Owing to Owens unalterable op-
position it is not likely that Henry r.
Dorwin will be given recess appoint

Lewis is exonerated from charges
preferred against him.
Burleson feels tEat Lewis may prove
the more acceptable of all factional
candidates Tor the postmastership.

Senator Owen asked. the postoffice
