The visits being paid to this city and
other communities in Pennsylvania |
this week by James 1. Blakslee, assist |
ant postmaster general, are understood
to be for twofold purpose. Bakslee
as one of the cogs in the Democrats
badly battered Pennsylvania machine
is interested in finding out for the sat
isfaction of himself and the big bosses
at Washington the extent of the dam
age done to the much advertised or
ganfzation which claims the credit for
electing Wilson although it did not
give him Pennsylvania. The reorgan-
iZauon gangsters are getting ready to
proclaim themselves as Wilson's only
friends in Pennsylvania next year and
Blakslee wants to size up the remnant.
In addition the time is rolling
around for filling 103 Jobs as post
master in Pennsylvania, appointments
having been held up because of local |
squabbles and the fear of the bosses
that selections might only make mat
ters more troublesome. Now, as things
cannot be any worse for the Demo-
Gratis, 1t is the plan to make appoint
ments. and Blakslee will be chief
headsman for Republicans in office.
In the list will be Millersburg for
which j. H. Bowman is slated. The

troublesome, is also due. This is the
