We notice in several of the county
papers that Senator Spencer has said
that, after March 4th, all Missouri
postmasters holding offices would
lose them.
That would be kind of the Repub-
licans, in view of the fact that the
Republicans were allowed to serve out
their full commissions after the DEM
ocratic administration had taken hold
in 1913. Here at Leadwood Mr..
Sumpter held the office until August,
1915, one month more than his COM
mission called for. The service to the
people has been increased fully rs
per cent under the present postmaster
at Leadwood.

porarily suspended, on account of the
