Haywood Ouested as Postmaster in Lafayette
George P. Haywood is displaced as Lafayette postmaster. Charles H. Ball, editor of the Sunday Times, succeeds Haywood whose claim of no resignation and no official charges is noted. Ball’s commission arrived without department recommendation, amid absence of post office instructions. Haywood says he had wanted to resign months earlier and questions the official record of his resignation. Ball becomes third Democrat in the office since the Civil War. Haywood’s term would have expired April 29, 1914.
