The over March-mecting adjournment
resolution which Mr. Hapgood recently
introduced was not for fun mileage
each way, as has been stated, but for
full mileage one way. Mr.. Hapgood
naturally resents the misstatement
since he once put back in the state
treasury half his mileage when the
house voted it for both ways.
A joint resolution has been intro
dueed by Mr.. Proctor calling for the
restoration of the Huntington fund OF

Editor of The Reformer:-

LulioI u me hGlNEHltI.--
1t is the province of a newspaper to
print the news and tell the truth about
it. Nevertheless. errors of statement
have several times crept into the col
umns Of your paper. In yesterday at
ternoon : issue You inform your read
ers that | am circulating Il petition to
President Wilson asking him to with
draw my brother : nomination from the
senate committee on post offices and
post roads. Your informantS on the
post Office situation are not the most
reliable sources of information YOU
might seek to furnish your readers
statement of fact. About the first ref
erence The Reformer made TO the Brat
tleboro postmastership was in com
munication from Mr.. !. G. "Ullerv, as
sorting that he had direct information
from President Wilson that he would
/ appoint no man postmaster who had
served under the Cleveland administra-
tons Mr.. Ullerv 5 motive in so stat.
/ ing was to rule out nv brother. Mr.
Wilson had already appointed Mis-,
| Barrows at Hinsdale, Arthur W. Glib:
lat Huntington, Mass, John +. Shea az
Bondville, Mass. The postmaster gen
eral also appointed Albert y. sherman
lat Williamsville and many others il
| nearby New England towns and cite
who had served under the Cleveland ad
ministrations, and as many as 1000
, such appointments have since bee
made, contrary to the special informa
tion of Mr.. Ullery, who is most fol
| tunate in having his own united supper
