Preference primary for nearly all postmasters
Senator Bristow of Kansas proposes a national preference primary for postmasters earning 300 dollars or more annually. Vacancies would be filled by a nominating election in the district, with the winner appointed by the postmaster general for a five year term. Removal would require a full hearing, with no renomination eligibility. The nominating election could mirror county or municipal elections before the current term ends.
