The writer read with interest the
articles anent the postmastershp, and
wish to get into the fray-for better

still larger monkey wrench thrown
into the bunch at Washington. Mr..
in all haste. Mr.. Krupp is right about
all down the Uneven to President
Harding. He has been in control now
for five long months. What has he
accomplished Just filled up jobs for
favorites.
We need-sadly-more government
OF, for and by the people. Not by
one congressman or any one man or
boss. God hasten that day when the
people can and will rule!
We think it a fair idea if an cleo
ton were held on the postmastersh p
question. Let all the candidates

a ballot and the people vote for the
best man. The winner to be the one
to have the congressman name for
the job. Let the defeated ones sign
a statement supporting the winner in
the election and declare themselves
out of the race.
The candidates to pay the expenses
of holding the election. Could any
thing be more fair? The people
would be the ones who are naming
the postmaster; not the congressman
There's plenty of time; why all this
haste. This election can ~ held at
the next regular city, county or state
election, thus giving ample time for
the people to look into the merits of
the candidates.
An election thus would of course
eliminate politics, and this is another
sad thing in the affair of our gov
ernment-too much politics Let us
hear from others on this matter.
