Senator Hoke Smith Praised by Burleson for Parcel Post Work
Postmaster General Burleson refutes charges that Georgia Senator Hoke Smith opposed the parcel post. In a July 15, 1914 letter to Joseph P. Rockmore of Logansville, Burleson calls such claims a gross perversion of the truth and affirms Smith as one of the parcel post’s most intelligent friends and supporters. He credits Smith with helping place vital provisions in the law to aid the service for producers nationwide.
