RELIGIOUS BIAS IS
DENIED BY TUMULTY
Declares Faith of John F. Sin
mott Did Not Enter Into Ap-
continent at Newark.

Charging the man he addressed with
having violated the propricties that
all gentlemen are bound to observe"
Secretary to the President Joseph Il.
Tumulty sent today to Llewelyn +.
Pratt, of Newark. ~ j.. vigorous
uenial of the statement made by
Pratt that Secretary Tumulty had
brought about the appointment OF
.-ahn +. Sinnott as postmaster of
rr~ark because the latter was a
catholic.
In an open letter to Secretary Tum-
ulty. Mr.. Pratt states that the Secre-
tary in the course of a thirty minute
interview at the White House with a
delegation opposing Mr.. Sinnott gave
as his only reason for supporting the
latter the fact that Mr.. Sinnott and
the Secretary were of the same re-
lieious faith. In his reply. Secretary
Tumulty SAYS:
Dear Sir: Regardless of the fact that
YOU have given publicity to a purely
private conversation, and have thus vio-
lated the proprieties that all gentlemen
are bornd to observe, | hae no obJec-
ton to your, or to the members OF your
committee giving the fullest publicity
to all Of the matters discussed In any
conference J. have ever held with YOU.
In order to prove your insinuaoon
against me, that l have improperly used
the office l hold. you have sought to
give in the letter you addressed to me,
but a part of a long discussion we had
with reference to the candidates. of
Messrs. Armitagc and Sinnott for the
Newark, New Jersey, postmastership.
when discussing this matter. certain
members of your committee sought to
belittle the political standing of Mr.. Sin
mott. In reply to this. ! made the state
ment that had known Mr. Sinnott per-
sonally for years, that ] was acquaint.
ed with his record for independence of
character while a member OF the New,
ark common council; that | had futI

by his political enemies throughout New

Sinnott had defended the President.

and manly fashion and that because OF
this among other things, haa iearhen ca
TO have a very high opinion of him as
a man who was broad and tolerant IN
all of his views.
"Mr. Sinnott's name among others
was presented to the Postmaster Gen,

the letters which arrived at the Post
Office Department in favor of Mr.. Sin
