Kansas senator Would Settle Patron
age Question by Vote.

washington. d. c., Jan. s2.-Senator
Bristow of Kansas has introduced a
bill, which, if enacted. would solve the

inp election shall be held for the pur-
pose of nominating postmaster to fill
the vacancy. The postmaster would
then be required to appoint the man
who received the largest number of
votes at such nominating election. In
tho event of the expiration of the term
OF a postmaster the election would be
held not later than so days before the
vacancy would occur. The term of of
flee of all postmasters would be fixed
at five years. --~
The selection of postmasters in Kan
sas Ivy election has been in vogue for
the last few years At the present time
Congressman Dudley Doolittle has
adopted this plan in settling .postoffice
