in the future it will
be less disposed TO accept as authen-
tic any information from the same
source
And merely by the way: The chal-
lenge is still open. Both are candi-
dates. and if Lawson has been re-
iectcd Mitchell has never been nom-
mated. 1t can be Yet determined by
