Postal Scandal Dominates Senate Debates In 1908
Our Special Correspondent reports from Waantyoron on December 14, 1908, where Senate discussions opened with postal service corruption charges. Senator Penrose urged sending recent investigations to the Post Office committee for a full inquiry, while Democrats pushed to make the probe mandatory in both chambers. The debate covered accountability, potential prosecutions, and calls to purify the department, with further comments from Senators Gorman Judge and Nelson on uncovering facts and avoiding scapegoating. A ship subsidy bill was tabled, and the President’s annual message proposed a joint commission to study merchant marine legislation, amid a Turkish consul incident in Alexandretta and ongoing diplomatic tensions with Constantinople.
