COMPLAINTS

before Commissioner Sawyer. He
failed to get the charges and a
fine dropped through the great
weight of his political power, but
he did think he was successful in
getting the thing kept from the
newspapers. 1t did happen to gel
into the Elizabeth City weekly
and some meddling sob told the
postoffice inspectors about it
That was dirty thing to do, fol
Mr.. Jones had just completed a
questionairre in which he stated he
had never been arrested for any
Federal offense. A good adviser
would have urged him to be as
frank as Grover Cleveland wher
accused of bastardy. The miscue
here, may have resulted in Mr.
Jones' failure to get on the ap.
proved list.
Anyway, the President is CLASH
fled as Republican and he listens
to Republicans. 1t would never dc
to appoint a postmaster from
among the three Democrats on
top of the list. They can just hold
up the appointment, and let Mr..
Jones be acting postmaster indefi-
nitely. But this lacks lot of what
is desired by the party leaders.
We got whiff of this business
of doing dirt to Mr.. Shannon, and
we asked him about it. He has
never brought it to our attention.
He doesn't run to the public. We
went to some trouble to find Mr..
Shannon, and at our insistence he
let us see the two page single
space typed letter containing eight
charges of trivialities which bore
more earmarks of childish pique
than of commonsense.
Like a lot of others, out of high
regard for Mr.. Jones, we would
have been delighted to see him
postmaster if the job must 90 to
"a Republican. Unfortunately fol-
him he got eliminated at first
base so to speak, which was moi
our fault nor wishes. But we begin
to have doubts at the future pos.
sibilities of a man who yields Sc
trustingly to the kind of advisers
on whom he appears to lean.
