 The publication in last nights Far
 ner by special from Washington. D.
 C., of the action of Congressman J
 Donovan in kubmitting the name oi
 Robert T. Bradley for postmaster al
 Newtown, was eagerly read by the
 readers of this paper. and soon the
 telephone had the information all oyel

 word of criticism as to the9choice has
 been said among the party mem bers i and the Republicans and Progressive!
 agree that if a partisan choice must bs
 made, Congressman Donovan doubt less acted for the best, and made
 commend dabIe choice.
