Postmaster Smith Reappointed Amid Washington Politics
Advices from Washington announce that Postmaster Claude E. Smith has been named by President Taft to succeed himself in the Carrollton post office. The senate must confirm. The situation in Washington is complex as Taft has appointed many officers for terms beyond his term, opposed by Wilson supporters. Smith’s commission expires January 26, and his reappointment faces a partisan fight likely to be watched closely by patrons and officials.
